SUFFERERS FROM PILES AND

Modern medical science and skill have
at last succeeded in producing a remedy

years have demonstrated taaJ IL Is the

pended upon rs a genuine cure Their"
are many remedies which give relief. hut
such relief Is only temporary and the
trouble soon returns as bad or worse
than ever. But the Pyramid Pile Cure
stands practically alone as q lasting cure.
1t not only gives immediate relief, but
the relief Is there TO stay
Mr. J. ". Rollins writes briefly and to
the point regarding his experience with
piles. He says I consider the Pyramid
Pile Cure without an equal 1t cured me
