STRIKES THE SOURCE.
A Pile Cure that Goes to the Root of the
Disease.

There are lots of lotions, oils, and sales
that will, through their soothing in
fuence, relieve temporarily the pain Incl
dent to piles. But is that all the sufferer
realize that the case is only temporary
and the disease goes on under the sur
face without a moments interruption
Wouldn't it be wiser to select remedy
that seeks the source and regulates
those deep-seated disorders which induce
the disease? Pyramid Pile Cure not only
relieves the pain at once, but effects a
permanent cure of the worst form of
piles. You don't have to go through a
tedious course of dieting while using it
either. 1t strikes through those delicate
membranes and tissues and sets the blood
in healthful circulation, reducing at once
the painful Inflammation and contested
tumors. This remedy is not a haphaZard
combination of drugs but is a remedy in
vented by specialists who have treated
piles and blood disorders successfully for
years. Manufactured by the Pyramid
Drug Co.. at Marshall, Mich Almost
any first class druggist has it on sale.
Don't treat this disease with every lotion
and salve that comes along. Remember
the parts affected are among the most
delicate in the human body. This reme-
dy is absolutely safe and no one need fear
TO apply it freely on the most inflamed
parts The speed with which it allays the
pain is an agreeable surprise to the suf-
ferer.
