DISCARDED
The Old Methods of Treating piles and
Rectal Diseases SuppIanted by
the Pyramid Pile Cure.

The old methods of treating piles by
ligature, by the knife or by the cruel
methods Of dilation, besides causing
intense pain ana frequently collapse and
death, are now known to be but mere
makeshifts as far as a cure is concerned.
The liver is responsible for nearly
every case of piles and the mistake has
been made of treating piles as a purely
local disease. Such is not the case, how
ever and the success. of. the. new treat
ment known as the Pyramid Pile Cure
has demonstrated it.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not a saive
or ointment but a supp9sitory which is
applied a nigSt and absorbed into the
sensitive rectal membrane and acts both
as a local and constitutional treatment,
and in cases of many years standing
this treatment mas been effectuaI
Thousands Of pile sufferers bear wit
ness to the inestfnable value of the
Pyramid and even those who have un-
dergOne surgical operations without a
cure have been happily surprised by
results from few weeks treatment
with the Pyramid
The relief from pain is so immediate
that patients sometimes imagine that
the Pyramid contains opfates or cocaine
because the relief IS so instantaneous.
but the Pyramid Pile Cure is guaranteed
absolutely free from any opiate or min
era1 poison whatever
The relief is the result of the astring-
ent properties of the, remedy which
causes the little tun1ors and contested
blood vessels to contract and a normal
cfrcuIa ton is established.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is strictly sci
entihc, both in its composition and IN its
therapeutic action and the best feature
Of it is that it is perfectly safe and
harmless No III effectss ever result from
is use but onlv positive benefit.
A singular fact, in view of the large
number of patent medicines before the
public is that the Pyramid is the only
pile cure Of national reputation 1t is
the only pile cure popular enough and
meritorious enough to be found in every
drug store in the United States It sells
at SO cents for q full sized package

making improper use of the United
States mails
Relatives instituted search. some
going TO cabin where Workinger and
Powell had been living They found the
doors locked, and on looking through
the windows they saw the interior in
disorder and the floor covered with
blood. They forced in the doors, and in
a side room they found a heap of rub
bish. and digging down into it they
found the dead and mangled body Of
Workinger. His face and body were
covered with blood and his head was
mashed into a jelly by some blunt in
strument. Nearby they discovered q
broken gun and a monkey-wrench GOV.
cred with blood, and it is supposed thai
these instruments were used in causing
the mans death.
The floors and walls were spotted with
blood, and there was evidence that.
whoever committed the crime had at
tempted to mop up the blood on the
floor. The killing had been done in thr
kitchen, and then the assailant dragged
the body of his victim through two
rooms and covered it up in the side
room in which il was found.
Suspicion attached to Powell. He had
