SUFFERERS FROM PILES AND
 RECTAL DISEASES.
Have Now a Simple But Effective
 Cure.

Modern medical science and skill has at last succeeded in producing a remedy which effectually cures that common, but extremely annoying trouble, piles.
 The Pyramid Pile Cure is the remedy referred to and repeated and thorough trials of the remedy during the past three years have demonstrated that it is the long sought for remedy which can be de- pended upon as a genuine cure, There are many remedies which give relief. but 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 a lasting cure. It not only gives immediate relief, but the relief is there to stay
 MT. ]. W. Rollins writes briefly and to the point regarding his experience with Piles. He says: T consider the Pyramid Pile Cure without an equal It cured me in less than thirty days. I waited ff- teen days or more to be sure the remedy had fully cured me before writing you. I can now say I am cured and shall re- commend the Pyramid Pile Cure at ev- cry possible opportunity because 1t de- serves it.
 We quote from this gentlaman's let ter to show our readers how promptly the remedy acts and also that there Is no return of the trouble.
 The Pyramid Pile Cure Is simple and harmless, containing purely vegetable ingredients and can be used in all eases with perfect safety and with the assur- ance that cure win follow. Phystoians prescribe it and use it in all eases of piles in preference to the danger and un- certainty of surgical operation, II cures without pain or inconvenience of any kind,
 The Pyramid Pile Cure Is prepared by the Pyramid Drug Co.,, of Marshall, Mich, and sold by druggists everywhere at 5t per package, making 1t the safest, surest cheapest pile cure before the public and enc you can try with almost certain sue cess.
