YOU CANNOT CURE PILES
By Internal Remedies,

The only sure way to cure every form
of piles is I'd use a remedy like the Tyr-
amid Pile Cure which is applied directly
to the parts affected and its wonderful
healing effects are apparent from the
first application because the medicinal
properties are rapidly absorbed by It's
sues and sensitive membranes of the
rectum, and the cure is made speedily
and almost before the patient is aware
of il every trace of piles has left him.
This is one Of the reasons why the
Pyramid Pile Cure has been so uniform
" successful. It is applied directly just
where it is needed and where it viii do
the most good Not by the roundabout
way of the stomach nor by the harsh,
barbarious methods of various surgical
operations and so-called systems
Direct applications to the seat of dis
ease is the only rational way, and this
is fully accomplished by the Pyramid
Pile Cure.
If the voluntary testimony of thou
worth anything, then no sufferer has any
q fair trial, knowing that when YOU do
so The Pyramid Pile Cure will have made
one more friend, the best possible adver-
tisement we can have. The chief ad-
vantages of the remedy are: 1t cures
without pain, the cure is lasting it con-
tains no poison, and lastly, it is the
cheapest and quickest cure vet found.
Your druggist can tell you what it has
done for others.
Testimonials of cures from all parts
Of the United States will be sent on an
plication to the Pyramid Drug Co, Of

u proven that many diseases, known ny
other names, are really catarrh. Form
erly the name catarrh was applied al
most exclusively to the common nasal
catarrh. but the throat. stomach, liver,

nasal passages.
In fact, wherever there is mucous
membrane there is a feeding ground for
catarrh
The usual remedies, tnhalers, sprays,
douches or powders, have been practi-
cally failures, as far as anything more
than temporary relief was concerned,
because they simply dry up the mucous
secrettons, without having the remotest
effect upon the blood and liver, which
are the real sources of catarrhal dis
eases.
