YOU CANNOT CURE PILES.
BY Internal Remedies.

The only sure way to cure every form
of piles is to Use u remedy like the
Pyramid 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 alb
sorbed by tissues and sensitive mem
branes of the rectum, and the cure Is
made speedily and almost before the
patient Is awareo of 1t every trace or
piles has left him.
This is one of the reasons why the
Pyramid Pile cure has been so uni
formly successful. 1t is applied direct
~ Just where ii is needed and where
1t will do the most good. Not by the
round about way Of the stomach nor
thc harsh barbarous methods of varl-
ous surgical operations.
Direct application to the scat of the
disease Is the only rational way. and
this is fully accomplished by the Py-
ramid Pile cure.
If the voluntary testimony of thous-
ands who have tried this remedy is
worth anything then no sufferer has
any excuse for further delaying in Civ
ing it fair trial. knowing that when
you do so the Pyramid Pile Cure VIII
have made one more friend, the best
possible advertisement we can have.
The chief advantages of the remedy
are: 1t cures without pain. the cure
Is lasting. 1t contains no poison. and.
lastly. 1t is the cheapest and quickest
cure vet found. Your druggist can
tell you what 1t has done for others.
Testimonials of cures from all parts
of the United States Will be sent on
application to the Pyramid Drug Co..
