A RELIABLE PILE CURE.

The Paramid Pile Cure is the safest
and surest Pile Cure on the market,
because it contains no mineral poi
sons nor opium nor cocaine, but can
be used with absolute safety and cer-
tainty of cure.
Many physicians are now using the
Pyramid Pile Cure in place of surgical
operations, being painless. convenient
to use, and the patient can attend 10
his daily occupation while the cure Is
being made, as il is used at night and
no additional treatment Is necessary.
Dr. Wharton says the Pyramid Pile
Cure will prove blessing TO man
kind, when 1t Is remembered that
heretofore a surgical operation was
considered the only cure with all its
danger to life. intense pain and am en-
pense of from ten to one hundred dol
lars, to say nothing of the possible re-
turn OF the trouble. The Pyramid Pile
Cure is sold by druggists at so cents
and H.0o and does the work quickly
and safely.
A book on cause and cure of piles

ramid Co, Marshal, Mich.
