IN SOME CASES
A Single Package Of the Pyramid
Pile Cure Is Sufficient to Core.

This may seem a broad statement
when it is remembered that few dlsases
are so obstinate to really cure as pIiess
some physicians going SO far as to say
that a painful surgical operation is TIE
only permanent cure, but the many anc
remarkable cures made by the PyfaIl =
Pile Cure in the past few years have
proven that surIcal operations are no
longer necessary, and that it is, by far
the safest and most reliable remedy YET
discovered for this common and offer
dangerous trouble
The harmless acids and healing oils
contained IN the Pyramid Pile Cure
cause the blood vessels to contract to. "A
natural condition and the little tuners
are absorbed and the cure is made witt
out pain, Inconvenience or detention
from business
DR. Williams, prominent official
surgeon says: 1T is the duty of every
surgeon to avoid an operation If posi-

Mr. Phil Owens Of So Omaha writes
that after suffering two years from =

ing piles he was cured by a single 80

Hundreds Of pile sufferers, who had

A NEW DEPARTURE.
A New, EFfectual and Convenient
Gore For Catarrh.

OF catarrh remedies, there is no end,
but of ctarrh cures there has always
been a great scarcity There are many
remedies to relieve but very few that
really cure
The old practice of shutting salt water
through the nose would often relieve and
halers in common use are very little. il
any, better than the old fashioned salt
water douche.
The use of inhalers and the application
Of salves, washes and powders to the
nose and throat to cure catarrh is no
more reasonable than to rub the back
to cure kidney disease Catarrh is Just
as much a blood disease as kidney
trouble or rheumatism and it can not
be cured by local treatment any more
than they can be.
TO cure catarrh. whether in the head
throat or stomach an internal antiseptie
treatment is necessary to drive the
catarrhal poison out of the blood and
system. and the new catarrn cure is de-
signed on this plan and the remar1a bic
success of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is
because being used internally it drives
out catarrhal Infection through action
upon the stomach, liver and bowels.

lates an experience with ratarrh which
is Of value to millions of catarrh sJ1f-
ferers everywhere. He says. II neglect

Some Of my friends recommended an
inhaler another a catarrh Salve. but
they were no good in my case, nor was
anything else until I heard of Stuarts
Catarrh Tablets and bought a package
at my drug store They benefited me
from the start and in less than four
months I was completely cured of
catarrh although I had suffered nearly
all my life from it.
They are pleasant to take and so much
more convenient to use than other
catarrh remedies that I feel I can not
say enough in favor Of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets"
