SERIOUS CHANCES
Are Taken in Neglecting a Simple
Case of Piles.

Any person takes serious chances in
neglecting an attack of piles, because
OF the tendency to become chronic and
further the danger of liberation and
forming of fistula, both very difficult
to cure.
Most pile cures are simple ointments
or salves, which relieve temporarily
but are useless as far as making O.
cure Is concerned.
The safest remedy for any form of
piles whether itching or protruding Is
the Pyramid Pile Cure because free
from cocaine and opiates. 1t is In sup
pository form to be used at night and
painless and causes no detention from
daily occupation, and the many cures
made by II have made 1t famous In
every corner of the United States and
Canada and any druggist will tell you
1t enjoys a greater demand and popu-
larity than any pile remedy ever
placed on the market.
Mr.. James Kenton, of Memphis
Tenn, says: 81 suffered from itching
piles for two years and found nothing
that would relieve me permanently;
not even mercurial ointment seemed
to reach my case. But q fifty-cent
box OF the Pyramid Pile Cure, which
l bought at my druggists cured me
entirely and for months past l have
had no return of the disease"
Mrs. William Kenmore, Of South
Omaha, writes: 81 suffered torture
from protruding piles for n large part
of my life and had long since given
up any hope of cure, as dared not
risk an operation and could not afford
the expense anyway. I had often read
advertisements about the Pyramid
Pile Cure, but never placed confidence
in patent medicines, but I tried the
Pyramid in sheer desperation, and was
delighted and surprised to receive
marked relief and benefit from the
first few applications. 1t took five
flfty-cent boxes to cure me completes
ly, and no one can appreciate my feel
ing of gratitude who has not suffered
as / have"
For any case of itching, protruding
or bleeding piles the Pyramid is a cer-
tain absolutely safe remedy.
