AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE.

Has it ever been your unhappy lot to
be told by your physician that you must
go to a hospital and submit to an opera
, ton? If so, you remember with what
dread and shrinking you awaited the day
when you must endure the knife. The
present day surgeon appears to be pos
sessed by a mania for operating, espe-
cially in cases of hemorrhoids or piles,
and while the greater number of the pro-
fession do not recommend this last re-
sort" unless they honestly believe it ne
cessary, the fact remains that much
needless operating is done, and the psf
lent put to much expense and suffering
for what? To obtain possible temper
airy relief these words are used advised
ly, because in nine cases out of ten the
affection returns and the patient is Just
where he started from. Oftentimes he
could be cured much more simply and
easily by the use of such remedy as the
Pyramid Pile Cure; this has come to ne
recognized as the best remedy on the
market for the painful disease named,
and the druggists now sell more of it
than all other pile remedies combined.
The writer personally knows people who
were afflicted with the worst form OF
bleeding and protruding piles and who
were permanently cured by the use Of
Pyramid Pile Cure. In every one of
these cases the attending physician had
assured the sufferer that only by an OPP
Grafton could he rid himself of the al
sease: so much for the infallibiiity of the
doctors. This remedy, which is sold by
all druggists at the low price of fifty
cents, is in suppository form, is applied
directly to the parts affected, and per
forms is work quietly and painlessly
The Pyramid Pile Drug Co., Marshall,
Mich, will mail free to any address a
book telling all about piles or hemor-
rhoids, their cause and cure
A suggestion is offered that if the
reader is afflicted, or knows anyone who
is, this book be sent for, as it viii be
found invaluable.
