TOO GREAT EXPENSE
 Not the Reason.

It is not because Pyramid Pile Cure is so expensive that many people de- cline to give it trial. but because they find 1t too great a tax on their credulity to believe that the published letters bear ing testimony to the merit of this remedy are genuine and bona fide; especially to those who have realized the suffering in cident to piles Is 1t increditable that anyone who has been afflicted twenty five and thirty years with the worst forms of protruding and bleeding piles should be cured by the application of a simple remedy, when their physician has assured them that the only relief Is In surgical operation. This is rightfully viewed with dread by all those afflicted as 1t means at the least great shock to the nervous system. with more than possibility of utter collapse and death; in the majority of cases, too, there is return of the complaint. owing to the fact that the cause is not removed.
 The proprietors of Pyramid Pile Cure agree to forfeit one thousand dollars to anyone who will show single published testimonial to be not genuine and un- solicited this latter feature is most grat- flying, inasmuch as these letters are writ ten solely out of gratitude, and with the hope that those who are afflicted as the writers have been may learn that relief Is at hand at comparauVeiy trihiiiB expense. Pyramid Pile Cure Is for sale by druggists at fifty cents a package, or will be mailed by the makers to any ad- dress upon receipt of price.
 Mir Wm. Lichterwalter. head of the largest printing house in Canton. Ohio. says: 'It is with the utmost pleasure and satisfaction that I can say I be- lieve I am cured of protruding and bleed- ing piles. after suffering more than twen- ty-fve years. have been in bed for two weeks at time. have not suffered in the least for over a year. and used only three ffty-cent boxes of Pyramid Pile Cure. I advise every person suffering with this distressing and painful com plaint to give this remedy trial. I have every conndence in it." Write the Pyra- mid Drug Co.,, Marshall, Mich, for their book on the causes and cure of piles.
