HOW TO BE
Cured Of piles Without Pain.

Cured of Piles Without Pain.
First Change from sedentary oc-
cupation to wisely chosen, more active
work
Second: From indoor to outdoor life.
Third: From wrong to right clothing.
Fourth: From unhealthy, rich living
to a mild. hygienic diet.
Fifth. Sixth and last, use Pyramid
Pile Cure regularly, and according to
directions, for it is the right cure for
the trouble, and vii! cure you as IT mas
hundreds of others.
Don't wait until you are helpless

rapidly lead to worse. The unnatural
formations become humorous and per-
manent, and the Inflammation grows
until abcesses form; the disease bur-
rows into the tissues. forming tubular
growths which discharge pus; cancer
Gus conditions and general gangrenous
degeneration appear.
What is needed q. the start, or at
any stage. is something to soothe this
Inflammation, reduce the swelling and
distension. and at The same time re-
store the diseased parts to normal
condition. These three things are ac-
complished perfectly by the Pyramid
Pile Cure. 1t checks all progress of the
disease, and rapidly returns the af-
fected parts to health. besides relieving
at once the pain ana fearful irritation.
II began using the Pyramid Pile
Cure. and in order 10 make sure of
cure bought five packages; for the past
six weeks have not been troubled in
the least. and I had been bothered for
thirty-fiye years, ANA had spent more
than $50 for different remedies; this
is the first permanent help have had,
and no one could feel more grateful
than I dol. M. Williams, Conneaut.

scribing the cause and cure Of piles.
