A CONTINUAL DRAG.
The Exact Term.

Only those who have experienced
the pain and suffering incident to
Piles or Hermorrhoids can know what
a drag and handicap this complaint
is; how even the mildest forms hinder
the patient from putting forth his or
her best efforts, while those afflicted
with bleeding and protruding piles
realize all the tortures of the Inquisi-
ton.
1t may surprise the reader to know
that there is a sure, permanent cure
for this disease, as the following tes-
timony from Mr.. E. A. Leonard. an
American resident in the City of Mex
leo will show:
For twenty years I suffered with
piles, sometimes being confined to my
bed for days at a time. The relief
received from doctors both in the
United States and Mexico, was tempo
rarv. and more frequently I received
no relief: other medicines had no eff
feet. II was continual drag. I
was At for nothing. l finally tried
pyramid Pile Cure; first application
was magical; l could not believe 1
was awake next morning; / expert
enced a relief that | had not known
for twenty years. One box cured me;
but not believing myself cured, 1
bought two more, but they are still in
nv trunk. / first used the remedy in
July, 1902; have had no occasion TO
use it since. The world should know
~ pvramid Pile Cure. / have no
words to express its merits"
pyramid pile Cure is in the form of
q sippository, which is admitted by
All physicians to be the best prepare
ton for treating piles; it comes in
direct contact with the painful tumors
and does it's work quickly and pain
lessly. It is sold by druggists, gen.
o,.aIiv for 30 cents a package, and
there Is no other remedy Just as
good. ,,..,
