NO SLEEP FOR THREE MONTHS
One Cause of Sleeplessness That Can
be Overcome.
Mi. Wm. Handschu, of 40th street,
Cotton Alley. Pittsburg, Pa., expteK's
himself as follows legardlng the new
remedy for that common and obstinate
disease, piles: "I take pleasure In stat
ing that I was so aflllctcd with idles
that for three months I got no regular
sleep. I became completely prostrated,
the doctors did me no good; my biother
told me of the new lemedy for plies,
the Pyramid PUo Cure; I purchased of
my drugslst three SO cent boxes and
they completely cured inc. I am once
more at work and but for this excell
ent remedy I would bo on my back.
I take great pleasure In writing this
letter because so many people aio suf
'jrors fiom this trouble who like my-
Mf did not know where to look for a
permanent, safe, reliable cure.
ilNpei lence with the Pyrnmld Pile
Cine foi the past three years has de
monstrated to the medical piofesslon as
well as to thousands of sufferers from
piles .that It Is the safest and most
elfectual pile euro ever offered to the
public, containing no opiates or pois
ons of any kind, painless and conven
ient to handle, and being sold by drug
gists at SOc. and $1 00 per box, is within
tiie reach of every sufferer.
Ven often two or three boxes have
made a complete cure of chronic cases
that had not yielded to other remedies
loi j ears.
Theie Is scarcely a disease more ag
gravating and obstinate to cure than
the vailous forms of piles, and It Is a
common practice to use ointments,
salves and similar pieparatlons con
taining dangerous poisons to remove
tho trouble. The Pyramid has super
seded all of these Ineffectual remedies
and no one suffering with nny rectal
trouble will make, any mistake in giving
the Pyramid a trial.
If In doubt as to the nature of our
trouble send to The Pyramid Drug Co.,
Marshall, Mich., for a valuable book on
piles, describing all forms of the dis
ease and describing tho method of cure.
Any druggist can furnish tho Pyramid
PUo Cure ns it is tho best known and
most popular remedy for pllox nnd if
you nsH him he can doubtlMb refer you
to many people in your own vicinity
wh- huve been cured completely by it.
