Thousands of men and women arc mulcted with pome sort of Piles, with out either knowing the exact nature of tho trouble, or knowing It, uro care less enough to allow It to run without taking tho simple, means offered for u. radical cure. The failure of salves and ointments to permanently cure piles has led many to believe tho only euro to be a sur gical operation. Surgical operations are dangerous to life nnd moreover not often entirely successful and at this time arc no longer used by the best physicians or recommended by them. The safest and surest way to euro any case of piles, whether blind, bleed ing or protruding. Is to use the Pyra mid Pile cure, composed of healing vegetable oils, and absolutely free from mineral poisons and opiates. The fol lowing letter from a Pittsburg gentle- I man, u severe sufferer from uieeuing d Q thp t . .. effectual character of this pile cure, He writes: I tuko pleasure writing these few lines to let you know that I did not sleep for three months except for i short time each night because of a bad cuse of bleeding piles. I was down In bed and the doctors did me no good. A good brother told me of tho Pyramid Pile Cure and I bought from my drug gist three ilfty-cent bottles. They cured me and 1 will soon be able to go to my work again. William Handschu, 1G St., Cotton Alley, below Butter St., Pittsburg, Pa. Tho Pyramid Pile Cure Is not only the safest nnd surest remedy for piles, but Is the best known and most popu lar. Every physician und druggist In tho country Knows It and what It will do.
