SKRIOUS CHANCES.
Aro TnkiMi In XckIooIIiik u Simple
ClINt' of I'llon,
Any person takes serious chances In neg
lecting an attack of plies, becauso of tho
tendency to become chronic and furthor tho
danger of ulceration and forming of fistula,
both very dllllcult to cure.
Most pllo cures aro Blmplo ointments or
salves, which relievo temporarily but aro
useless as far as making a euro Is concerned.
The safest remedy for any form of piles
whether Itching or protruding Is tho Pyra
mid Pllo Curo becauso frce-from cocalno un.l
opiates. It Is In suppository form to bo used
at night painless nnd causes no detention
from dally occupation, and tho mnny euros
mado by It havo mndo It famous In every
earner of tho United States nnd Canada and
any druggist will tell you It enjoys a greater
demand nnd popularity than any pllo reino
dy over placed on tho market.
Mr. James Kenton of Memphis, Tenn
says; "l Buffered from Itching piles for two
yenrs and found nothing that would rcllova
ma permanently; not oven mercurial olnt
mcnt seemed to reach my case. Hut n fifty
cent box of tho Pyramid Pllo Curo, which I
bought at my druggist's cured mo entirely
und for months paBt 1 havo had no return of
tho disease.
Mrs. Win. Kcnmoro of So. Omaha, writes:
"I suffered torturo from protruding piles for
a largo part of my life and had long slnco
given up nny hopo of curo, as I dared not
risk an operation and could not afford tho
expense uny vay. I had often read adver
tisements about tho Pyramid Pllo Curo, but
never placed eonlldonco In patent modl-
cinos. but I tried tho Pyramid In sheer des
noratton. and was delighted und surprised
to rocelyo umked relief and ba.ent from tho
first few applications. It took nvo llfty cent
boxes to euro mo completely, nnd no ono
can npproclato my feeling of gratitude who
has norsufferod as I nvo.'
For any enso of Itching, protruding or
blepdlng piles the Pyramid Is a cortain an
oIuttly safe romcdy,
