S. C. Reynolds; TOO GREAT EXPENSE Not the Reason. It is not because Pyramid Pile Cure is so expensive that many people decline to give it a trial, but because they find it too great a tax on their credulity to believe that the published letters bearing testimony to the merit of this remedy are genuine and bona fide; especially to those who have realized the suffering incident to piles Is it incredible that anyone who has been afflicted twenty five and thirty years with the worst forms of 'protruding and bleeding piles should be cured by the application of a simple remedy, when their physician has assured them that the only relief Is in a surgical operation. This is rightfully viewed with dread by all those afflicted, as it means at the least a great shock to the nervous system, with more than a possibility of utter collapse and death; In the majority of cases, too, there is a return of the complaint, owing to the fact that the cause is nut removed.

The proprietors of Pyramid Pile Cure agree to forfeit one thousand dollars to anyone who will show a single published testimnoial to be not genuine and unsolicited; this latter feature is most gratifying, Inasmuch as these letters are written solely out of gratitude, and with the hope that those who are afflicted as the writers have been may learn that relief Is at hand, at a comparatively trifling expense. Pyramid Pile Cure is for sale bv driitr. gists at fifty cents a package, or will be mauea ny the makers to any address upon reeelpt of price. Mr. Wm.

Llchtenwalter. head of th largest printing house In Canton, Ohio, says: it is with the utmost pleasure and satisfaction that I can pay I believe I am cured of protruding and bleeding, piles, after suffering more than twenty five years. I havo been in bed for two weeks at a time. I hv not suffered In the least for over a year, and I used only three fifty cent boxes of Pyramid Pile Cure.
