When you read that a sufferer of manv years' standirg hag been completely re stored to health by usinc Smith's Cure all, you are Inclined to doubt tho stati -raent and, in fact, havo no belief In It whatever. The reason for this Is that so much is claimed for the Cure-all it h, im possible for anyone to believe it; if the advertiser confined his claims, to the cur ing of one disease, as do the proprietors of Pyramid Pile Cure, readers would have much more faith in published testimonials. Those familiar who this great remedy know that testimonials as to Hi merit may be relied upon Implicitly, also that the cures brought about bv Its uv are lUt.o short of marvelous. The genuineness of the testimonial here given Is vouehci for and Is but one ot thojsands recelveu: "I wish to write you and tell von what vour Pyramid Pile Cure has done for mo I have been troubled with piles for the past five years and used everv icmcdy that was recommended to me. While tome would give me relief for n while, they never have cured. I was so bad tfils s-um-mer I could not get up or dow-n without pain; could not attend t my household erotic?. Flmlly I got a 50-rent bos of y cur Pyramid Pile Cure at the druggist's and it Is now two montns since I used the last of the bo, nnd have had no trouble unrc I can say it is really and truly a good remedy. "I am so thankful I tried it, as I know it has cured me. and If at any time I should have any such trouble again 1 would use It al once. Since I am cured 1 have recommended it to my friends, whom I know to be afflicted a, I was. and I know; they will use it, too. I am so thank ful I ever learneo of your cure." .Mrs r.
