TINE Chemical Pile Ointment, for the cure
IL Of the Piles, is not equaled by any thing
in this country, and foreigners, who have made
use of it, say there is nothing in Europe like it.
It is an emoIhent, and at once soothing apphca-
ton, giving immediate ease and tranquility to
the patient when laboring under this torment
ing disease. 1t is put up In beautiful Porcelain
Pots, imported from France, especially for the
purpose, accompanied with copious directions
for use, in the severest cases.
CERTIFICATES.
I have used the / hemical Pile Ointment, -
and earnestly recommend it as superior to any
thing of the kind for the cure of the Piles.
