The trifiing pain of a corn is pleasant
feeling beside the agonizing ache Of piles
That Is pain which seems to peryade the
whole body. 1t communicates itself TO all
parts near the seat of the trouble and
brings on a heavy dragging feeling in the
perineum. Those who do not so suffer do
not know what it means. 1t racks the
nerves, prevents sleep, prevents concen-
trated thought and makes a man lose flesh
as fast as he would with virulent fever.
And yet piles are looked upon as a little
thing. They are neglected-allowed to run
on from month to month and from year to
year. BY and by comes a surgical opera
tion Maybe it cures-maybe 1t kills.
There is only one sure. safe. and quick

1t is a recent discovery. and Its properties
are such that it cleanses;- soothes, and
heals the infiamed parts, reduces the in
