With piles, eczema or any itching skin

Doan's Ointment cures all itchiness of
the skin.
Ellsworth people endorse this claim:
Mr.. Chas. H. Curtis, shipbuilder, of
Water St., says: 81 was regular doubt
ing Thomas until used Doan's Ointment.
| never believed much in medicine, per-
haps because have been well and strong
all my life, but became greatly annoyed
with Itching Piles. l used what apothe-
carries recommended, but was not cured,
and the annoyance continued just as bad
as ever. At night it was worse than in
the day time, and it most drove me wild.
/ was in Wiggin's drug store looking for
something which had not used, when
heard about Deans Ointment. l did not
have faith enough in it at first to try it,
although informed in the store that it had
cured others. Finally l got a box. The
first application relieved me what,
and before | used a fourth of the box /
was cured. Perhaps l don't recommend
Doan's Ointment. Well, send anyone
down here to me and see."
