Inflammation curable2 OF course. if
properly treated. So is piles.
People often become afflicted with
piles and ask some old chronic" who
has always persisted in the wrong
treatment, automatically he discouraRes
them by telling them that their case
is hopeless.
They in turn discourage others. and
thus a disease that can in every case
be cured by careful and skillful han
ding is allowed to sap the energy of
thousands who might free themselves
of the trouble in a few days.

aggravated case of hemOrrhOids in an
astonishingly short time Tt relieves

Thousands who had resOrted to ex-
pensive surgical treatment have been

number of instances persons who had
spent months in a hospital under a pile
specialist.
Tt is a remedy that none need fear to
