A GREAT RECORD.
An Internal Treatment for Piles That
Has Made 90 Per Cent. of Cures,
Now Sold Publicly.

Dr. Leonhardts Hem Roid Gan inter-
nal remedy was tested in 5000 cases
1t cured chronic cases of bleeding, pro-
truding, itching and blind piles. 1t
was successful in all but two per cent
of the test cases.
Hem -Roid's wonderful record Is due
to the fact that it is an internal treat
ment. The cause of piles is internal
bad circulaton-and it is too much to
expect a real cure from ointments, sup
positories or surgical operations. Hep-
Roid cures by removing the internal
cause. 1t frees the circulation, and
strengthens the weak veins and men,
branes. Pure blood completes the cure.
