the first night of the meeting. The
very day before he accepted the in

meetings elsewhere, all coming to

How to Cure
Your Piles
Due Often To Carelessness or Neglect
and Stubborn to Cure

"The knife is not always necessary to
cure even desperate cases of piles" says
. physician whose years and experience
make him an authority. Indeed" he
says further: 81 have known some very
aggravated cases of long standing cured
by simple home remedy that restored
to the bowels easy natural daily move
ments."
And the doctor is right, as many letters
from cured people in various parts Of
the country prove. If sufferers from
piles, rectal tumors and ulcers would try
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin they would
often save themselves the terrible pain
and danger and the heavy expense Of q
severe surgical operation.
piles are often due to constipation
and are always aggravated by it. Easy
natural movements of the bowels such
as are invariably produced by this fam
GUS laxative without pain or grippe do
much to restore normal healthy condi-
ton to the bowels and thus cure piles.
NJ. H. Miller. Moweaque, ILL.,, says: IT
have been troubled all my life with piles
brought on by constipation. tried many
doctors and numerous remedies, but
found no relief until used Dr. Caldwelrs
Syrup Pepsin. l have used 1t as lax-
ative and stomach remedy for the past
nine years and have no more troubles with
piles" H. N. John. Minneapolis. Kan, says
he suffered for four years with piles which
were so bad that he could not work.
Four bottles Of DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin cured him, and he says he has not
been bothered since.
Dr. Caldwell.s Syrup Pepsin Is safe
sure remedy for constipation, restoring
easy natural daily movements in the
worst old chronic cases, yet so mild and
pie to take mothers give 1t to their
babies with splendid results. 1t is sold
by all druggists at SOC and $1.00 per
bottle. Pepsin Syrup Co.. 302 Caldwell
Bldg, Monticello, ILL.,, will send free
sample to anyone who has not used It
and will give it fair trial.
