WHY THEY FAIL
Most Pile Remedies Miss the Cause Of
Piles.

Disagreeabe treatment with ONT
ments or suppositories usually fails to
cure piles and cutting them off won't
remove the cause. Such treatment only
modefates the outside effects Of the dis
ease and fails to remedy the inside cause.
The up-to.date doctors now use internal
medicine. to free the circulation in the
lower bowel and so remove the disease.
