TRUTH CROPS OUT
Why pile Sufferers So Often Fail to
Get Relief

Science is getting to the bottom of
everything including the cause and
cure of piles. The brightest doctors
now admit that piles are caused inter.

nal treatment. DR.. ]. S. Leonhardt
some time ago perfected a remedy in
tablet form-Hem Roid, which cures
the cause OF piles and therefore cures
permanently. 1t is sold by w. L. Co

SCIENCE IN THE TOY SHOP
The Young Idea Turns from
Noah's Ark to Steam Engines.

Noah's Ark Is becoming a derelict on the

time fondness for the cylindrical patriarch
and his retinCe OF wooden beasts But re-

points out, Is useless and the wise parent
will throttle his desire to buy Noah's srks
for the child and get him a steam engine
instead.
