PERSHING OFTEN WITH

CHICAGO, H., March i.-"Pershing

This was The answer Of Caesar Santini,
Pershing's head chauffeur in France, to
a question put to him by an ex-soldler
at the Chicago auto show, where San
TIM was recently demonstrating the
Locomobile for a Chicago agency.
The solder with several companions.
approached Santni on learning that he
had been Pershing's head chauffeur and
asked, was General Pershing actually
at the front?"
General Pershing was frequently al

though his whereabouts were never dis

Piles

Can't be Cured from the Outside.
External treatments seldom cure piles.
Nor do surgical operations.
The cause is inside-bad circulation.
The blood Is stagnant, the veins fiabby.
The bowel walls are weak. the parts al
most dead.
To quickly and safely rid yourself Of
piles you must free the circulation, send
a fresh current through the stagnant pools.
Internal treatment is the one safe method.
ointments and cutting won't do It,
j. S. Leonhardt, M. d., specialist, set
at work some years ago to find real in
ternal remedy for piles. He succeeded. He
named his prescription HEM ROID, and
tried 1t in 1000 cases before he was salts
fed Now HEM RoID Is sold by druggists
everywhere under guarantee. It is a harm
less tablet, easy 10 take, and can always
be found at N. h. Danforth's and drug
gists everywhere, who will gladly refund
the purchase price to any dissatisfied Gus

seven Thousand persons each year are

unfortunate ones had neglected themselves

attention TO the cause. What are you
doingf Are you neglecting yourself by
wearing truss, appliance, or whatever
name you choose to call t.? At best the
truss Is only makeshift-a false prop
against collapsing wall-and cannot be
expected to act as more than n mere me-
chnnical support. The binding pressure
retards blood circulation, thus rObbing the
weakened muscles Of that which they need
most--no nourishment.
But science has found a way, and every
truss sufferer IN the land Is isgited to make
FREE test right in the privacy Of their
own home. The PLAPAO method Is un-
questionably the most scientific, logical
and successful self-treatment for rupture
