For Itching Eczema,
 Old Sores and Piles

II guarantee my ointment says Peterson of Buffalo, ito cure eczema: to stop the itching at once and any reliable druggist will cheerfully, re- fund your money if PETERSON'S OINTMENT doesn't do everything l say it will do.''
 William A. Carley of Franklin, N. Y, is surely wise man. He writes: II used PETERSON'S OINTMENT on a little boy suffering terrible with eczema. It did the work
 Then there is Alex. Louttel, d brave fireman of Buffalo, who is glad to write as follows: "I had an old sore on my leg for many years. The best doctors failed. PETERSON'S OINT- MENT entirely healed the sore quick ly." And from over in Canada comes a letter from A. Blockeby, stating: The best thing I ever hit for itching piles is PETERSON'S OINTMENT" A big box for 35 cents. Mail ordersx filled by Peterson Ointment O., Inc, Buffalo. N. Y.
