PILES
Can't Be Cured from the Outside.

Can't Be Cured from the Outside.
External treatments seldom cure Piles.
Nor do surgical operations.
The caues is inside-bad circulation.
The blood is stagnant, the veins fiabby
The bowel walls are weak, the parts
almost dead.
To quickly and safely rid yourself of
piles you must free the circulation-send
fresh current through the stagnant
pools. Internal treatment is the one safe
method.
J. S. Leonhardt. NJ D.. set at work
some years ago to find a real internal Pile
remedy. He succeeded. He named his
prescription HEM-ROID, ndtried it in
1000 cases before he was satisfied. Now
HEMROID is sold by druggists every
where under guarantee It's easy TO take,
and can always be found at Brattleboro
Drug Co. who will gladly refund the pur-
chase price to any dissatisfied customer.

Try Phosphate
If You Are Thin
and Under Weight

Nothing like Bitro-Phosphate, says DR..
Harrigan, of New York, to make thin,
delicate, nervous, discouraged men and
women take on needed weight and quickly
exhibit a nerve force that radiates health,
energy and ambition.
IT is known to be such wonderful aid
to frail and tired out people that the
BrattlebOro Drug Company and other
leading druggists, who have a large de-
mand for it, are glad to guarantee Bitro-
Phosphate.
CAUTION. Although Phosphate is an
excellent aid in relieving weak, nervous condi-
tions, its use is not advised unless increased
weight is Observation-Disclosures
