Pile Sufferers
Can You Answer These Question

IAN lou Answer These Questions
Do you know why ointments do
not give you quick and lasting re-
lief?
Why cutting and operations fail?
Do you know the cause of piles is
internal?
That there is a stagnation of
blood in the lower bowel?
Do you know that there ia a
harmless internal tablet remedy
discovered by DR.. Leonhardt and
known as HEM-ROID. now sold by
Schlegefs Drug Stores and drug
gists generally, that is guaran-
teed?
HEM-ROID banishes the piles nv
removing the internal cause, by
freeing blood circulation in the low
er bowel. This simple home treat
ment has an almost unbelievable
record for sure, safe and lasting re-
lief to thousands of pile sick suf-
ferers, and saves the needless pain
and expense of an operation. There
is no reason why it should not do
the same for you--(Adverdse-
ment).
