 Hemorrhods or piles are raricose Veihs: An ".ttack" of hcnorrhoids Is either acute infam- nation Of the affected veins with or without cIotting of the blood in them. or bleeding rom the veins once you get varicose veins you II probably always have them unless you submit to some medical or surgical treatment TOT their removal obliteration. Bus even IT you arc are subiect to hemorrhoids you may avoid at tacks" by careful adherence to certain rules or hygiene. .,,

 The second essential. I think, is painstaking washing and drying of the perneum regularly Where there Is q varicose condition of hemor- rhoidal veins even occasional neglect Of this is risky and often the price of the omission is an attack of piles.
 If any reader who suffers from hcrmorrhoids does not understand clearly how to follow these two essential rules of hygiene 1 will be glad to explain any point not clear to the reader, 1T the reader will accompany his question with a sta mped envelope bearing his address It IS very difficult to discuss the subject here' owing 10 the prudshness of the laity.
 One subject to piles may go for many years or for the rest of his life without another at tack" If he does adhere faithfully 10 the two rules above laid down.
 Of course there is no healing Of piles chem, orrhoids) except by one or another surgical procedure which either removes the affected portions of vein obtcrates them. Likewise there is nothing about such an operation, no matter how successful or how skilfully done that prevents the patient from developing new piles subsequently if the original causative fac- tors are not corrected.
