Piles Go Quick:

Itching, bleeding or protruding piles go quickly and don't come
 back, if you really remove the cause. Bad blood circulation. in the lower bowel and hemorrhoidal veins causes piles by making the affected parts weak, flabby, almost
 dead. Salves and suppositories fail because only an internal medicine that stimulates the circulation and
 drives out the impure blood can actually correct the cause of piles. Dr J. S. Leonhardt discovered a
 real internal Pile remedy. After prescribing it for 1000 patients
 with success in over 900 cases, he named 1t HEM-ROID. Apothecaries
 Hall Go and druggists everywhere sell HEM-ROID Tablets with guar
 antee they will end your Pile mis- |ery or money back.
