Magic Healing Power
Discovered By Accident
Like many great discoveries-the
effectiveness of Preparation H was
also discovered quite by accident.
In the laboratories of a famous
research institution in Cincinnati,
Ohio-renowned scientists were
conducting advanced medical tests.
During an ether-extracting pro-
cedure, there was sudden explosion.
An assistant was severely burned.
AS an emergency measure, large
quantities of an ointment (still
in an experimental stage) were
smeared on. To everyone's amaze
ment-pain ceased Immediately and
the skin healed remarkably fast
without soaring.
Later tests revealed this ointment
was full of new substance which
has the astonishing power to heal
injured skin. This substance was
then scientifically combined with
other effective medical ingredients
into product called Preparation H.
And here's why this remarkable

- Preparation H promptly relieves
pain and burning rectal itch.
Shrinks hemorrhoids without sur

normal and helps prevent infection
of hemorrhoids.
Every claim made for Prepara-
tion H has been verified by doctors.

For the first time science has
found a new healing substance with
the astonishing ability to shrink
hemorrhoids, stop burning rectal
itch and relieve pain - without sur
gerry or painful injections.
In one hemorrhoid case after
another prompt relief was reported
- also striking improvement in
from 2 to days. These reports were
verified by doctors observations
and proved by four leading clinics.
Pain and itching were promptly
relieved. And while gently relieving
this distress - actual reduction
(shrinking) of hemorrhoids took
place. Most amazing of all this
Improvement was maintained in
cases where a doctors observations
were continued over a period of
many months!
In fact, results were so thorough
that sufferers were able to make
such astounding statements as
"Piles have ceased to be problem"
And among these sufferers were a
wide variety of hemorrhoid condi-
tions some of 10to20years' standing.

Attorney Ryan Fined
And Given Jail Term

Chief Judge ROzzell Thomson
yesterday sentenced Edward j..
Ryan. 68-year-old Frostburg and
Cumberland attorney to 1871 days
in prison and fined him total of
$4,000 on three counts of income
tax evasion.
The sentence was meted out iii
Federal Court at the Court House
in Cumberland and abruptly ended
a case which started Monday. Will
liam c. Walsh, one of Ryan's de a..
Tense counsel, made a motion to
withdraw the not guilty plea and
enter a plea of nolo contendere.
Joseph D. Tydings, U. S. dis.
trict attorney, opposed the motion
and cited substantial amounts of
money involved, but the motion
was granted. Tydings said that
paying taxes was the responsibility
of every citizen the same as he is
required to bear arms for his
country.
IF we are not careful in seeing
that the responsibilities of paying
taxes and obeying other duties of
a democracy, then we may be
threatened with the moral laxity
which struck such nations as the
Roman Empire"
Four character witnesses told the
court of the standing of Ryan in
the community and their own per-
sonal knowledge of his integrity.
Judge Thompson stated that "it is
not pleasant duty, especially
when you have known one for
many years, to pass sentence. We
all have to pay income taxes and
it is done on a self-assessed svs.
tenn by which we make out our
own returns. 1t depends on our
doing it honestly. If not, it would
take an army Of agents to check
into each return"
The federal iurist said that the
defendant did not report any,
where near what he made"
MIR. Ryan has been connected
with numerous trials in the Gar
