Apter g caused by Piles ls Quickly Ended when

Dr. A. W. Ghase’s Gintment is applied

Besides the intense agony caused by the itching, burning sensations of piles, there are other symptoms which produce restlessness and at times excruciating gains known saly to the victim of piles.

What would one give to be free of this terrible disease? And yet there is a cure—a@ positive cure—which does not cost much and is not painful or difficult to apply.

Dr. A. W. Chase's Ointment is, so far as is known, the only absolute cure for blind, itch- ing, bleeding and protruding piles. It gives relief at the first application and affords a per- fect cure in the most aggravated cases.

Mr. Isaac Foster, Erieview, Ont, says: “3 was troubled with itching piles for two years and could not sleep at night. I was halfcrazed and tried everything. Finally seeing Dr. Chase’s Ointment advertised 1 tried it and found it pee. After a second application I found relief, and one large box cured me, Have never been bothered since, and I can re- commend it to all suffering from the same trouble.”
