CURE FOR PILES.
Piles. «re frequently preceded by a.,
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen,'causing the
patient to suppose he has some affection
of the kidneys or neighboring organs. At
times symptoms of indigestion are pres-
ent, flatulency, uneasiness of stomach,
etc. A moisture like perspiration, produ-
cing a very disagreeable itching after get
ting warm, is a common attendant. Blind
Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at once
to the application o»f Pr. Bosanko’s Pile
Remedy, which acts' directly upon the **■
parts affected, absorbing the Tumors, al-
laying the intense itching, and effecting
a permanent cure. PrioeSO cts. Address ,
