PILES CAN BE CURED WITHOUT AN OPERATION OR MONEY BACK FROM YOUR OWN CHEMIST. Thousands of readers who suffer the acute agony and debilitating effects of piles, haemorrhoids, pruritus, dcc., iwill be greatly interested to know that these afflictions osm now be cured without re- sorting to the knife and all its pain, danger, and uncertainty of permanent results. It was once said by a- prominent medical man that such oper- I ations are often like pruning a tree. They stop the growth in one placo only to promote iit in a dozen others. A well-known London consulting chemist and expert in analytical work devoted most of his time for nearly la year to research and experi- ments with a view Ito perfecting a cure for eczema and other serious skii diseases, Not only 'did ho discover a soothing, antiseptic, and non- ¡ astringent curative compound which was amaz- ingly efficient in banishing skin affections by cor- recting their cause, but ibb,is compound, known as Nemolin', thas now been found to possess remark- table curative powers when applied to piles. Here- tofore, pile treatments have consisted of powerful astringents, which gave only temporary results, since by shrinking the tissues and blood vessels they merely increased the congestion, which is the primary cause of all piles, etc. Nemolin has just the opposite effect. It stimulates the local blood circulation, so all pain, itching, burning, and smarting istops, congestion is entirely dis- persed, and affected parts almost immediately re- turn to perfectly normal and healthy condition. Nemolin can be obtained of all chemis. NOTE.—An interesting treatise on the act-ion I of Nemolin in cases of chronic piles, etc., written by the eminent chemist referred to in the above a?icle, will be sent prepaid to anyone sufficiently interested to enclose -a penny stamp for the return postage.
