IF YOU HAVE PILES one week from to-day IT'S YOUR OWN FAULT after you read the following advice. Success guaranteed in every case, or money back in full from your own chemist. If you have piles, haemorrhoids, pruri- tus, or any of the other rectal diseases which Cause almost unbearable itching, burning and aching, which rob you of energy, reduce your difease-resisting vitality, and make life a burden, get a tube of refined Nemolin from your chemist to-day. At the end of one week, if all pain, swelling, and discomfort have not disap- peared, or if at the end of two weeks you are not fully satisfied that your piles have been cured, you have only to ask and re- ceive your money back in full, immedi- ately and without red tape, per signed guarantee you receive with th- outfit. Sufficient Nemolin for two weeks' treat- ment, including special pplicatcr for in- ternal piles, cost only 3s. 6d. Heretofore, the old-fashioned pile treatments (now super&ded by Nemolin) consisted simply of powerful astringents W shrink the tissue. These, of course, only increased the congestion eventually. Nemolin stimulates the local blood circulation, thus dispersing all congestion. An interesting treatise, giving full par- ticulars regarding the rational treatment of rectal disorders, may be obtained with- out charge by anyone sufficiently in- terested to send a penny stamp for return postage.

Ioi./ W k trking a er ???? Kidney?  ?mt?  Strain.  Ever, Pidare '.b o SItw, Work in changing temperatures, 11, in an atmosphere of dust, damp, gas, chemical or lead fumes, in stuffy showrooms, oflices or factories, and work that jars the nerves or jolts the internal organs, is bad for the kidneys. And so It is found that backache, urinary troubles, inflamed kidneys or bladder, renal-dropsy, grevel and rheumatism are ccmmon amongst mechanics, cngipe-men, railway-mcn, motor-drivers, painters, printers, chemical workers, miners, auarry- men, clerks, factory hands, and shop assistants. .Change and rest from overwork, with plain food, ample deep and out- door recreation, will do much to oounteraet the harm. And if a special strengthening kidney medicine is taken in time, complete relief should follow. Here in Swansea, numbers owe immunity from painful kidney symp- toms solely to "Doan's Backache Kidney Pills. Enquire amongst your friends. Maybe it is a friend who sends the following grateful mmrngrv every word ringps with friendly good- will. Landore Remedy. On Mar. 20th. 1914, Mr. D. J. Thomas, I of 5, Pwll-street, Landore, near Swan- sea, raid:- I had spasmodic attacks of pais across the back and loins for several years. My kidneys were the cause of the trouble, for the urinary system also showed signs of the disorder. I was advised to try Doan's baek- Ache kidney pills, and I must say I found them most effective. After I had used two boxea of the pills the pains disappeared, and I was cured in other respects. I enjoy good health now. It is six years since I was cured, and 1 am pleased to say there has been no return of the trouble. (Signed) D. J. Thomas." On February 15th, 1917-throo years later-Mr. Thomas said:—" I keep splendid, thanks to Doan's pills." MOTE.—To obtain the same result as tfr. Thomas, insist on the same Medieina.
