sorbs the tumors, allajs the intense itchir g
( paxticula. ly at night after getting warm in
bed), acts as s poultice, gives instant aud j
painless relief, and is prepared only for Piles,
itching of the private parts and nothing else.
''I consulted physicians in Philadel
phia, Louisville, Cincinnati, Indianapolis aad
this city, and spent hundreds of dolla-s, ant
found no re ief until I obtained s box of Dr.
William's Indian Ointment some four months
ago, and it has cured me completely."
