Nothing spoils a good disposition,

Like any itchiness of the skin.
Itching Piles almost drive you crazy.
All day it makes you miserable,
All night it keeps you awake.
Itch! Itch! Itch! with no relief.
Just the same with Eczema.
Can hardly keep from scratching it.
, You would do so, but you know it
makes it worse.
Such miseries are daily decreasing
People are learning they can be cur

Doan's Ointment and it did its work

rash all over me, and no one knows
how I suffered, It was like being in
the infernal region and I could get no
relief.. I did not dare scratch be
cause that made it worse. - I tried
everything but only to be disappointed.
Some one told me about Doan's Oint

applied some' of the ointment, and I
can say it brought the first relief I. had
had for a ling time. I cannot only add
that it is a preparation of great mer
