A Coinnum Oiuim , ol Piles. It Mav Lead to Serious Results. "When people understand that atl stieli fatal diseases as listuJa, uloor ol tiiti rectum, lissiue, etc., almost m variably begin in a simple case -n piles, they will learn the wisdom oi taking prompt treatment l'or the first appearance of this trouble. D'oan's Ointment is unequalled ior every form of piles—itching, bleeding, protruding and blind piles, and hundreds of lives have been saved by using this cheap but effective remedy at the start, because at such times a single pot has often effected a cure, while in the old deep-seated chronic cases, several pots are sometimes necessary. Here is a

case: — Mr F. "\V. Gardes, proprietor .Family '.Hotel, Foxton, says:—"For five years 1 suffered, from that awfully irying~complaint, itching piles. The pa'u end irritation were, at times, almost unbearable, particularly at night and during the warm weather. 1 tried many remedies in' the hope of finding s o cure, but could, get nothing to tlo me any lasting good. I then consulted a doctor, but his treatment also failed. At last Doan's Ointment was recommended to mo, the recommendation being that it had effected a. -wonderful cure. I bought a pot at once, and after I had used about half of it 1 found that the irritation 'was much less, ro <['persevered, and before long 1 was .■vtmipletely and permanently cured. I / say "permanently" because it is threw yearn since my. cure was effected, and' I have not teen troubled with piles since. I always keep a pot of Doan's Ointment in the house, and uso it occasionally just as a preventative against any return. 5.

Four years later Mr Gardes confirms the aibove:— "It is now seven years since Doan's Ointment cured me of piles, and I am still free of this complaint." Doan'e Ointment is Roothing and healing for all skin diseases, and wil! not injure the most delicate skin. Then i f you suffer from piles, eczema, hives, sores, insect bites, etc., get this" remedy to-day and put an end to your suffering.; Doan's Ointment is Gold by all chemists and storekeepers at 3s per pot, or will Bβ posted on receipt of l>ricc by Fostor-McClellan Co., 76 Pittstreet, Sydney. But, be sure you got Doan's.
