Science Shrinks Piles
New Way Without Surgery
Stops Itch—Relieves Pain
New York, N. T. (Special) -
For the first time science has
founds new healing substance
with the astonishing ability to
ing, and relieve pain - without
surgery.
In one hemorrhoid ease after
another," very striking improve-
Pain was relieved promptly.
And, while gently relieving
pain, actual reduction or re-
traction (shrinking) took place.
And most amazing of all -
this improvement was main-
tained in cases where a doctor’s
observations were continued
over a period of many months!
In fact, results were so thor-
ough that sufferers were able
to make such astonishing state-
men U as "Piles have ceased to be
a problem!” And among these
sufferers were a very wide va-
riety of hemorrhoid conditions,
some of 10 to 20 years’ standing.
All this, without the use of
narcotics, anesthetics or astrin- L
gents of any kind. Tne secret is
a new healing substance (Bio-
Dyne®)- the discovery of a
world-famous research institu-
tion. Already, Bio-Dyne is in
wide use for healing injured
tissue on all parts of the body.
This new healing substance
is offered in suppository or oint-
ment form called Preparation
H* Ask for individually sealed

positories or Preparation H
