Several years ago I discovered a

bowel which increased and became
very distressing. I made inquiry as
tothe nature of the disease and learned
that I had a somewhat aggravated case

several remedies and used them as di
rected, obtaining thereby some tem

such slight relief I cast about for a per
manent cure; when a friend directed
the use of the famous Magnet Pile

from pain followed, and soon a com
