Any troublesome irritation of the skin

Mr. H. Ryall, of No. 11, Grosvenor

For some considerable time I have
been a sufferer from that annoying
complaint known as Irritating piles.
At times the Irritation was very an
noying, especially at night, and In the
warm weather. I applied some of
Doan's Ointment which I had obtained
and I am pleased to say that it gave
me the desired relief from this annoy

Doan's Ointment is splendid in all
diseases of the skin: Eczema, piles,
hives, Insect bites, sores, chilblains,
etc. It Is perfectly safe and very ef
fective. Very frequently two or three
boxes have made a complete cure of
chronic cases that have not yielded to
other remedies for years.
Doan's Ointment is sold by all chem

box, or will be mailed on receipt of
