If you want satisfactory relief from `Itching Piles'—here's good news. A renowned research laboratory has found a unique, healing substance that promptly relieves the burning itch and pain—actually shrinks hemorrhoids. This substance has been shown to produce a most effec- tive rate of healing. Its germ-killing properties also help prevent infection. In case after case "very striking improvement" was noted, even among cases of long standing. And this improvement was maintained over a period of months! This was accomplished by a new healing substance (Bio-Dyne)— which quickly helps heal injured cells and stimulate growth of new tissue. Now Bio-Dyne is offered in ointment and suppository form called Preparation "11". Ask for it at, all drug stores—satisfaction or money refunded.
