"Marketing boards are the

Healing Substance:
Shrinks Piles
Exclusive healing substance
proven to shrink hemorrhoids and
repair damaged tissue.
A renowned research institute has
found a unique healing substance
with. the ability to shrink hemor-
rhoids painlessly. It relieves itching
and discdmfort in minutes and
speeds up 6caling of the injured.
inflamed tissue.
In case after case. while gently
relieving pain. actual reduction
(shrinkage) took place.
Most important of all—results
were so thorough that this improve-
ment was maintained over a period
of many months.
All this was accomplished with a
healing suhstance (Bio -Dyne) which
quickly helps heal injured cells and
stimulates growth of new tissue.
Now Bib -Dyne is offered in oint-
ment and suppository form called
Preparation H. Ask for it at all drug
stores. Satisfaction or your ,honey
