PILES HEMORRIsOdos
ARE CAUSED RY
CONSTIPATION.
There are few complaints more common
than hemorrhoids, commonly called piles,
and scarcely any which cause more
trouble and misery.
Piles are divided into three classes;
Le., itching, protruding and bleeding, and
consist in a fullness of blood and languid
circulation in the portion of the lower
bowel or rectum.
The chief causes of piles are con-
stipation straining at stool, and the
using of drastic purgatives. This latter
we would very strongly advise against
as these strong purgatives, especially
those containing calomel and other
mineral drugs are too strong for the
average person's bowels.
A mild laxative will do more to correct

MEASLES
LEFT
BAD COUGH.
The after-effects of measles may befaf
reaching, as the irritation of the re.
apiratory passages: is one of the ch€u.
aoteristics of this disease, Axid very •t `.
often ,those who have been robust,
become delicate and liable to lung troubles,
hence measles should never be regarded
with indifference.
Measles are generally followed by an
acute attack on the mucous membranes:
The sneezing is accompanied with a
watery discharge, sometimes bleeding
from the nose, a cough of a short, ire-
quent and noisy character, with little or
Cao expectoration, hoarseness of the voice,
etc.
Once the cough starts you should
prooure a bottle of Dr. Woods Norway
Pine Syrup, take a few doses a day
and thus prevent bronchitis, pneumonia,
or perhaps conacianption getting a foot-
hold on your system.

MILBURN'S HEART and NERVE PILLS.
There are many people, at the present
time, whose heart is affected, whose
nerves are unstrung and general health
impaired.
To such we offer Milburn's Heart and
Nerve Pills as the best remedy that
science has produced for such troubles.
These pills have a wouder'tul effect on
the weakened heart and the shattered
nervous system, containing as they do
the very best elements for the relief of
all heart and nerve troubles.
Mrs. C. Farrity Trossachs, Sask.,
writes: -"I suffered for over a year
with heart and nerve trouble. I had
terrible headaches and dizziness, could
not sleep and had no appetite, I was
taking doctor's medicine, but it did not
help me. I was completely- discouraged.
Thenafriend told me of Milburn's Heart
and Nerve Pills. After taking one box
I began to feel better, and after seven
boxes I felt like a new person. I heartily
recommend them to all my friends."

Hai! INDIGESTION
And DYS E:PSiA5
CAN EAT ANYTUUNG NOW.
The misery which stomach troubles
cause, the sufferer knows only too well,
and anyone who suffers knows what
joy it would give to be able to eat three
square meals a day, and not be punished
for it after.
Before you can eat heartily, and not
pick and choose your food, .you must
put your stomach right so that it will;..
produce its own digestive ferrnents.
For forty-two years Burdock Blood ,
Bitters has been making weak stomachs
strong, and permanently relieving severe
cases of indigestion and dyspepsia that
very often other remedies were powerless
to reach,
Mrs, Alice Becknorth, Pcssorton, Ont.,
writes: -"1: have been a great sufferer
from indigestion and dyspepsia fol
several years, and could not eat any-
thing without almost dying from the pti,an
