who are troubled with Headache
have found that correctly fitted

J. C. Berry, one of the best known
citizens of Spencer, Mo., testifies
that he cured himself of the worst
kind of piles by using a few boxes
of DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. He
had been troubled with piles for
over thirty years and had used
many different kinds of so-called
cures; but DeWitt's was the one
that did the work and he will verify
this statement if any one wishes
to write him. Mayfield, Druggist.
