Falling of the bowel. In Piles it acts with marvellous efficacy, a few applications removing itching and pain; and two bottles cure mild cases ... you will be greatly pleased with this new combination of witch-hazel and other healing herbs. It is purely vegetable! ... It is clean, sweet, and never turns rancid! Old ulcers quickly heal under its use by following the directions to the letter. Skin diseases, salt-rheum, etc., are cured ...
