PILES—OPERATION AVOIDED. A Pihamo man, writing to. the Zann Pro. prietary, tells how he had Weeding and itching piles for three years, tried many palliatives without success,- and finally could not walk about except in agony. " Only for yopr Zann Treatment,” he adds, “ I should have been - under an operation.” Hundreds of pile sufferers have obviated the necessity for an operation by taking the Zann Double Absorption Treatment. This’ ends external and internal piles. Blind, bleeding, and itching piles 'all yield to " Zann,” in . some cases even where operations have failed. A generous trial treatment of " Zann ” will be sent to all pile sufferers on receipt of ninepence in stamps. Address, Zann Proprietary, Box 952, Wellington.
