Itching Files
Is generally preceded by a moisture, like perspira

crawling in or about tho rectum, particularly at
nlghtwhen undressing, or in bed urter getting warm.
It appears In Mimmtr us well as win'er, oftentimes
Fhowsltbelf around the private parts, and la not con
fined to males only, but is quite as frequent that fe
males are sorely aflllcted, particularly In times cf
pregnancj', extending li-tothe voglua, proune dis
tressing almost beond tse powers of endurance.
Cases of long standing, prouounced incurable, have
been permanently cui ed by simply applying
Swayne's Ointment,
HOME TESTIMONY.
1 was Borely aflllcted with one of the most distres
sing of all olseases, 1'rurltU' or Prurigo, or more
commonly known as Itching Piles. The itching at
times was almost Intolerable, Increased by scratch
ing, and not unriequcntly became quite Horc. I
bought a box of hwayne's ointment; Its usp gave
quick relief and In a Miort time made a perfect cure.
I can now Meep undisturbed, and I would advise all
whu ore suffer log with this distressing complaint to
procure bwaynei Ointment at once. I had tried
pvescrlptlons almost Innumerable, without finding
any permanent relief.
