Piles
You are costive, and nature is under a constant strain to relieve the condition. This causes a rush of blood
to the rectum, and before long congested lumps appear, itching, painful, bleeding. Then you have piles. There
are many kinds and many cures, but piles are not curable unless you assist nature in removing the cause.
CASCARETS make effort easy, regulate and soften the stools, relieving the tension, and giving nature a chance
to use her healing power. Piles, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other rectal troubles yield to the treatment, and
Cascareis quickly and surely remove them forever.
