Doctors prescribe Nujol because it not only soothes the suffering of piles but relieves the irritation, brings comfort and helps to re- move them. Nujol is a lubricant—not a medicine or laxative — so cannot gripe. Try it today. —— 104 423 464 American Legion 82 66 91 99 Attendance in Berlin Schools — Min- 1302 ivening—Bowling Hultquist J.
