MUNYON'S CHALLENGE
The following Correspondence
Explains Itself.
The indianapolis Sentinel In
vited to Investigate.
Of Interest to Everybody.

10000 Trial Bottles of Munyon's
Guaranteed Cure VIII
Be Given Away for Two Days at
the Sentinel ONCE, BEGINNING Mon
day Morning, Jan. IA.
To the Editor of the indianapolis Sentinel:
Having discovered a positive and speedy
cure for rheumatism. / address you in the
hope that you will give publicity TO my
claim. / am well aware that in making the
bold assertion that I have discovered a
positive cure for rheumatism, there VIII
arise a strong doubt in the minds of the
public as to the truth of the statement,
and that a large majority of the people will
class this new discovery with the Koch
lymph failure and the Brown-Sequard elixir
Of life delusion.
1t is to overcome this prejudice that / in
woke the aid of the Sentinel. ] court the
fullest investigation under your direct and
personal supervision. / would suggest that
the fairest and surest way to test the eff
cacy of this remedy would be for this COM
pany to send ten thousand trial bottles to
the Sentinel office, there to be given out
absolutely free, to all persons afflicted with
rheumatism, that the name and address of
each person who accepts the remedy be en-
tered in a book, and at the end of one week
a reporter be detailed to interview the par
ties who have taken the medicine. and that
the results of each case be published in the
Sentinel. BY this means there can be no
deception or fraud, and the value of this
remedy will stand or fall upon the testi-
mony of those who have tried it.
Improbable as this statement may seem
to you or to those who have doctored for
years with the most skilled physicians
without benefit. yet / affirm and am pre-
pared to prove by over forty thousand peo-
pie whom we have cured, that this remedy
will cure acute or muscular in
from one to five days. 1t never fails to
cure sharp, shooting pains in the arms,
legs, sides, back or breast, or soreness in
any part of the body. 1t is guaranteed to
promptly cure lameness, s~ciatica, lumbago,
stiff and swollen joints, stiff back and all
pains in the hips and loins. 1t seldom
fails to give relief after one or two doses,
and almost invariably cures before one
bottle has been used.
We do not claim that this remedy will
cure rheumatism where the limbs are
twisted out of shape, or where the disease
is complicated by a scrofulous diathesis,
but by careful record we find tina this
REMEDY fails to cure only in about 5 per
cent. of the cases in which it has been
tried.
One of the strongest recommendations for
this remedy is that it is absolutely harm
less, and that a person can take the whole
contents of a bottle without the slightest
i'll effects. Unlike the medicines used in
ordinary practice for the cure of rheuma-
tism, such as iodide of potash. and sallicylic
acid, which irritate the stomach and kid
neys and disorganize the general system
without e~ffecting a cure, this remedy acts
as a strong tonic, and is invaluable in build
ing up weak and debilitated people.
Believing that there is no cause SO holy
and inspiring, no vocation so lofty and en-
nobling, nothing so sure of mans gratitude
and Gods blessing as an honest effort to
relieve suffering humanity, / beg TO re-
main yours, truly,
JAMES NJ. MUNYON.
Jan. /. 1895.
