NEW TO-DAY.



Professor Munyon is honored to-day as
the leading authority in the medical world.
His new and humane methods of treat-
ment have swept away all the old lash
ioned ideas of doctoring with poisonous
drugs that create dozen diseases in the
effort to get rid of one. He does not claim
that he has one remedy that VIII cure all
complaints, but that he has prepared a
specific cure for nearly every disease. He
does claim that Munyon's rheumatism
Cure will cure rheumatism; that Mum
yon's Dyspepsia Cure is positive cure for
dyspepsia and all stomach troubles; Num-
yon's Cough Cure cures coughs; Munyon's
Catarrh Remedies cure catarrh; Num-
