Professor Munyon says that good health
Is essential to the accomplishment of good
work No matter how ambitious or how
pure or lofty ones ideas may be, if dis
ease is sapping our vitality and attracting
the thoughts to bodily ailments, we shall
not be able to render our loved ones and
society that great sympathy and assistance
they have right to expect of US. If you
are alllng your first duty is to get well.
! believe there is a cure for every disease
l have fifty-seven different cures for fifty
seven different ailments. Science will some
day discover the others.
Munyon guarantees that his Rheumatism
Cure will cure nearly all cases of rheuma-
tism in a few hours; that his Dyspepsia
Cure will cure Indigestion and all stomach
troubles; that his Kidney Cure will cure
30 per cent. of all cases Of kidney trouble;
that his Catarrh Cure will cure catarrh, no
matter how long standing. that his Head
ache Cure will cure any kind Of headache
IN few minutes; that his Cold Cure will
quickly break up any form Of cold, and
so on through the entire list Of his rene
dies.
