Prolongs Life BY Feeding

Digests Everything
4
It Touches, Makes Good,
Rich Blood, Cures Sleep
lessness and All Ner-
vous Ailments

There is no class of sufferers whom
/ pity more than those suffering from
nervousness. They get very little
pity; the public can not understand
them. Their friends weary of them
and they seem to have no companion
ship but their own gloomy thoughts.
While others sleep they toss and turn,
worry and fret. imagine all sorts OF
impossible things. magnify their Ills
and anticipate great losses and trou-
bles. AS a rule 1t will be found that
nervous people suffer with some form
of Indigestion; that they have been
overworked or overstrained or are
suffering from some great mental
worry. One Of the best tonics is
friendship and sympathy. Every well
person should give these sufferers not
only encouragement. but their heart
felt sympathy.
My Paw Paw remedy acts directly
on the nerve centers. This remedy is
really a food as well as a stimulant
to the nerves. 1t relieves the tension,
quiets and soothes the nerves. I be-
lieve 1t to be the greatest nerve tonic
and strength builder ever placed on
the market 1t is made from the Paw
Paw fruit, which grows in India and
South America.
1t will make new stomach for
anybody and enable them to eat all
they like, when they like and what
they like. This new vegetable pepsin
is far superior to animal pepsin in
aiding digestion and the upbuilding
of the nervous system. 1t Is put up In
large bottles. A tablespoonful three
times a day or whenever needed will
give tone and strength to the weak
and debilitated and will give hope to
nerve shattered and nerve depressed
persons. If you are nervous, if you
can not concentrate your mind, If
you are irritable, IL you can not sleep,
ask your druggist for Munyon's Paw
Paw. Take it faithfully and I be-
lieve you will be pleased to write and
thank me for giving you this advice.
At all druggists. Price 81 Qarge bot
