patton. In my opinion constipation
is responsible for most ailments. There
are thirty-two feet of human bowels,
which is really a sewer pipe. When this
pipe becomes clogged. the whole system
becomes poisoned, causing bi.iousness, in
digestion and impure blood, which often
produces rheumatism and kidney all

stipation or any liver complaint can ex-
pect to have clear complexion, or enjoy
good health.
Munyon's Paw-Paw Pills are a tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead Of weakening; they
enrich the blood instead of impoverish-
ing it; they enable the stomach to get
ali the nourishment from food that is
put into it.
These pills contain no calomel. no dope,
they are soothing, healing and stimu-
lating. They school the bowels to act
