PROF. MUNYON'S PHILANTHROPY
Giving to the Nation n Prize That
Money Cannot Buy.

81 t0ould rather preSerUe the health
of nation than to be its ruler. =
Munyon.
This motto, written by Prof. Munyon
about sixteen years ago, was the real
cornerstone of his medicine business.
He felt that the people of the nation
were neglecting their health owing to
lack of money With the one thought
in view of helping humanity, he start
ed in the medicine business, paying
large sums of money to eminent spe-
cialists for known and tried formulas
that were known to have been sue
cessful in curing diseases After care
fully compromising these formulas and
putting them up in a marketable con-
dition, he offered them to the public
for a few pennies, easily within the
reach Of the poorest family He hired
eminent specialists at large salaries
and offered their services absolutely
free to the public to diagnose their
cases and advise them what remedies
to take. After giving the public all
these benefits he was still unsatished
and offered further to those who were
not in reach of the Offices which he
established throughout the country;
he advertised, asking them to write to
his specialists for free medical ex
animation, and today Prof. Munyon
is still following out this policy, and
whenever he hears of new drug or
a new formula that is more effective
than those that he is at the time COM
pounding, he purchases them regard
less of cost.
Prof. Munyon puts up a separate
cure for almost every i'll, and these
remedies can be had at all druggists,
mostly % cents a bottle. In taking
these remedies, you are taking what
might be called a sure thing, for he
guarantees them to produce satisfac-
tory results or he will refund your
money. This is remarkable man
and a remarkable institution, mani
testify fair to all, and firm that we do
not hesitate to recommend to our
readers
Prof Munyon's address Is SD and
