Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not grippe, they do not weaken, but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in q way that soon puts
these organs in healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all

bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, Indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have clear
complexion or enjoy good health. #
/ had my way would prohibit the sale
of nine tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they

puFgatives.
