A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, 53d &
Jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you are
in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your communi-
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had personal inter
view.
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 way that soon puts
these organs in healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 20 feet of human
bowels, which is really 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 a clear
complexion or enjoy good health. If
/ had my way l would prohibit the sale
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of indigestion,
and so paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves.. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead of impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.
Regular size bottle, containing as pills,
25 cents. Munyon's Laboratory, SD &
Jefferson Sts., Philadelphia.

DOCTOR PRESCRIBES
CUTlCURA REMEDIES

Il wish to let you know Of couple
of recent cures which / have made
by the use of the Cuticura Remedies.
Last August, Mr.. - Of this city
came to my office, troubled with a
severe skin eruption. 1t was dermatitis
in its worst form. 1t started with a
slight eruption and would affect most
parts of his body, thighs, elbows.
chest, back and abdomen-and would
terminate in little pustules. The itch
ing and burning was dreadful and he
would almost tear his skin apart, try
ing to get relief. recommended all
the various treatments I could think
of and he spent about fifteen dollars
on prescriptions, but nothing seemed
to help him.
''In the meantime my wife, who
was continually suffering with slight
skin trouble and who had been try
ing different prescriptions and meth
DDS with my assistance, told me she
was going to get some of the Cuticura
Remedies and give them a fair trial.
But as l did not know much about
Cuticura at that time I was doubtful
whether 1t would help her. Her skin
would thicken, break and bleed, es-
pecially on the fingers, wrists and
arms. l could do nothing to relieve
her permanently. When she first ap-
piled the warm baths of Cuticura
Soap and applications of Cuticura
Ointment she saw a decided improve
ment and in few days she was com.
pletely cured.
Il lost no time in recommending
the Cuticura Remedies to Mr.. -,
and this was two months ago. l told
him to wash with warm baths of the
Cuticura Soap and to apply the Cuti-
cura Ointment generously. Believe
me, from the very first days use of
the Cuticura Remedies he was greatly
relieved and today he is completely
cured through their use. I have great
faith in the Cuticura Remedies and
shall always have good word for
them now that l am convinced of
their wonderful merits" (Signed) B.

A National Aquarium.

A national aquarium may at some time
be added to the wonders of Washington.
The exhibit provided by the bureau of
fisheries is an excellent nucleus for a
national one which would surpass any,
thing else Of the kind in the world and

ness and variety of the fish resources of
this continent and of the wonders of
marine life.
Washington has an aquarium in the
building of the bureau of fisheries, at 9Th

of forms of water life is popular, but
fragmentary, and has been gathered
rather as incidental to the institution of
