NOT FOR MRS. PILKINs0N
Wife Of Husband, Drafted for the
War, Looked With 0isfavor on
Proffered Substitute.

Mr.. PilkinsOn, 4 small farmer In
Pennsylvania, was drafted for the
services Of his country during thoe
Civil war. His wife, though she pos.
sessed but q small stock OF informa.
tOn, was one Of the best conjugal
partners. and she was much troubled
at the thought of parting with her
husband. As she was engaged in
scrubbing of her doOrsteps, a rough
looking stranger came up and thus
addressed her:
Il hear. ma'am. that your husband
has been drafted"
Yes. sir, he has," answered Mrs.
Pilkinston, though, dear knows.
there's few men that couldn't better
be spared from their families"
We'll, ma'am. I've come to offer
myself as a substitute for him.
"A WHAT" asked Mrs. Pilkinston.
with some excitement.
I'm willing to take his place." said
the stranger
You take the place of my husband,
you wretch: I'll teach you to insult a
distressed woman that way, you vaga-
bond" cried Mrs. Pilkerston, as she
discharged the dirty sOapsuds in the
face of the discounted and astonished
substitute, who took to his heels just
in time to escape having his head
broken by the bucket.

A trial package Of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest Address Professor Munyon. SD 4
jefferson SITS. Philadelphia. Pa. II you are
in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your coinmun.-
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed care
fully as though you had a personal inter
view.
MUNYON'S Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathariics. 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 secretioDs of the live.
and stomach in way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most an
ments. There are 20 feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing bi,iousness. Indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailmcnt can expect to have cleaI
complexion or enjoy good health. II
i had my way / would prohibit The sale
Of nine-tenths of the cathartics that arc
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining OF the stomach,
setting up serious forms of Indigestion,
and 20 paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatiyes.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonic
to the stomach, liver aud nerves. They
inyigorate instead Of weaken; they ell
rich the blood instead OF impoverish
it; they enable the stomach TO get al
the nourishment from food that is pu.
into it.
These pills contain no caiomel, nc
dope; they are soothing. healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.
