MUNYON'S WORK

Big Success Shown by Number
Of Callers.
Local Man Tells San Francisco Head.
quarters of Remarkable Relief
From rheumatism.

The apparent success which Profes.
sor James M. Munyon, the world.
famous health authority, has been
meeting in San Francisco has started
much discussion. The continuous
stream of callers has kept DR.. Mum
yon's expert representatives busy
every day for several weeks at the
main store of the Owl Drug company,
San Francisco, where he has estab-
lished headquarters for meeting the
people.
Munyon's following seems to be
enormous. Those who believe in his
theories seem to think he possesses the
most marvellous powers for the heal
ing of all sorts of diseases. Munyon,
himsef, laughs at this. He says:
"The hundreds of cures which you
are hearing about every day in San
Francisco are not in any way due to
my personal skill. 1t is my remedies,
which represent the combined brains
of the greatest medical specialists
science has ever known, that is doing
the work. I have paid thousands of
dollars for a single formula and the
exclusive right to manufacture it. !
have paid tens of thousands of dollars
for others of my various forms Of
treatment. That is why get such
remarkable results. l have simply
bought the best products of the best
brains in the world and placed this
knowledge within the reach of the
general public"
Among Munyon's callers yesterday
were many who were enthusiastic in
their praise of the man. One of these
said: "For six years | suffered from
rheumatism. My arms and legs were
afflicted so badly that | could hardly
work, and l could not raise my arm to
my head. The pain was most severe
in the back, however, and l was in
perfect torture. l tried in many
ways to get cured, or even to secure
temporary relief, but nothing seemed
to help me until / was persuaded by
a friend to try Munyon's Uric Acid
course. 1t was the most marvelously
acting remedy l ever saw, within q
week the pain had most gone and in.
side of a month l considered myself
entirely cured. can now go out in
the worst weather-cold, or wet OF
anything else, and have not felt any
suspicion of return of the disease.
l think that every person who has
rheumatism and does not take the
Uric Acid course is making a great
mistake"
