A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, 63d

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
ali 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 a way that soon puts
these organs in a 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 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 a clear
complexion or enjoy good health. II
l had my way j 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, nc
dope; they are soothing, healing anc
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.
