SURPRISING NUMBER OF
VISITORS SHOWS INTEREST

Local Folk Testify-Stomach Trouble.
Conquered and Rheumatism
Pangs Overcome.

One of the most remarkable feat
ures about Prof. j. M. Munyon is the
extraordinary amount of attention he
has attracted. Here and all over the
country, the immense crowds that
have been focking to see him, and the
large quantity of mail he receives
daily at his headquarters, Munyon Is
Laboratories, SD and Jefferson Sts,
Philadelphia. He receives mail and
visitors frsm every city in the United
States and Canada. Most notable is
the fact that rich and poor come to
him alike, and few hours spent at
the side of the physician is a most in
teresting study in human nature.
Many remarkable cases of relief Sc
cured were related at the store this
week.
One was that of man who had
suffered from Indigestion and stomach
trouble for more than ten years. He
said:

cases of stomach trouble on record.

Another enthusiastic visitor was a
woman who declared that her mother
had been relieved of rheumatism in a
most remarkable manner. She said:
"My mother was fiat on her back in
bed with rheumatism, sciatic, muscu-
larry and infammatory. Doctors had
pronounced her case almost incur

hope of her ever being able to walk
again. L procured a treatment for
her from one of these Munyon doctors,
and today she is able to get about
the house with perfect ease and

anything that a woman of her age
might be expected to do. The rheu-

Efacing Summer Curves
By Pleasant Processes

Women have been gaining in
weight during the summer A study

an afternoon VIII show this" said n
woman who practices physical culture.
Perhaps the most important cause OF
this is the mental attitude of women.
They are willing to gain little In
weight, for they carried the matter
of getting thin too far and being
willing to gain something. they have
gained too much.
"Other causes arise from the fash
ions. Among them can be mentioned
the following:
sitting in an auto makes women
stout.
The pretty shoes that are the vogue
help to increase ones weight because
1T is impossible to walk in them.
"Hobblc skirts encourage the com
ing of the pounds. and even IL one
doesn't wear a hobble skirt one wears
skirts too narrow for comfortable
walking.

another encourager of flesh us tho
short walt which. with its straight
skirt. conceals the fact that woman
is stout. It makes woman feel that
she can afford to have full hips. and go
she eats little more and exercises a
little less.
But by far the greatest factor in
the general increase in weight is the
mental attitude. Last spring the wo-
men were reducing so strenuously that
they impaired their health. Then they
decided that 1t was better to be n little
plumper and to have better health.
As result they began to take ice
cream sodas in the middle of tho day,
between meals and to indulge in after
noon maps The result was immedi-
ately apparent in the added pounds.
Reducing the weight is difficult for
the reason that one looks ut 1t as a
great stunt which Is next to the Inn
possible. but really II Is not so hard
a. good way to effect 1t IS to follow the
reduction code as it Is written out for

what In Woman Heret

The latest question aeitating the

arc women? II was introduced In a
Washington woman'e club recently by
Mrs. Ruth @. D. Ravens. who offered
as an offset to the seeming abeurdity
OF her query three court declsions con-
corning them. The United States Su
preme Court, she observed, adjudged
women are not citizens: in a Maryland
court II was found they are not per-
sons, and a Wisconsin Judge deter
mined that they are not people.
Hence. Mrs. Ravens remarks. It only
remains for publishers of city dlreo-
