Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike

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
eorrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are % 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
I had my way I would prohibit tho 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 p~araIyzc the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a toniO
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 al

These pills contain no calomel, no

transatlantic cable was laid, follow

made possible the submarine cable
and the first successful one was the

distance of twenty-five miles, which
was laid in 1851. Seven years later
came the first cable across the At.
