sumption Of an intimate friendship

And Blossom, who had always been
overjoyed at her attentions, refusing

But, even worse, could the man have
meant to insinuate that she was con-

classic little nose, Miss Cynthia swept
out Of the door without SO much as a

soft gray and has green hangings. The
furniture is light oak with green sofa
pillows here and there, and the big
sofa is upholstered in green The
window shades are dark enough
to subdue the light. Thus the room is
in the most admirable taste and
soothes the nerves. When the woman

A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest Address Professor Munyon, SD &
Jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you are
in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your commune
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case viii be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had a personal inter-
view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other Iaxatives 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 % 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 clear
complexion or enjoy good health If
/ had my way | 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 a 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,
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.
Regular size bottle, containing As pills,
