Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all 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
c~orrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most an
ments. There are 26 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 OF cuJOy Boou hS"ibh'

of nine-tenths of the cathartics hat 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
purgatiyes.
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, no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.

I watching Bdla, too, and she knew 1t,

next house, and they had the imperti-

Flanagan had seen Bella by that
time. but as he still didn't understand
the situation, things were just the
same. But his manner to me puzzled

the search he kept n Eye on me,
