tracing Attention.

Prof. James Munyon, the health ex.
pert, had strenuous time yesterday.
People seemed to flock to him on ac-
count of his remarkable success, and
it was difficult matter to get within
speaking distance of him. Several
persons expressed themselves forcibly
in explaining the reasons for their be-
lief of the man. One young woman,
who is very prominent in the city,
said:
II have been suffering for years
with a combination of stomach troub-
les, catarrh and other troubles, with
general debility. l could hardly do
anything at times on account of the
pain in my stomach, side and chest.
! had dull gnawing pain in the pit Of
my stomach, palpitation of the heart,
and a feeling of weakness that / could
not understand. Headaches most of
the time, with extreme nervousness,
made it SO that could not eat, and
what little food that did eat I did
not seem to get any strength from.
Very often / would have to get up at
night for something to eat in order to
stop the hungry feeling that would
come over me.
Munyon's treatments had been
suggested to me, but | laughed at the
idea that they could do me any good,
as had tried SO many doctors and rem
edies without relief. l was tired,
nervous and worn out all the time.
Nothing could do made me feel any
better.
Il had little hopes that his new
treatment could help me, but when
heard what wonderful work he was
doing here / decided to consult him.
Now l feel like woman made over;
am regaining my weight, feel well
and cheerful all the time. was sur
prised at the quick results, for my i'm
provement was almost immediate; my
soreness vanished and I could eat any
thing I wanted to. look and feel 10
years younger, and it is all due to
Prof. Munyon's new treatment" I"
"This statement is one of many"
said the health expert today. II
have not had one single case of dis
satisfaction or poor results from my
treatment in this city since opening
here.
II believe that can do as much for
others as / have done for her. My
methods are simple, founded on Ma
ture, and have made stomach trouble
a deep study for years. That ex-
plains my universal success.
II want every man or woman suf-
fering from rheumatism, bladder-kid-
ney troubles or indigestion to go to
the nearest drug store and get my
remedies. These little pellets remove
the cause of your trouble once for all.
If you are not sure just what your
trouble is, write personal letter to
Prof. j. M. Munyon, SD and Jeffer-
son Sts., and he and his expert corps
of physicians will give you medical
advice absolutely free. They will
send you an examination blank and
ask questions and give you the most
painstaking examination and there is
not penny to pay nor are you under
any obligation to follow their advice.
