ITCHED so COULD NOT SLEEP

Il suffered from the early part of
December until nearly the beginning
OF March with severe skin eruptions
on my face and scalp. At first /
treated it as a trivial matter. But
after having used CASTLE soap, medi-
Gated washrags, cold cream, vanish
ing cream, ETC., found no relief what
ever. After that diagnosed my case
as eczema, because of its dry, scaly
appearance. The itching and burning
OF my scalp became SO intense that
thought I should go mad, having not
slept regularly for months past, only
at intervals, waking up now and then
because of the burning and itching Of
my skin. Having read different tes-
timonials Of cures by the Cuticura
Remedies, decided to purchase box
of Cuticura Ointment and a cake of
Cuticura Soap. After using them for
q few days I recognized marked
change in my condition. Z bought
about two boxes of Cuticura Ointment
and five cakes Of Cuticura Soap in all,

Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatiyes 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
dossart all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in 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 20 feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
Wien this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biiousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who

now being sold for the reason that they

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 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.
