be well must be hopeful.
That the lower bowel is responsible for
most bodily ills is now being recognized
by the leading physicians throughout the
world There Is no further excuse for be-
being bilious, for having headaches, for
suffering with dyspepsia or indigestion, for
putting up with a sluggish or lazy liver,
for poisoning the blood a result of con-
stipation. for Munyon's Paw Paw Laxative
Pills are positively correcting all these all
ments. They assist in digesting everything
that is put into the stomach. They stim.
ulate the liver into activity. They start
the secretions OF the stomach, which carry
off all the bile and poisonous matters
through the bowels. They strengthen the
lower bowel, so that 1t empties itself nat
urally, without the aid of cathartics or
foreign substances.

PYTHON'S BROKEN JAW SET.

Professor Woodbridge, Of the Royal
Veterinary college, recently performed
a remarkable operation at the London
ZOO upon a reticulated python. The
python, which is the largest in captiv-
ity. suffered the fracture of its jaw
when making hearty meal, and as
it was impossible for the reptile to
live many days in such condition an
immediate operation was decided up
on.
The setting Of broken bones in the
Jaws of a python measuring nine yards
in length was ticklish task, such a
creature being easily capable of crush
ing to death any many coming within
it's coils. To obviate this danger,
when the serpent was resting, its flank
was covered with stout boards, leaving
a gap just large enough to permit Of
the passage Of the head.
When the pythons head appeared
through the aperture several men se-
cured a firm hold of 1t, and when the
frantic writings Of the maddened rep
tile had ceased the operator placed the
broken bones In position, and bound
