BIG VICTORY
Wilmington People Pleased
and Benefited

Preparedness makes for ones hone
d. Our aim is 10 be abreast Of the
times. Perhaps the greatest advance
that we have made has been i'm secur-
ing the agency for Munyon's Remedies
Their curative qualities need no rec
of ours. There is scarce
ly section Of our town where some
cured or benefited person does not
csidc. 10 has been said that ProGes-
sOr Munyon has cured more people by
his remedies and has published more
testimonials TO that 'effect than any
living man. VIC are just little proud
OF securing the agency for this town
for the reason that we know by the
testimony Of our nelghbors that they
not only cure but that they are abso-
lutely harmless.
Take his rheumatism Remedy. 70
is probably regarded, and rightly so.
that it brings relief quicker and drives
out all rheumatic pains more thor
oughly than any medical preparation
yet discovered. We unqualihedly rec
ommend his 3-X rheumatism Remedy
as being most efllcacious in old
chronic cases. We want every person
that is suffering with. lame back, stifl
or swollen joints, sharp, shooting
rheumatic pains in any part Of the
body to get a bottle Of the 3-X Rheu-
matism Remedy.
Professor Munyon writes us: "Teli
your neighbors TO try this, tell all OF
the doubters and skeptics, as we'll as
the doctors, to give this remedy a fair
trial, and If It does not bring relief
and effect a cure that / am TO return
the money" In all our years OF sell
ing these Munyon Remedies we have
not yet returned one dollar for the rea-
son that people come in with praise
on their tongue instead OF complain
ing.
There is one hundred and sixty
doses OF the Ok tablets, and the reg
ular price is 500 a bottle, but we have
cut the price to 80 cents.
Marrowbone, Professor Munyon's
latest discovery, is having a large sale.
and we ask any persons who is weak
or nervous and wants more strength,
more snap. vigor and vitality TO give
this new tonic trial, The Marrow
