Disordered stomachs are responsible
for nearly all bodily Ills Where

and enriched. which sets the liver and
kidneys and all the vital organs into
active and healthful operation Where
the stomach is strong the blood is
strong; where the blood is strong the
nerves are strong; where the nerves
are strong the kidneys, heart and
lungs and liver are strong. Many peo-
pie die from starvation; that Is. they
starve tho blool, they starve the nerves
and the general tissues Of the whole
body. Not that people do not I'LL their
stomachs with nourishing food but
because what they do put into the
stomach does not properly digest. does
not properly assimilate."
That's why people write to say that
Ironized Paw-Paw has cured them of
nervousness.
That's why among our record OF
cures we find many insomnia cases
cured by Ironized Paw-Paw.
That's why they tell us that Iron
lied Paw-Paw has cured them Of
rheumatism.
That's why we hear OF kidney and
liver troubles that have been cured
by Ironized Paw-Paw.
That's why we get so many letters
saying that Ironized Paw-Paw has
cured Catarrh.
All these ailments probably had
their origin In some form of stomach
trouble. Paw-Paw cured and cleansed
tho stomach. purified the blood, toned
up the nerves. and the sufferers soon
found that the other real or fancied
