Men and women everywhere say
Paw Paw Tonic relieves them of
nervousness, insomnia, indigestion,
depression, rheumatism, heartburn,
kidney and liver troubles and run
down conditions. These ailments
more often than not have their origin
in the stomach. Disordered stom-
achs, doctors everywhere agree, are
responsible for most bodily ills.
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, lungs, and liver are strong.
Munyon's Paw Paw Tonic is for
creating just such physical strength.
1t is probably the one thing that can
do YOU worlds of good. Try i'll
1t may give you a new lease on life.
1t may give you sound health, freeing
you from any one of the ills mentioned
above. Go to the drug store and
ask for Munyon's Paw Paw Tonic.
If the Paw Paw Man is in your city,
ask him to let you try it. It costs
only 81 bottle. Only 81 for health
that many would pay thousands of
dollars for! Begin taking Paw Paw

GIVEN ONLY YEAR TO LIVE,
VETERAN TAKES PAW PAW
AND REGAINS HEALTH
Allentown Man, Nervous, Sick and Failing,
Gains Ia Lbs and Gets Back on His Feet

Herbert A. Snyder, 1912 Turner
St., Allentown, Pa, went to war
healthy man. He came back gassed,
nervous, rundown and depressed.
His condition became worse and
worse. Soon he despaired of ever
being well again. Doctors doubted
whether he would live whole year!
Today Mr.. Snyder is changed
man. He has regained his health.
He has added fourteen pounds to his
weight. His appetite is unusually
good. His nervousness and depres-
sion are gone. He sleeps well and
has plenty of energy and ambition.
What caused this wonderful
change? What brought back the
Joy Of living to this war veteran, cast
away his dependency and gave him
health and happiness? Ask Mr..
Snyder and he will tell you he owes
the change to the marvellous effects
of Munyon's Paw Paw Tonic, the
national strength-buiIder.

to any one who is rundown" says
Mr.. Snyder, ''or for any one who is
nervous, depressed, sleepless and
