Ironized Paw-Paw. Never has such a demand been created within a few months. The people have been so ac customed to be dosed with tablets that it was a relief when they turned to the old fashioned, honest Liquid Remedy, compounded on the tried tonic of beef, iron and wine, used by mil lions of weak and dyspeptic nervous people with the greatest success of the last fifty years. Thousands of testimonials have been received from grateful patrons who will; never use anything but Ironized Paw-Paw in future. They have come to understand that a good Liquid Tonic supersedes the hard Indigesti ble Tablet as "Electric Light" does the old fashioned "tallow dip." Here is one of the many letters we are re ceiving daily, almost hourly: Dear Sir: I have been suffering from indiges tion, liver and constipation troubles, could not get a refreshing sleep. Had tried everything recommended. Tab lets I could never take, as they lay. too heavy on my stomach and did not assimilate fast enough, so I tried your Liquid Remedy Ironized Paw-Paw can truthfully say that 3 bottles have made me forget I ever was ill.
