I know that it will cure Dyspepsia! I know that it will cure Nervousness. I know that it will cure Sleeplessness. I know that it will give strength to the weak. I know it by the testimony of hundreds of people that it has cured. I know it so surely and believe in it so completely that I have put my reputation and my fortune behind it. I want the public to know it as I know it, and believe in it as I believe in it. I value your confidence and respect more than I value your money. I hadj therefore, determined to give away sample bottles of this remedy that a thorough test may he made. I earnestly .ask every doctor, every chemist, every s?ientist.io carefully investigate the merits of this medicine and then honestly tell the public the truth about it. I want every dyspeptic to try Paw-Paw. No matter what rem? edies you may have taken or what doctors you have consulted ; no matter how many years you have suffered, get a large bottle and see how speedily you will be benefited and how quickly you will be cured. N ' I \vant every iritable person, every nervous person, every weak person, every person who cannot sleep to get a bottle of Paw-Paw. Take it according to directions and notice how quickly it will soothe and calm the nerves; how soon it will give vigor and strength to the whole system, and enable you to sleep restfully and soundly. Don't take Whiskey! Don't take beer! Don't take narcotics, which are worse than either of them. Remember Paw-Paw ex. hilaratcs, but does not intoxicate.
