INV TO GAIN HEALTHY FLESH
n,ueglst r. w. Buchanan Advises
Use of Mi-o-na.

uh,la thinuess may not be disease,
..itis in reality a condition that needs
.,,enfion. Under the nourishing power
- Mi o.na, healthy, natural flesh will
soon be attained.
This remarkable flesh forming food
.,ronothens the system generally, aids
I'D regulates digestion, and builds up
,bs deshy tissues, 80 that good, sound,
natn.al plumpness results.
An ounce of flesh is better than a
.o,nd of theory. F. w. Buchanan believes
that the best possible demonstration OF
the flesh. forming powers of Mi-o-na is to
have il tried by his customers. and to
indnce them to use it, he offers to pay
t,r the Mi o ma in case it does not give
sotisfaction. No stronger proof than
This can be given of his faith in it. He
has seen hundreds who were weak, thin
and scrawny, become plump, robust and
s,rong, able to digest any kind of food,
soely through the use of Mi ma.
If YOU are thin or in poor health, take
advantage of Druggist r w. Buchanan
offer You run no risk whatever, and
the chances are SO out of 100 that you
will notice gain in weight after using
Mona for a week or ten days.
Delays are dangerous when the health
ia in question; here is the opportunity
for YOU to get we'll and fat at nominal
cost without the slightest risk of the
medicine costing anything If it does not
give the desired increase in weight and
Ssln in health. Begin the use of MILO
ma today.

An Inconvenient Piano.

Leopold de Meyer of Dresden. a brill
liant and popular pianist of his day.
was once summoned to play before the
sultan at Constandnople. Going thlth-
err, he borrowed a grand piano from
one of the Austrian secretaries of lega-
ton and had it set up In large recep-
ton room at the palace. There he
awaited the coming of the sultan, but
when that intelligent monarch entered
the room he started back in alarm and
demanded of his attendants what that
monster was standing there on three
legs.
Explanations followed but were in
vain. The legs had to be taken off and
the body of the instrument laid fiat on
the floor and Leopold de Meyer, squat
ting cross legged on mat, went
through his programme az best he
could In that awkward attitude and
without pedals. But the commander of
the faithful was delighted, and when
the last piece was played gave the art
LIST over $1,000 as "backsheesh."

1t was one of the daily customs of
Sir Walter Besant to take walk

entrance to the park sat an old beggar
woman whose woebegone appearance
caused Sir Walter to stop one day and
drop copper penny into her out

One day, however the old woman

"Guv' me siller or nawthink. The idea
of a gent like you givin' poor old wo-

She came close to him and waved her
arms threateningly. Sir Walter started
to go, but she grabbed the lapel of his
coat and screamed: "Guv me siller, you
rascally rogue! GUY me what you owe

This drew a crowd, and the novelist
to save himself threw a handful Of
coin among them and during the
scramble escaped.
He forgot all about the old hag till
one day, CHANGING to enter the same

TO PALE, THIN PEOPLE
Druggist r. w. Buchanan offers to
Pay for Ml-o-na, II 1t Does Not
Make Thin Folks Fat.

Pale, thin people are simply suffering
from want of nourishment. They may
eat enough, but the food is not properly
digested, and does them no good.
Mi-o-na, the remarkable transforming
food, should be used by all who are pale,
thin and week 1t mingles with the
food and aids assimilation, so that when
taken for a short time, Nature will soon
assert her normal powers, digestion will
be perfect, and the food that is eaten
will give strength and good flesh.
Weigh yourself before you begin the
use of Mi o-na, and you will notice a
steady gain. Milo ma is not cod liver
oil or similar nauseating connection
but scientific, flesh forming food, that
restores the thin and scrawny to their
proper weight, fills the weak and debili-
tated with vigor and vitality.
The woman who longs for rosy cheeks
and the plumpness of beauty should use
Mi-o-na. The man who is dyspeptic and
wants to be strong and well, will gain
health and good flesh in the same way,
Such remarkable results have followed
the use of Mi.o-na that F. W. Bucknam
is willing to pay for the remedy himself,
if it does not give the desired results.
He makes this offer generally and wants
all who are thin, weak or dyspeptic to
get a box of Mi-o.na from him on these
terms, he to pay for it, If it does not
give perfect satisfaction.
Begin its use today, and see how
quickly you will improve in weight and
health.
