of the reasons that have made hi ! name

This distribution of samples shows
more conclusively than anything else
possibly could the great merit of this
remedy. If Mi-o-na did not do all that
is claimed for it the distribution of
samples would be the most foolish way
the proprietors could take to advertise
it.
Many people prefer to buy so cent
box instead of trying a sample as Bow
ditch & Webster agree to refund the
money if the remedy does not give per-
feet satisfaction, so that the purchaser
runs no risk whatever.
Go early today to Bowditch & Web
ster's store with your coupon, for while
the supply of samples is large yet the
