According to writer In Health, hon.
ey is valuable medicine and has
many uses. 1T is excellent In most
lung and throat affections and is often
used with great benefit in place of cod
liver OIL Occasionally there il q per-
son with whom it does not agree, but
most people can learn to use it with
beneficial results. Children who have
natural appetites generally prefer it to
butter. Honey is a laxative and seda-
tive. and in diseases of the bladder and
kidneys 1t is an excellent remedy.
1t has much the same effect as wine
or stimulants. without their injurious
effects. and is unequaled in mead and
harvest drinks. AS an external appli-
cation 1t is irritating when clear, but
soothing when diluted. In many places
1t is much appreciated as remedy for
Group and colds. In preserving fruit
the fOrmic acid it contains makes q
better preservative than sugar sirup,
and it is also used in cooking and con.
fections. Honey does not injure the

who have made their plans to visit the
state sometime in August whether or
not there is celebration. Their pill
grimages to their native state are be-
coming annual events and trips, and as
they multiply, do not seem to dampen
the enthusiasm of these Bostonians for
another visit to the old state. The
Mortified News makes some suggestions
concerning the value of the old home
week as follows:
"In the first place its hosptable fea
ture is calculated to awaken a new in
terest among many who have perhaps
almost forgotten their native state;
while to all loyal sons and daughters the
action of our citizens in setting aside a
week especially for visitors is sure to be
appreciated. And when the old boys
and girls come home and are given a
royal, though not necessarily an eX-
pensive welcome, they will see much of
the beauty of the state which they never
knew before or had forgotten existed
here, and when they return to their
adopted state their friends, neighbors
and business associates will hear new
theme of conversation for many days
all about Vermont.

REAL SENSIBLE IDEA.
Druggist sheldon Says Mi-o-na's Plan is the
Only Fair One.


w. II. Sheldon, the popular druggist,
has been in the drug business long
enough to have his own opinion.of the
best way of selling medicines.
He says the plan adopted by M-o-na,
the great dyspepsia cure, is the fairest he
has ever heard of.
He doesn't believe that medicine
ought to be paid for unless it does the
user some good.
And Mona is sold under positive
guarantee to cure dyspepsia OF to refund
the money. You simply leave 80 cents
on deposit with Druggist Sheldon, and if
after YOU have used the box of Mi-o-na
YOU decide that it has done you no good
all you have to do is to tell him SO and
he will return your money.
Thousands of people have been cured
of dyspepsia by using this remarkable
remedy. 1t is not simply food diges
ter; it is medicine that puts all of the
digestive organs into normal condition
and gives ruddy, glowing vigorous
health. A change for the better will b'
seen from the first few doses of Mi-o-na
and its continued use will soon give thu
power to eat anything at any time anC
not suffer distress afterwards.
Mona is the only dyspepsia remed,
upon the market that is sold under
positive guarantee to refund the mone'
if it does not cure This is the stronges
proof that can be offered as to the meri
of the medicine.
