Dyspepsia.

Dyspepsia.
Your money back if you want it is the
way in which Mr.. Sheldon, the popular
druggist, is selling Mona, the great

This is an unusual plan, but Mi-o-na
has so much merit and is so almost in
variably successful in curing all forms
of indigestion that he runs but little risk
in selling under a guarantee of this kind.
DO not be miserable or make your
friends miserable with your dyspepsia.
Mona will cure you. If it does not
tell Mr.. Sheldon that you want your
money back and he will cheerfully re-
fund it.
A change for the better will be seen
from the first few doses. of Mi-o-na and
its continued use will soon give perfect
digestion and enjoyment of food.
Mona has been so uniformly success
full and made so many remarkable cures
that every box is sold under positive
guarantee to refund the money if it does
not cure. What fairer proposition could
be made.
Mr.. Sheldon gives his personal guaran-
tee of "money back if you want it" with
every box of Mi-o-na that he sells. A
guarantee like this speaks volumes fol-
the merit of the remedy.
