flesh and today are ruddy and vigor-
Gus. with perfect digestion and good
health, solely due to the use of this
reliable remedy.
There is no longer any need of any
ones suffering or making their
friends suffer because of stomach
troubles or distressing thinnesS.
NIi-o-na can be relied upon to regu-
late and strengthen the digestive or
gans and to build up good, solid, beau
tiful flesh.
Il. III. Thomas takes all the risk by
selling this preparation under guar
antee to return the money if it does
not give satisfaction. He will sign an
agreement to this effect. and take
your word as To whether Mi-o-na
cures or not.
Headaches, all forms of indigestion,
speclls before the eyes, dizzy feeling,
ringing in the ears, all forms of liver

People with good blood possess strong,
steady nerves and are blest with good
appetites and digestion, and enjoy
sound, refreshing sleep. If we could
always maintain the purity of the
blood then we might enjoy perpetual
health, but it becomes infected and
poisoned and most of the ills that aff1ict
humanity and undermine the constitu-
ton are caused by an impoverished
or polluted condition of this vital fluid.
When the blood is diseased the skin
loses its healthy appearance, and the
complexion, its freshness and beauty
and becomes red and rough and full of
pimples and splotches. Itching, scaly
eruptions, blackheads, boils and rashes
break out upon the body when the
blood is too poor or too thin and acid,
and is not supplying proper nourish-
ment to the system. Debility, poor
appetite, bad digestion, restless sleep
and nervousness more often come from
sluggish, impure blood than any other
cause. To build up the blood, restore
and nutritious again is the only rationa

If the people only attended to the
regular movement of their bowels as
closely as they do to their business
