Not Cure, Say Mcbride o. WIN.
Mi-o-na. the remarkable fiesh-form-
ing food and cure for dyspepsia, has
won fame by the unusual way in which
1t is sold. 1t is the only remedy offered
for the cure of dyspepsia, which costs
the user absolutely nothing unless IL
cures.
Mcbride & Will, the popular drug
gtsts, are selling a great many pack
ages of Mi-o-na and with every box is
gwen their personal guarantee to re-
fund the money if Mi-o-na does not
give satisfaction, you to be your own
Judge as to whether the remedy helps
or not.
Mi-o-na is an unusual combination;
1t is a flesh forming GOOD combined
with agents that regulate the digestive
organs and remove irritation. conges-
ton and inflammation from the stom-
ach. liver and intestines. 1t enables
those organs to extract from the food
all that goes to make good, rich blood,
firm muscles, steady nerves and sound
body. 1t does not contain any pepsin,
pancreatin or Of Ter drugs, that never
effect a cure and rarely give even tenn
porary relief.
Mi-o-na puts the digestive system in
to proper working order. gives health,
strength and good flesh. and is the nat
ural cure for indigestion. Even in
chronic cases. where life is one long
drawn out pain. this remedy will effect
a Cure. 1t is the simplest and most re-
liable Of all remedies. Just one tablet
before or after meals and you can eat
q hearty meal without distress.
If Mi-o-na does not do all that is
claimed for 1t Mcbride & Will will
cheerfnlly refund Your money

 Escapes of electricity are annoying the telegraph operators on the Dawson Vancouver line a great deal. The line, even when not down, Is in a weakened condition because of the many places of leakage, and the liuemen are kept busy on many of the sections patroling for their divisions. Fallen trees occasion much of the loss and slackened wires made so by virtue of the washing out Of poles by swollen streams are common source of trouble.
