WHY THEY PUSH II.
=. .. Lille s. co. Recommend and
Push Mto-na, the Dyspepsia
Remedy.

IT'S pleasure to sell medicine
when our customers come in after
wards and tell us hom much good it
has done them" said f. b. Lille & Co.
the popular druggists TO a Leader
man, "and that is why we like to sell
and recommend Mi-o-na, like dyspep-
sia remedy
we have 50 much faith In this
Article that we are going to guarantee
Il in the future, and win return the
money TO any purchaser Of Mi-o-na
whom it ioes not cure. That may
seem rash, but our customers have
said so many good words in its favor
that we do not expect to have many
packages returned.
Anyone who has dyspepsia, whose
food does not digest well, who has to
take thought as to what he can eat,
and when, can leave 50 cents deposit
at our store and take home box Of
Mi-o-na, and if the remedy does not
regulate his digestion and cure his
dyspepsia, ne can withdraw his money
on returning the empty box.
This shows great faith in the merit
Of Mi-ona. II is really most IN
usual medicine and the rapid increase
in sales since f. B. Lille introduced
it in Guthrie shows that it does all
that it claims to do cures dyspepsia,
regulates digestion and enables those
who use It 20 eat just what they want
and when they want with no fear of
trouble.
