viii Refund Y0ur noney.

Among ali the remedies in Hood
& Hartin's popular drug store there
are few that they are willing to sell
on a guarantee to refund the money
if they do not cure. Mi-o-na, the
famous dyspepsia remedy, has made
so many cures among their custom
ers that Hood d Martin say, IF
this remedy does not cure you, bring
back the empty box and we will
cheerfully return your money"
Anyone who has dyspepsia, indi-
gestion, headaches, dizzy feeling, or
liver troubles, should take advan-
rage of this chance to be well with
out any risk of spending their money
to no purpose. Mi-o-na will cure (;
will regulate the digestion will ena-
BILE anyone to eat what he wants. II
IL does not do all this, the medicine
will not cost you a cent.
Hood IL Martin have sold a great
many boxes of Mi-o-na in the last
few weeks and have yet to receive
the first complaint from any Gus
toner. Such a record is simply
marvellous and speaks vol mes for
the merit OF the remedy.
1T is easy enough to fill column
with the symptoms affecting those
who have dyspepsia, but there is no
need Of describing their condition.
What they want is cure. And
they have it in Mi-o-na.
Do not suffer a day longer with
disordered digestion. II Mona

1t does not, you have Hood d Nj ar
