OUNCE OF sTRYCHNINE
SWALLOWED BY TUsCUMBIA MAN
 AND PROVES FATAL.
Thomas H. Hastings Had Been on a Spree, and without Employment and Despondenf, Takes His
 Own Life.

Tuscumbia, May y1-(Special.) )-Thos H. Hastings, well known citizen, died at the home of his cousin, R. H.. Camp bell, in Tuscumbia, at o'clock this morning, after swallowing an ounce Of strychnfne, taken with suicidal intent.

Sale Rapidly Increasing.
Mi-O-na, the Dyspepsia Remedy, Has Cured Hundreds of E. G. FOwIer's Customers.

One of the greatest successes in the sale of a medicine has been achieved by Mi-o-na, the dyspepsia remedy, and it's sale is increasing so rapidly that E. G. Fowler, the popular druggist, has hard work to keep a stock on hand.
 It is very popular with well known bankers, ministers, lawyers and others whose business or profession keeps them closely confined. while those who have brought on indigestion through irregular eating, worry or other causes, have found a cure in this reliable remedy
 Mi-o-na is in the form of small tab lets and Is sold in a metal box espe- cially designed for convenience in car rying the medicine in the pocket or purse. It is pleasant to take; costs but soc, gives quick relief and makes lasting cures.
 This remedy has been so uniformly successful and made so many remark able cures that Mir. Fowler will in flu ture sell Mi-o-na under a positive guar anatee to refund the money if it should not cure. No other dyspepsia medicine ever had a large enough percentage of cure so that 1t could be sold in this manner A guarantee like this speaks volumes for the merit of the remedy.
 There Is no time like the present to do thing that ought to be done. If any one has dyspepsia, today Is the best time to begin curing 1t. (5)
