WE WILL BUY 1T BACK"
Bowditch e. Webster's and Percy w.
Means Remarkable Way Of Selling
MI.o-na, the Flesh Forming Food.

Just ask druggists Bowditch &
Webster and Percy w. Means what
they think of Mi-o-na. 1t will not
take you long to ask them, but it will
tar" them some time to tell you all the
good things they know of this
remarkable flesh forming food.
1t is natural for people to doubt. but
when Druggists Bowditch & Webster
ard Percy w. Means frankly offer
TO buy back any empty boxes
when Mi-O-na fails to restore
health and increase the weight, and
return the full amount of money paid,
1t silences the doubters and they can
not help but feel that Mi-o-na is an
unusual and remarkable preparation.
Used for little while. this flesh form
ing food will show that it actually fur
niShes real nourishment, regulates
digestion and increases weight.
Weigh yourself and then begin it's
use and the scales will soon show
the good Mi-o-na is doing. 1t gives
strength and tone to the digestive
organs. Makes rich. red blood and
puts the whole system in proper phy
steal condition. If it did not do what
IS claimed for it. Druggists Bowditch &
Webster and Percy w. Means could
not afford to sell It the way they do
agreeing to refund the cost, SOC, in case
does not give complete satisfaction.
Every one who is thin, weak and
out OF health. should begin the use of
Mi-o-na on these terms. for it costs
absolutely nothing unless it makes you
well.

the amount of $l6,66S.O4, making the
fund SS4,455.94. 1t was further claimed
by the receiver for Maine and the
counsel employed by this department
that, when the common funds of this
association came into the hands of our
court, or under it's control, it had the
equitable and legal right to appro-
pirate enough of them to make the
guaranty fund deposited in the State
Treasury equal the amount required by
the statute. After more or less
negotiation the matter was finally
adjusted upon this basis, and the
approval of the courts, in both this
State and New Hampshire obtained,
and $6115.S1 of the general assets was
applied to make up the deficiency in
that fund. This adjustment gives the
shareholders in Maine the full benefit
of the 20 per cent dividend paid
September 10, 1898, as a preference on
account of the guaranty fund, and, as
a matter of fact, gives them that
amount more than shareholders i'm the
home state of the association,
New Hampshire.
The balance of the common fund
collected by the receiver here, amount
ing to $G1 .4G005. together with the ST.
1861 forfeited to the association as
explained above, have been turned
over to the general receiver for New
Hampshire, to be added to the gen.
eral funds of the association to be dis :
tributed under order Of the court OF
that state. The only thing remaining
unsettled in connection with the affairs
n q in hi Sfnf icS hn
small sum deposited with the court as
before mentioned.
A dividend of 1928 per cent has al
ready been ordered and paid to claim
ants upon all claims that were pre-
scented directly to the general receiver
for New Hampshire. All proofs,
claims and papers formerly presented
and held in this State by our ancillary
receiver. relating to rights of share
holders residing here, have been turned
over to the receiver for New Hamp-
shire. aDd the claimants residing !.
this State are now entitled to partici-
pate in Il distribution of these common
funds. Under this arrangement they
are entitled to a present dividend Of
16 % per cent upon the balance due
them after deductinS the amount of
the preference, or the 20 per cent al
ready received. that is to say they are
entitled to a dividend of 16 % per cent
upon a basis of so per cent of the
original amount due. David W.
TagSart General Receiver, has assured
US that he will pay this
dividend as soon as it can
be made up and distributed. The
information obtained indicates that
there will be further dividend before
the affairs of the association are
finally closed, the amount of which it
is impossible to estimate, although it
must be quite small.
The results finally obtained in
settling the affairs of this institution
are much more favorable to it's patrons
Within this State than at one time
seemed possible. Had the guaranty
fund dc posted in our treasury gone
into the common funds of the asso-
citation. and been distributed generally.

Principal Cook Of the COny High
school, has been giving a great deal of
his attention to the drilling of the stu
dents of his school, the past week,
what to do in case of fire. He has
personally shown every scholar every
exit in the building, and has practiccd
the fire drill So that at the present time
every scholar in the building knows
just what to do in case of fire in the
building. 1t will be appreciated by the
parents of the children as well as the
peoplfof Augusta. The fire drill is a
very good thing in a case of fire and
undoubtedly saves a great many lives
in this country every year. Many of
the largest factories and mills in the
different states are practicinG it to pre-
vent loss of life in case fire should
start during business hours.

A CONTINUAL DRAG.
The Exact Term.

Only those who have experienced the
pain and suffering incident to Piles or
HemOrrhoidS can know what a drag
and handicap this complaint is; how
even the mildest forms hinder the
patient from putting forth his or her
best efforts, while those afflicted with
bleeding and protruding piles realize
all the tortures of the Inqusition.
1t may surprise the reader to know
that there is sure, permanent cure
for this disease. as the following
testimony from Mr.. f. A. Leonard, an
American resident in the City of
Mexico will show:
For twenty years l suffered with
piles. sometimes being confined to my
bed for days at a time. The relief re-
ceived from doctors both in the United
States and Mexico. was temporary, and
more frequently 1 received no relief:
other medicines had no effect. 1t was
a continual drag. I was fit for moth
ing. 1 finally tried Pyramid Pile Cure;
first application was magical; 1 could
not believe I was awake next morning;
experienced relief that l had not
known for twenty years. One box
cured me; but not believing myself
cured. bought two more. but they are
still in my trunk. I first used the
remedy in July 1902; have had no oc-
casion to use it since. The world
should know of Pyramid Pile Cure. I
have no words to express it's merits"
Pyramid Pile Cure is in the form of
a suppository. which is admitted by all
physicians to be the best preparation
for treating piles; it comes in direct
contact with the painful tumors and
does its work quickly and painlessly.
1t is sold by druggists. generally. for
SO cents package. and there is no
other remedy Just as good.'

The roundup of dodgers at the police
station. Wednesday night. amounted to
four souls. They resented the in
situation that they were tramps, each
claiming to have calling and to be
looking for work in that particular
line. One was a weaver, another was
a tinker, the third was a shoe maker,
and the last was an ice man. The
weaver was favorably impressed with
the town, and thought that perhaps
after he had enjoyed good breakfast,
and a birds eye view of the city, from
Malta hill. he might induce himself to
locate here. The tinker and the
cobbler had had genteel sufficiency
of the rigors of Maine winter, and
were headed southwark to the land
where the sweet magnolias bloom.
and the nightingale is singing etc.
The ice mans destination was not en-
numbered with any such romantic
associations. All that he wanted was
TO find a place where the crystal cakes
were being taken from the placid
waters of the Kennebec, and to get
a job on the field, the, elevator, or
slowing away in the house-any-
thing that would give him three
square meals and place to
sleep until the migratory fever should
tackle him again.
