DRUG co. GUARANTEE
MI-0-hk.
Cures Dyspepsia Even More Quickly Now
Than at Other Seasons.

The summer is the best season in
the whole year for the treatment and
cure of stomach troubles. The out
door life, the common use of fruits
and vegetables, and the lessened
strain upon the digestive organs all
help the cure.
Just take a Mi-o-na tablet after
each meal and complete the cure.
This remedy mingles with the food
you eat and aids digestion, it soothes
and heals any inflammation that may
be present in the lining of the stom-
ach, gives tone and strength to the
digestive organs, builds up the nerv-
Gus system, and soon restores COM
plete health.
Hooper Drug Co. have so much
confidence in the curative powers of
Mi-o-na that they guarantee or refund
its cost in case it does not effect a
cure. Two weeks treatment costs
but SOC. Use it regularly for a
month and if you are not more than
satisfied with the results, take back
the two empty boxes to Hooper Drug
Co. and they will refund your money
without question. A guarantee like
this shows the confidence they have
| In the remedy.
