Mi.o-na Costs You Nothing If it Does
Not Cure.

To the Editor of the Leader:
The unusual statements in the ad-
vertisements we have pubSshei for
Mi-ona have led some people to ask
II we really mean all that we said in
regard TO this preparation. The best
reply we can make is to publish over
our signature a statement Of what
Mi-o-na will do and the unusual terms
under which We are selling IL.
Nine-tenths OF ell sickness is
caused by some kind Of indigestion
AS Mio-na cures indigestion in any
form and restores healthy action to
the whole digestive tract it will cure
nearly every case of poor health
2, The dyspeptio Is ordinarily thin
and emaclated, with sallow complex
ion. snnlSen cheeks and habby flesh.
Mi-ona will cure dyspepsia and those
who use il viii find every part Of the
body filling out with firm. solid flesh
so that all the outlines become plump
and pleasing
3. The strongest evidence thar we
can give OF our faith in Mio-na Is oui
personal agreement TO refund the
money II It does not give satisfaction
Although We have sold hundreds ol
packages undor this assurance. ye
less than one out OF every hundret
has asked to have the money returned
We are always ready 20 refund th'
cost OF Mi.o.na, Soc, 10 anyone Who Il
not satisfied with u on return Of th'

SLANG NAMES FOR COINS.
Odd Terms Used in Different Coun-
tries to Designate Certain
Pieces of Money.

Probably every country possesses Pc
culiar or slang" terms in everyday use
for its coins. For instance, nickel"
very we'll defines the American five-cent
piece of currency, and "red cent is
equally expressive, says London Tit
Bits.
In Scotland man who "flies kites" is
probably not worth DOODLE" which is
an imaginary coin slightly differing
from the same term in America.
In England the same person would
not be worth mag" A kite" is an
accommodation bill; mag" is the
smallest copper coin of the realm.
On the racecourse one hears talk Of
betting pony" which is 925. or win
ming monkey" which is 9500 The
latter, however, is somewhat rare.
A ''quid" only has reference to tobacco
when the term is used by sailors. Among
landsmen it means Ell. Small gam
blers play for bulls" and ''half-bulls"
in other words, five shillings and
half-crowns. Collectors occasionally
come across "joeys," or fourpenny-
pieces, and hanson cab driver will ex-
pect you to tip him with a tanner"
which is what he calls a sixpence, while
the common appellation Of shilling is
a "bob."
