SALE RAPIDLY INCREASING.
MiOna, The Dyspepsia Remedy, Has
Cured Hundreds Of Druggist
GOkay'S1Iji1n3B.

One of the greatest successes in the
sale of a medicine has been achieved
by Mona, the dyspepsia remedy, and
ITS sale is increasing so rapidly that
Druggist Gokay the popular druggist,
has hard work to keep stock on band.
1t 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 cure in this reliable rem
ely.
Mona is in the form Of small tablets
and is sold in a metal box especially
designed for convenience in carrying
the medicine in the pocket or purse.
1t is pleasant to take; costs but 80
cents, gives quick relief and makes
lasting cures.
This medicine has been so uniform
ly successful and made so many re-
niarkable cures that Druggist Gokay
will in future sell Mona undera pos
tive guarantee to refund the money if
it does not cure. No other dyspepsia
medicine ever had large enough per-
centage Of cure so that il 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 it.
