EXPRESSIVE NAME FOR INDIGESTION.
f. J. jenkins Has Simple Remedy That
Is Guaranteed TO Cure

condition Of the sufferer from weak
stomach or indigestion than "mis-
cry" The stomach is weak and
cannot digest the food, SO that there
Is no appetite, therelare pains and
gripping in the stomach aud bowels,
the head and back ache, and tine
misery goes 30 every organ.
Strengthen the stomach aud the
digestive system by the use of Milo
ma. This Is the only stomach remedy
known that gives relief by strength
ening the stomach and digestive or
gans. 10 is this principle that makes
it certain cure for indigestion.
Other medicines may give temporary
relief by helping digest the food, but
they do not strengthen the stomach,
and that organ gets weaker and
weaker all the time.
T.. J. Jenkins, the reliable retail
druggist, has So much confidence IN
this remarkable remedy that he
guarantees a cure, or the money will
be refunded. Mi-o-ua costs but 90
cents "A box. Ask 10 see the strong
guarantee given with each box.
Mi-o-na is In tablet form and
should be taken before each meal.
Other remedies for stomach troubles
and indigestion are taken after the
meal, and decompose the good food

and heals all irritation and iutlam-
enriches the blood, and puts
the stomach In such "a healthy con-
dition that 10 will take care Of the
food itself aud there will be no pain
