First Known as Triumph Wheueo
the Word 'sTrumps" 10 Derived.

f
Whist was first called Triumph q
name which was afterward corrupted
into trump" The eighteenth century
saw whist In its primitive form, tho
whole object of the game being to win
tricks by leading high cards or bx
trumping.
Then came the era of Hoyle, wh1ot
may be said to have lasted from 1720
to 1850, and taught players to think
not only of their own hands but Of
the other hands also, and TO take ad,
vantage of the positions Of the caTdb
in them. Hoyle also taught that
trumps might be more probably en-
ployed than in simple trumping ana
showed that they might be used "a
disarm the adversary and to obtain
secondary advantage In triek-mski1H
by other suits of less apparent power.
It was not until 1860 that the phiior
sophical era can be said to have b
gun, and the origin of the new movep
ment was a knot of young men %
Cambridge. England, known as tbs
Little Whist school. This body kept
records OF It's games, but no ode
thought Of making the data known IN
til 1881. Conference in the system "a
play was stiil wanting. and this vas
supplied in 1854 with DR.. Poles essay

EXPRESSIVE NAME
FOR INDIGESTION
Woodbridge & Purdy Have Simple
Remedy That is Guaranteed to
Cure the Trouble.

No one word better expresses The
condition Of the sufferer from weak
stomach or indigestion than ''mis-
cry" The stomach is weak and can
not digest the food, so that there Ia
no appetite, there are pains and grip
ing in the stomach and bowels, the
head and back ache, and the misery
goes to every organ.
Strengthen the stomach and the
digestive system by the use OF MILO
ma. This is the only stomach reme-
dy known that gives relief by
strengthening the stomach and d.
gestive organs. 1t is this principle
that makes 1t a certain cure for in
digestion. Other medicines may
give temporary relief by helping d.
gest the food, but they do not
strengthen the stomach, and that or
gan gets weaker and weaker all the
time.
Woodbridge s. Purdy, the reliable re-
tall drug firm, have so much conf
dence in this remarkable remedy that
they guarantee a cure, or the money
will be refunded. Mi-o-na costs but
so cents a box. Ask to see the strong
guarantee given with every 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
you eat, but Mona used before
eating strengthens the stomach,
soothes and heals all irritation and
Inflammation, enriches the blood and
puts the stomach in such a healthy
condition that 1t will take care Of the
food itself and there will be no pain
and suffering.
