PROTECT YOURSELF
AGAINST GERMS
People With Weak Stomaehs Most
Liable to Catch Disease.


When the stomach and digestive
organs are weak, the food does not
digest, and there is a sour. Shiny. fer
menting mass, making it an ideal spot
for the disease germs to multiply. The
only way. to protect yourself against
disease germs is to strengthen the
stomach and digestive organs, and Mi
o-na is the only agent, so far as is
known, that will accomplish this.
The ordinary medicine that is taken
for indigestion and stomach troubles
is advertised to act upon the food alone,
and hence can give no more than tenn
porary relief. Mi-o-na is a certain cure
i'm all cases Of stomach troubles, except
ing cancer, because it enables the stom-
ach and digestive organs TO act in the
way Nature intended they should.
Drugs cannot digest the fold; they
simply decompose it.
II YOU suffer with distress after eat
ing. pains in the head. chest, sides and
back. belching OF gases and undigested
food. bad taste I'm the mouth. dizziness,
or vertigo. heartburn. variable appetite.
sick headaches. spots before the eyes
and have n general feeling of despond-
ency. weakness. and debility you should
at once strengthen the stomach and di-
gestive system by the use of A-i-o-na.
There is no liquid, no alcohol, no spoon
| full doses with Mi-o-na. Just one
simple tablet out Of fifty cent box
before eating. and your stomach will
soon become so strong and healthy that
you viii be germ proof. Ask Miller
drug Company TO show you the guar
lantee under which 1t sells Mi-o-na;
costs nothing unless It cures,
