THE STOMACH IN WINTER.
Hearty Food Puts Extra Strain on
This Important Organ.

Winter is little more than half
over. and the results OF its hearty
food are shown in the variable appe-
tite. nausea, gnawing at the pit OF
the stomach, heartburn, sallow skin,
furred tongue, headache, backache,
and sleeplessness. The stomach has
been overworked, the nervous system
is unstrung. the blood il In bad CON
dition, the digestive organs are tired
out.
IT is at this season of the year that
Mi-o.n ma. the only remedy known that
gives strength to the stomach and di-
eestive organs, is of especial value.
Mi-o-na is not a hit-or miss cure.
but is an unusual combination OF
remedies that makes it infallible in
restoring health to the stomach and
digestive system. 1t Overcomes any
acid condition that may be present
in the stomach and iDtestines, ,soOthes
and heals the irritated mucous mem
brane. has stimulating effect on the
solar.plexus, and combines peculiar
nroperties that strengthen the nerves
Of the stomach and puts the whole
digestive system in so healthy, clean
and sweet a state that fermentation
of the food cannot exist, any disease
germs in the stomach will be de
stroved. and the digestive system
will be so strengthened that it will
extract from the food all the elements
that make solid bone, firm muscle,
and pure blood. 1t is a guaranteed
cure for all diseases Of the stomach,
excepting cancer.
The guarantee on Mi-o-na is given
nv one of our best known druggists
X. N. Goolrick, who agrees to refund
the price, 80 cents, should Mi-o-na not
give perfect satisfaction. Ask hin
to show you the guarantee he gives
