BEWARE Of SUMMER GERMS
Will Cause Sickness Unless Stomach is Strengthened
With Mi-o-na

If the stomach is weak so that food
does not readily digest in it, the food
will become a sour, Shiny, ferment-
ing mass in the digestive organs, the
ideal condition for germs to cause
bowel trouble, diarrhoea, or other
summer illness.
The we'll known Mi-o-na will make
the whole digestive system healthy,
clean and sweet. so that food cannot
ferment, and any disease germs which
may enter the stomach will be de-
stroyed.
