How to RecognIxe and Cure II.

lnsidious Nature of the Disease.
How to Recognize and Cure II.
Ulcer of the stomach may exist for
years without very marked symptoms,
excepting those caused by indigestion.
1t is due to an Inflammation which
affects the membrane of the stomach so
that it is eaten away by the gastric
juices.
In good health the stomach resists the
action of the gastric juices. but when
weakened, the membrane is badly
nourished and the digestive fluids act
upon it as well as upon the food. keeping
up until perforation of the stomach
occurs. In advanced cases of ulcer of
the stomach there is much discomfort
after eating, with constant gnawing
sensation between meals, pain from the
pit of the stomach back to the shoulder
blade.
At the first symptoms of indigestion,
treatment should at once be started with
Mi-o-na. This is scientific remedy
dudpteu speClllcdllN 10 ONE purpose, lHe
cure of stomach troubles. 1t is So uni
formly successful that w. II. Sheldon
gives a signed guarantee with every 80
cent box that the money will be refunded
if it does not cure.
Mi-O-na is not a patent or secret
remedy, but is combination of the
purest and most reliable Of remedies for
strengthening the digestive organs and
building up the whole system. Use it
for few days and there is no reason
why you should not be able to eat any
food you like at anN time without fear
of distress.
