Condemned Persons Drugseo Before
Their Execution.


They were discussing the horrors
that attended on the hanging of Mary
Rogers.
But she suffered little" said a ply
sician. Every murderer who goes TO
the gallows or the electric chair is
drugged TO the point almost of uncon-
sciousness. Otherwise the death SEN
tence, unendurably hideous, would be
abolished"
He frowned and continued:
mo man alone in a cell with the
knowledge that on a certain day, at a
certain hour, he is to be killed can
keep his nerve.
He stops eating, he stops sleeping;
in little while he begins to shrek.
Then the drugging begins. With
opium or with alcohol he is lulled into
a torpor. On the day OF his death he
is so heavily dosed as to be, to all
practical intents and purposes, uncon-
sclous.
Condemned murderers as the last
day approaches are so wild with ter
ror that it takes an incredible lot OF
dosing TO compose them. j have seen
men untouched by three grains Of
morphia, and pint OF whisky would
have no more effect on them than a
shell Of beer.

Tells How IL MAY be

The stomach is the handspring of
life. When 1t Is strong and acts per-
fectly, then the whole system is right,
assimilation is perfect, and body and
brain are thoroughly nourished.
Mi-o-na Is pleasant remedy to use,
and benefit Is seen almost from the
first days treatment. 1t restores the
torpid glands and stimulates the nat
ural digestive secretions. 1t checks
fermentation, stops germ growth,
soothes inflammation, and cures all
troubles, such as headaches, back
aches, rheumatic pains, furred tongue,
sleeplessness, nervousness, and gener.
al debility, which are caused by i'm
perfect digestion.
1t is the only remedy that is SO uni.
formly successful in the cure of stom.
ach disease that W. II. Smith g. Co.
are willing to give guarantee with
every so cent box of Mi.o-pa tablets
that the remedy will cost nothing un.
less it cures. They have SO much
faith in Mi-o-na that they are willing
to take all the risk.
