STRENUOUS LIFE
Results in Stomach Troubles and
Physical Breakdown-Wooldridge
q Purdy Offer Simple Remedy.

The strenuous life Of modern times
forces people TO rush through their
meals hastily, hurrying from the Ia
Bile in the mad rush after the al
mighty dollar.
The result is incomplete digestion
inflammation OF the walls Of the
stomach, and lack Of secretion Of the
gastric Juices, ending In chronic stom-
ach trouble and nervous breakdown
How much better il would be to
eat more slowly, cure the stomach
trouble with Mi.o-na, and soon regain
perfect health. The headaches. sieed
l~essnes, nervous troubles. pain after
eating specks before the eyes, back
aches, melancholy and gloomy fore
bodlng would be soon overcome and
perfect health and strength would b
restored.
So reliable is Mi-o-na IN curing all
forms OF stomach weakness and trou
hles that Woodbridge q Purdy give a
signed guarantee that the remedy will
cost nothing unless IL cures. Each
box OF Mi-o-na sells for 50 cents, anc
is Invaluable to anyone who suffer-
with indigestion, nervous or veal
