SENSIBLE REVIVAL
Doctrine That il Being Preached by
Best People of Wilmington.

There are all kinds Of REVEALS, reli-
gIOus. moral. and temperance, but to-
day the Chief interest seems to be in a
revival for good health, and il seems
to be the Mi-O-na doctrine that has the
most adhcrcntS in Wilmington. Wipe
out Indigestion and tOmac troubles
by using Mi-O-na tablets and most Of
the misery and i'll health would be
blOttcd out of existence.
Indigestion and stomach weakness
cause headache, backache, nervous
ness, debility, SlceDleSSneSs, pains in
the side AMI limbs. poor appetite and
q general unhealthy state. Take n
little Mi-O-na tablet before each meal
for Il few days and you will soon find
that life is filed with joy and health,
that eating is Il pleasure and food does
not cause distress, and that your di-
gcStivc organs have become so
strengthened that you can almost be
credited with the digestion Of an Os-
trich.
A large box Of Mi-O-na stomach tab
lets is sold for soc by r. r. Bellamy
and it is so successful and reliable in
curing, indigestion and all stomach
troubles, with the exception of can
Ger Of the stomach, that he sells it UNI
der an absolute guarantee that the
money will be refunded unless it does
all that is claimed for it.
