NOTABLE MEDICAL DISCOVERY
OF Special Value to Many Here in
Augusta.

The progress made in medicine dur
ing the last few years has been az d
whole general rather than specific
One of the most notable discoveries
and one that undoubtedly appeals
| more than anything else to many
people here in Augusta is the combina-
ton of stomach remedies in the
Mi-o-na treatment. This prescription
has worked wonders, and there is now
no excuse for anyone suffering with
indigestion or weak stomach
1t acts specifically upon the muscles
of the stomach and bowels. strength
ening and stimulating them 50 that
they readily take care of the food that
is eaten. 1t also increases the flow of
gastric juices. thus getting from the
food the nourishmont that is neccs-
sary for health and energy.
The symptoms of indigestion are
numerous. such as distress after eat
ing. tlatulence, heartburn, sick head
aches, dizziness and irritabillty
These are all dispclcd by n few doses
of Mi-o-na when the trouble is recent
but Just surely in long standing and
chronic cases if the treatment is
followed for a reasonable length of
time.
SO positive are the good effects
following the use of Mi-o-na that the
remedy is sold by Bowditch, Webster
& ca. under an absolute guarantee to
refund the money if it should fail to
cure. With an offer like this none can
afford to suffer long from indigestion
or stomach troubles
Do not think because Of the quick
benefits derived from the use of
Mi-O-na that it is merely a temporary
agent. 1t is 4 remedy that cures by
making over the weak stomach into a
strong one.
