DO NOT BE A BURDEN.

It is a sin to deprive oneself of en-
joyment in life and become a burden
to others through Indigestion.
The backaches. headaches distress
after eating, loss OF appetite, gulping

natural. Mi-o-na stomach tablets used
for a few days before meals will so
strengthen the digestive organs that
you can eat anything you want with
out fear of distress or resulting sick
ness.

in the merits OF Mi-o-na that they sell
