and conversation, qualify themselves to
be witnesses for or against our conten-
ton; no one but these six persons to be
allowed to talk to her and not more than
six additional persons, selected In the
same way, to be permitted to be pres.

WOMEN PAY MORE.
Why Insurance Companies Discrimi
nate Against the Gentle Sex.

Medical examiners of insurance
companies say that the reason n
woman pays more for the privilege of
insurance than man, is from the fact
that women more readily fall victims
to indigestion and stomach troubles
and the fatal ailments that spring
from these causes.
All persons, they say. who have a
weakened digestive system and suffer
from sick headache, dizzy spells. dis
trcss after eating, specks before the
eyes, bloating, nervousness, sleepless-
ness, and the many other symptoms
of Indigestion, soon lower the tone of
the whole system and are most sus-
ceptible to a fatal illness.
For curative power in all stomach
troubles, nothing else is as safe yet
effective, nothing else can be thor
oughly relied upon to relieve all trou-
bles from Indigestion az Mi-o-na. 1t
is unlike any remedy heretofore known
and is really one of the valuable dis
coyeries i'm modern medical science.
1t is not the acute attacks that in
fluence the insurance examiners alone,
but the constant feelings of weakness,
headaches, indigestion and stomach
troubles-these things, physicians say,
kill more people than many more seri-
Gus diseases.
To escape this condition Of Ill
health, to enjoy ones food and yet
never suffer with indigestion, Il person
should use Mi-o-na stomach tablets.
They are not mere digestive tablet.
but strengthen and restore to natural
action the stomach and bowels ana
effect a complete cure in even the
worst form of stomach troubles.
