GUARANTEED STOMACH REMEDY.
RelnhartS Pharmacy Refund Money If
Mi-O-na Fails TO Cure.

You may ask why Remnants Phar-
macy is able to guarantee to refund
the money unless Mi-o-na Stomach
Tablets cure when no other remedy
for stomach troubles is sold in this
manner.
The reason for this is that ordinary
dyspepsia tablets merely digest the
food, while Mi-o-na builds up aud
strengthens the digestive system so
that It soon begins to digest the food
itself without pain or distress.
If the stomach is only given rest
by using a digestive, the muscles soon
become weak, and it Is necessary to
continue taking digestive tablet at
ter every meal. On the other hand,
Mi-o-na used before eating, strength
ems the stomach so that you will soon
be well enough to give(up the use of
medicine.
Mi-o.na costs but SOC a box, and
makes positive and complete cures.
The best proof of its merits is the
guarantee to refund the money if it
does not cure that Remnants Phar;
macy give with every box. .,

THE Jefferson county school book
board will meet in the court house at
Charles Town on Friday and Saturday
of this week, when books for use in
our public schools are to be adopted.
We understand that strenuous efforts
are being made by importunate agents
to have certain changes made in the
school books. We hope that the
board will steadfastly resist such at
tempts and that no change will be
made unless it can be very clearly
shown that it is most decidedly bene-
fetal. 1t will cost the people a great
deal of money to change any of the
books, and this burden should not be
placed upon them simply to please
the book agents. Our board has
heretofore been very conservative, and
we have no doubt that they will be
careful now, as heretofore. to protect
the patrons of the schools.
