WATCH YOUR TONGUE
III Eurred and Coated, it is a Warn
ing of Trouble to Come.

When it is the morning after the
might before, you do not have to look
at your tongue to know that the stom-
aeh is upset, the head is aching with a
dull rhythm, and that all the world
looks black and dreary.
1t may have been lobster Newburgh,
Welsh rarebit or some other tasty dish
that looked much better at night than
the morning after. There is no need to
look at the tongue thermometer then
for symptoms of trouble. You natur-
ally GO to yoar box of Mi-o-na stomach
tablets, and with one of the little re-
levers bring Joy and gladness to the
physical system. The real time to
watch the tongue is all of the time. If
it is coated with white fur, or pos
sible with bark trimmings, even though
the stomach does not tell you by the
acute pains Of indigestion that it needs
help, yet the coating shows that you
are getting into bad way and that
there is need of Mi-o.na.
Mi-o-na is SO sure, so reliable in it's
curative action upon the stomach that

United States

Congressman Geo. S. Legare, of South

Der of the Committee on Patents in the
United States House of Representatives
at Washington. He is hard worker,
and a valuable man in national affairs,
and it is general concession among
prominent statemen who know him that
a good and noble man is saved by his
complete recovery from consumption.
In speaking of his remarkable re-
covery, Mr.. Legare says: "a little
over four years ago my physician, after
consultation and after having my
sputum examined several times by
Bacteriologist, advised me that had
contracted consumption, and he begun
treating me for this disease. With
careful treatment struggled along
very we'll until little more than a
year ago, when became greatly weak

business and give up all work.

Mr.. Robert Dildine of Ulster St,
Waverly, N. Y, tells the story of his
return to health, strength and normal
weight as no one else can tell it, He
says: Some time ago I got a box OF
DR.. A. w. Chase's Nerve Pills and when
I say they have done me good I can
back up that statement by an increase
IN weight form 1923 to IA pounds in
sixty days. When I began to take the
medicine was all run down and it is
wonder I kept at work at all-could
not sleep-appetite poor and when at
work If I stopped over to pick up any,
thing would be so dizzy for few mo-
ments l could scarcely realize anything
and finally I had attacks of severe
pain around the region of my heart.
This condition lasted for a long time
and nothing gave me more than tenn
porary relief until / used DR.. A. w.

be the true Nerve Force builder and it
Is as result Of their use alone that
