WORSE THAN ONIONS.
Bad Breath From Indigestion Cannot
be Overcome With Perfumes.

All OF us suffer from bad breath
sometimes our own, but oftener that
Of our friends.
Nine-tenths Of this bad breath
comes from some stomach trouble,
and cannot be overcome by brea Oh
perfumes or any other palliative
measures.
If you occasionally have bad
breath; If there is heartburn, flatu-
lence and acid gulpings Of undigested
food; If the stomach burns or smarts.
If there is sloeplessness, nervousness.
headaches or any other Of the many
symptoms Of indigestion, use Mi-o-na
stomach tablets and get well.
Mi-O-na is not a mere digestive nor
physic, but tonic remedy that
strengthens the muscles Of the stom-
ach and bowels so that the flow OF
gastric juices is increased, and the
food is digested naturally and does not
stay in the stomach to fermenc and
poison the breath.
j. F. w. DeLorme has seen so many
cures made by Mi-o-na stomach tab
lets that he gives a guarantee with
every 50-cent box that the money will
be refunded If the remedy fails to give
satisfaction. He cakes the whole risk,
and box Of Mi-o-na will not cost YOU
a penny unless it cures you.
