A NARROW ESCAPE.

Mrs R. z. Hawkins and son, Stan ley, had narrow escape from a seri ous accident, last week Tuesday, while driving to the depot at Southford. As they were near MT Davis store at the corner at Southford Center their horse shied at something, throwing them both out. Mrs Hawkins landed be- tween the front wheel and the body of the wagon ana was so caught she could not move for few minutes. Her son, Stanley, in his fall hit his moth CTS body and slid over the wheels to the ground and in less time than it takes to tell it was at the horses head and held the horse until his mother could free herself from her prison, which she was able to do in few minutes. She was quite badly bruised and shaken up but escaped without any broken bones. Stanley escaped with just little shaking up and is to be commended for his presence of mind in getting hold of the horses head so quickly and holding it until his mother was out of danger. It was a narrow escape from what might have been a serious accident.

Guaranteed Stomach Remedy
E. 6. Fowler win Refund Money if
 Ntt-o-nn Fails to Cure.

You may ask why is Is that Mi-o-na stomach tablets are sold by E. G. Tow Ter under a guarantee to refund the money unless they cure, when no other treatment for stomach troubles Is sold in this manner.
 The answer is simple and conciu- siye,
 Other medicines for stomach troubles merely digest the food, while Mi-o-na strengthens the whole digestive sys- tenn so that it soon becomes able to care for all the food that is eaten.
 If you do not use your arm or leg Tor a month. the muscles become fiabby and weak and you have to resort to artificial help. It is the same way with tha stomach muscles. If they are not used. they become so weak that 1t is necessary to continue using digestive with the food you eat
 On the other hand. when you. use Mi-o-na, your stomach soon grows so strong that you can give up the use of medicine.
 M-o-na costs Soc a box and does more real good than dozen boxes of ordinary digestive tablets. The. proof of this is shown in the fact that a guarantee, absolute. and unqualified. is given by F. G. Fowler with every box of Mi-o-na. 1O-2l-SL
