Science Has Now Found the True
Way to Cure INDIGESTION.

Way to Cure Indigestion.
few years ago, when sufferer
from Indigestion went to a stomach
specialist, the result was a rigid diet
list that almost meant starvation.
But the first thing to do in the case
Of indigestion or stomach weakness is
to strengthen the muscular walls OF
the stomach and intestines so that
they will care for the food that is
eaten. In no other way can this be
done as well as by taking a Mio-na
tablet before each meal. This restores
strength to the stomach muscles and
stimulates the pouring out of gastric
juices. so that the food is digested
readily and it's nourishment retained
in the system to build up energy and
vitality.
Do not think the sick headache.
heartburn, bad taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, spots before the eyes,
sleeplessness and the many other
symptoms that are the direct result of
indigestion will go away of themselves.
The stomach must be built up and
strengthened by Mi-o-na before you
can be well and strong, free from suf-
fering and distress.
The guarantee that Mcbride & Will
give with every 50-cent box of
Mi-o-na, to refund the money unless
the remedy cures, shows their conf
dence in the treatment.
