PLAN TO Fight DISEASE.
Druggists Will Battle Stomach Troubles
In Great Bend.

The increase of stomach trouble
in Great Bend has led Hooper Drug
Company to take effective measure to
combat the disease.
They have the local agency for
Mi o-na stomach tablets, and in order
to induce people suffering with weak
stomach or indigestion to use the re-
medy, offer to supply it with the dis
tinct understanding that money will
be refunded in every case where it
does not cure.
Mi.o-na is not a mere digestive,
but an absolute strengthened and
builder up of the whole digestive
tract. If you suffer with headaches.
glddl0ess, paIpltatlon, bad taste in
mouth, nervousness, coated tongue,
distress after eating; use Mic na and
see how quickly these SYMPTOMS of a
weak stomach will disappear.
The remedy strengthens the mus
cular walls of the stomach and in.
creases the flow of gastric juices so
that nourishment is extracted from
the food and the refuse is expelled
without the aid of purgative or Taxa.
tive medicines.
Remember that Hooper Drug Com.
pany gives guarantee to refund the
money unless it cures. They take
all the risk, and there is no danger OF
YOUR losing anything except indiges-
ton when you buy a 50 cent box of
Mona.

the company. Ray Tullis We
have known ever since he was a
small boy and we can vouch for
him as a young man of fine chara-

That our American forests abound in
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly attested
by scores Of the most eminent medical
writers and teachers. Even the UNTIL

the latter to continue investigations until
