NOTABLE MEDICAL DISCOVERY
Of Special Value to Many Here in
MarshaIItown.

MarShaIItoWn.
One of the most notable discoveries
and one that undoubtedly appeals
more than anything else to many peo-
pie here in Marshalltown is the COM
bination Of stomach remedies in the
Mi-o-na treatment. This prescription
has worked wonders, and there is now
no excuse for anyone suffering with
indigestion or weak stomach.
1t acts specifically upon the muscles
of the stomach and bowels, strength
ening and stimulating them SO that
they readily take care Of the food that
is eaten. 1t also increases the flow
Of gastric juices, thus getting from
the food the nourishment that is nee
essary for health and energy.
The symptoms of indigestion are
numerous, such as distress after eat
ing, fatulence, heart burn, sick head
aches, dizziness and irritabilfty. These
are all dispelled by a few doses Of
Mi-o-na when the trouble is recent,
but just as surely in long standing and
chronic cases if the treatment is fol-
lowed for reasonable length Of time.
So positive are the good effects fol-
lowing the use of Mi-o-na that the
remedy is sold by Mcbride & Will I'M
der an absolute guarantee to refund
the money if it should fail to cure.

The officers Of the short course have
agreed TO give this amount for prizes,

The plans for the contests have not

been suggested. The declaiming con-
test is to be open only to the graded
schools Of the county. including all Of
those OF this city as one, SO that the
local schools would have but one rep

Rhodes, Albion, Gilman. Liscomb and
LeGrand would have one each also,
making, a total of eight for this con-
test.
The spelling bee would be open only
to the children of the rural schools, and
it will probably be arranged so that

each school, or perhaps each township
would arrange to have a preliminary
contest to select a representative. 1t
Is expected the details of the contests
will he taken up by Miss Hostetler
