PLAN TO FIGHT DISEASE
Druggists Will Battle Stomach
Troubles in Augusta.

The increase of stomach troubles in
Augusta has led Bowditch, Webster &
Co. to take effective measures to COM
bat 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
remedy. offer to supply it with the
distinct 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, giddiness, palpi-
tation. bad taste in the mouth.
nervousness, coated tongue, distress
after eating. use Mo-o-na and see how
quickly these symptoms of weak
stomach will disappear.
The remedy strengthens the muscular
walls of the stomach and increases the
flow of gastric juices so that nourish-
ment is extracted from the food and
the refuse is expelled without the aid
of purgative or laxative medicines.
Strengthen the stomach and make it
do it's own work by using Mi-o-na.
Do not fuss and nurse it along by
digestive tablets that do no lasting
good. Make a complete cure of your
stomach troubles and replace weak
ness with strength by using Mi-o-na.
Remember that Bowditch, Webster
& Co, give a guarantee to refund the
money unless it cures. They take all
the risk, and there is no danger of
you losing anything except indigestion
when you buy a 50-cent box OF
Mi-O-na.

After Loan Is Made Not Good
In Face Of Second Mortgage.

Law Court So Decides In Case OF
nayhurst vs.. NORM ct al.

Bangor, Me-, May 10.-The law court
has handed down the following re-
script in the case Of John Hayhurst vs.
Michael NORM and j. A. Letourneau,
trustee in bankruptcy. The opinion
was written by Justice w. p White
house:
Kennebec case. John Hayhurst vs..
Michael Norm and j. A. Letourneau,
trustee in bankruptcy. Rescript by
Whitehouse, ].
In a writ of entry brought for the
purpose of foreclosing a mortgage of
real estate given by the Defendant
NORM to the plaintiff Oct. 3, 1899, to
secure the payment of $500 for which
the mortgagor gave a note payable at
the rate of 5000 year, the following
facts appear:
Oct. 3, 1908, the amount due on the
mortgage note was $3.50 and on the
following month, Nov. 8, 1903. the
mortgagor gave to one Marshall Il
second mortgage to secure the pay
ment of $500 excepting in the covenant
against membranes the first mort
gage to the plaintiff and expressly
stating that the amount then due
thereon was $3.50. The note for $500 Sc
cured by the second mortgage to Mar
shall remains unpaid and proceeding
for the foreclosure of that mortgage
are pending Oct. 3. 1905, the defendant,
NORM, obtained from the plaintiff a
loan of $500 and gave him a note pay
able on demand, and Nov. g. 1905, OBJ
tanned from him another loan of $3.50
for which he gave a note payable in
one year a few days after the last
mentioned loan WaSs obtained, an
agreement was made between the par
ties that these last named loans
amounting to $3.50 should be secured
By mortgage in question to the plain
tiff. At the time of this agreement the
plaintiff had actual notice of the sec
ond mortgage to Marshall.
March 5, 1906. the defendant, NORM.
was adjudicated a bankrupt and the
defendant. Letourneau, appears as
trustee in bankruptcy of Morin's es-
tate.
The first mortgage to the plaintiff
was given to secure particular debt
evidenced by note of 5000. 1t con-
tains no stipulation respecting any
other debt or further advances and it
does not appear that at the time the
mortgage was given there was any
oral agreement in regard to such debt
or advances. Held:
First. That while it is competent in
answer to bill in equity to redeem
a mortgage, for the defendant to show
that it would be inequtable to allow
the plaintiff to do so upon the payment
of the amount apparently due thereon
when it appears that further advances
have in fact been made in pursuance
and upon the faith of a valid oral
agreement that the mortgage should
remain as security for such further adj
vances, such an oral agreement cannot
be set up against subsequent mort
gage or attaching creditor. nor can it
be invoked against the mortgagor him
self or his assignee in an action at law
brought by the mortgage to fureclose
the mortgage.
Second That there. was no new or
valuable consideration for the oral
agreement made "a few days" after the
new loans Of Oct 8 and Nov 6, 1868.
