any longer and then they went after
me- Vidaver further said: You have

think that they don't know at the at
torncy generals office what is going

VOC are going to open new bank, and
I tell you right now that unless you
make good and pay me what you

Grossman. Mr.. Jackson said that he
could not conceive of Vidaver telling a
man that he could influence the attor-

CARE OF THE STOMACH.
Indigestion May Be Overcome BY
Simple Treatment.

It is useless to expect medicine to
cure you of indigestion by merely
acting upon the food you eat.
In the treatment of stomach troubles,
the first thing to do Is to get the
mucous membrane of the stomach and
intestines into a healthy condition.
Next in Importance comes
strengthening and stimulation of the
muscles of the stomach and bowels.
Both results can be best accom-
plished by the use of Mona stomach
tablets, combination of healing
remedies for the raw and irritated
mucous membrane and strengtheners
for the stomach muscles.
Mi-o-na is not mere digestive
remedy, but is an absolute cure for all
stomach disorders Except cancer).
and is so reliable in its action that
Bowditch, Webster & Co.. sell it under
an absolute guarantee to refund the
money unless it cures. This shows
their faith in the curative properties
of Mi-o-na, and every sufferer with
stomach troubles should get a 50-cent
box and test its virtue on this guaran-
tee, that it will cost nothing unless it
cures.
If you suffer with indigestion, dizzy
spells, distress after eating, head
aches, sleeplessness and the many
other symptoms of bad digestion and
sluggishness of the digestive organs
that keep people from enjoying them
selves, strengthen the whole digestive
system with Mi-o-na, and you will
soon find that both stomach and
bowels do their work as they should,
and you do not have to go on a diet
