AUGUSTA POISON FACTORIES.
You Will Be Surprised to Learn How
Many There Are.

Did YOU ever feel stupid and dull
after eating hearty dinner?
When food is retained too long in
the stomach, because of stomach weak
ness, the poison factory works over
time and there is giddiness, confusion
Of thought. dependency, heartburn,
sleeplessness, nervous trouble and
other forms of Indigestion.
1t is high time to look about for
quick relief when you have dizzy spells
after eating.
The general use of M-o-na stomach
tablets puts within the reach of every
one a reliable and positive cure for all
stomach weakness. Mi-o-na quickly
cures the worst case of indigestion,
and the pain and distress which is
often felt after meals will soon disap-
pear, such is the wonderful curative
power of this little tablet.
Mi-o-na acts upon entirely different
principles from any of the other
remedies that have been used in
stomach trouble 1t is taken before
meals, and has a specific strengthening
action upon the muscles of the
stomach, increasing the flow of diges-
tive juices and making the stomach
get to work and digest easily and
naturally the food which is eaten.
Bowditch, Webster & Co. have seen
so many cures made by Mio-na that
they give a guarantee with every so
cent box that the remedy costs nothing
unless it cures. Try Mi-o-na on this
guarantee of theirs, as they take all the
risk and the remedy will not cost a
cent unless it cures.

who have done strong service for the
cause of temperance in years past
loyal to its cause. 1t will certainly

differences Of opinion among those
who believe in common end, viz, the
maintenance of the prohibitory prin-
ciple in the life of our State, and who
stand ready to work at all times, and
under all circumstances, to that end.
The Journal believes that old
fashioned resubmission is dead The
referendum will provide Il much fair
er way for securing popular express
sion upon the question of retaining o.
abandoning the prohibitory principles;
but so small is the popular interest in
this matter at the present time that it
is doubtful if 10000 voters can be
found who would ask for it. If there
be that number in Maine who desire
a public expression upon this question
they were certainly not in evidence

In 1852 two rabbits were imported
into Australia from England. These
arrivals in that continent now number
billions, and are a great pest Five
rabbits eat as much grass as one sheep.
From 1873 to 1883 the Australian gov
ernment paid out $5,SSS,015 as bounty
for the noXious animals, at the rate of
25 cents each, and from 1888 to 1886
$2,200000 for the same purpose. For
scme years the rabbits died by millions
owing to the drought, but since 1904,
with the rainy seasons increasing, they
have again come into notice and bid

a HUMOROUS PATIENT.

Surgery has much to gain from
spinal cocainization, says Robert
Jones, a Liverpool surgeon, in the
Medical Press. He advocates this
process in cases where patients can
not or will not take other anaesthetics.
The resulting insensibility to pain
lasts more than an hour, but the pa
tent often develops abnormal loquac-
ity.
Mr.. Jones tells of an operation in
which he cocainized the spine. 1t was
that of big man, who as soon as he
had taken two or three whiffs of
chloroform jumped off the operating
table and scampered away. This hap
pened twice, and Mr.. Jones tried CO.
cainization, injecting cocaine into the
cerebro-spinal fluid. BY this means a
troublesome operation of cutting out
bones in the leg was safely carried

MARRIAGE a Detail of Art.

It was Roswell Field who wrote in
1904 in the Chicago Evening Post:
"Mrs. Leslie Carter has been favoring
the public with some sprightly re-
marks concerning the stage and matri.
mony, and has come to the conclusion
that marriage does not go well with
the artistic triumph. She believes
that to be really great actress a wo-
man must experience all the joys and
sorrows of life,' and she intimates that
the best way to get this experience is
through matrimony. In other words,
we suppose, marriage is merely a pare
of the theatrical education, to be TAX
en- like everything else. in its turn.
We are very glad to have this subject
so clearly elucidated by Mrs. Carter
who presumably speaks for the pro
fession, and who illuminates a ques-
ton which has caused much comment
Now we are beginning to understand
why our friends in the profession
glide so gayly in and out of marriage.
