EAT WHAT YOU WANT.
Science Has Now Found the True
WAY to Cure Indigestion.

The first thing to do in the case IF
indigestion or stomach weakness is
to strengthen the muscular walls of
the intestines, so that they will care
for the food that is eaten. In no
other way can this be done as well
as by taking a Mona tablet before
each meal. This restores strength TO
the stomach muscles and stimulates
the pouring out of gastric juices, so
that the food digests readily and It's
nourishment is retained in the sys-
tenn to build up energy and vitality
Use Mi-o-na and you will have no
more sick headache, heartburn bad
taste in the mouth, coated tongue
spots before the eyes, sleeplessness
and the many other symptoms that
are the direct result Of indigestion.
]. G. Wannamaker Mfg. Co. gives
with every 5O-cent box Of Mi-o-na a
guarantee to refund the money unless
the remedy cures.

I Would not have trusted the bee with

I would not have hidden in brake and

I would not have bristled the hedge with
thorns
Nor poisoned the berries red;
T would not have fashioned the bullocks

Nor riddled the night with dread.

Nor put out the moon so quickly:
