DIRECT UPON STOMACH
Possibility Of Administering Local
Treatment to That Organ.

After a series of experiments cover
ing a period of many years, a we'll
known specialist in stomach disorders
discovered that to administer local
treatment to the stomach was 4 possi-
bility.
AS a result Of his study OF the
diseases Of digestion and nutrition ne
prepared a prescription called Ml-o-ha
stomach tablets that acts directly upon
the stomach and bowels, increasing
their strength and power to disest
whatever food is eaten and quickly
restoring health to these important
organs.
Headaches, giddiness, palpitations,
heart-bu sleeplessness, fiatulence,
bad taste in the mouth, irritability,
drowsiness. coated tongue and full
feeling after eating, are but a few Of
the many distressing results Of indi-
gestion. Mi-o-na never fails to dispel
all these troubles, and all disorders Of
I, the stomach soon disappear when the
remedy is used.
| If you ever have the slightest
symptom of indigestion or weak
stomach, check its progress at once
with Mi-o-na- The remedy is
SCleIitiilc, YET Slinpie, ana Is 1ully
guaranteed to be harmless under serial
No. 141S of the United States Pure
Food and Drugs Law
/ Bowditch, Webster & Co believe SO
strongly in the curative powers OF
Mi-o-na in all diseases of the digestive
organs that they give a guarantee with
every 50-cent box to refund the money
if the remedy does not do all that is
claimed for it. They take all the risk
and you lose nothing but your indiges-
ton when you buy Mi-o-na, and tha,
is a good loss.
