refused either to accept the sword or

sequence the weapon was offered for

MAKES ASTONISHING CURES.
Mi-o-na Tablets Cure Dyspepsia BY
Promptly Removing the Cause,
or Money Back.

Dyspepsia cannot be cured by TAX
ing a digester, such as pepsin, because
pepsin simply digests your food arti-
ficially, and not all of the food either,
for it has no effect at all on starchy
food, such as potatoes, rice, oatmeal,
bread, etc.
There is just one way to cure dys-
pepsia and stomach disorders, trivial
or serious, and that is to tone up or
put energy into the stomach walls, so
that they will be able to properly mix
or churn the food
