THE HUMAN STOMACH
Many and Grevous Abuses to Which
it is Subjected.

\ persons attitude toward the
world, toward life, toward humanity
is largely determined by the condition
of his stomach.
Many and srievous are the abuses to
which the average person subjects his
stomach The wonder is not that 50
smarting under provocatiOn, do not
organize strike.
But when the stomach. long abused
does turn. there is something doing in
paying penalties and squaring ac-
counts. Life is made miserable by
sick headaches. nervousness. distress
after eating. s!eeplessness. coated
tongue, spots before the eyes, general
debility and the many other
symptoms of indigestion.
Something more is needed than the
ordinary digestive tablets which haze
been used SO recklessly in the past
The weakened muscles of the stomach
need strengthening. and the whole
digestive system must be toned up and
stimulated before the stomach trouble
can be cured.
Nothing else will so quickly do this
as Mi-o-na stomach tablets. The
secret of its success lies in the fact
that Mi-o-na is prepared especially tC
strengthen the digestive organs. lis
use for a few days puts the whole
digestive system in such shape that II
can care for all the food that is eaten
without pain or distress.
