THE STOMACH is DEAD
THE MAN STILL LIVES

But every sensible person VIII deny
that whisky or morphine ever proved
Of permanent benefit to mankind
People who suffer from sour stomach,
fermentation Of food. distress after eat
ing. and indigestion. and seek relief in
large chunks of artificial digesters, are
killing their stomachs by inaction Just
as surely as the victim OF morphine Is
deadening and injuring beyond repair
every nerve in his body.
What the stomach Of every sufferer
from indigestion needs IS a good pre-
scr1ption that viii build up the stomach,
put strength, energy, and elasticity into
IL. and make It sturdy enough to digest
q hearty meal without artificial aid
The best prescription for indigestion
ever written is sold by druggists every
where. and by Henry Evans, and is
rigidly guaranteed to build up the ston-
ach and cure indigestion, or money
back.
This prescription is named Mona,
and is sold in small tablet form In large
boxes, for only 80 cents. Remember the
name Mona stomach tablets. They
never fail. They contain ingredients
that give quick relief (other than strong
digesters), but they are compounded for
the purpose of making the stor>ach
strong al energetic enough to do its
work without the aid OF harmful drugs

Thousands Of StOmaehs in America
Are Dying for Want Of
Exercise.

Thousands? yes. hundreds Of thous-
ands Of people throughout America are
taking the slow death 20 the stomach
treatment daily.
They are numbering their own stom-
ach, the best friend they have, and in
their sublime ignorance they think they
are cleverly putting aside the laws OF
nature.
This is no sensational statement; It is
a startling fact, the truth OF which any
honorable physician will no. deny.
These thousands of people are swal-
lowing daily huge quantities Of pepsln
and other strong digesters, made espe-
cialIy TO digest the food in the stomach
without any aid at all from the digestive
membrane of the stomach
In other words. they are taking away
from the stomach the work that nature
intended It should do, and are also re-
fusing It the only chance for exercise It
has.
No one denies that pepsin and other
strong digesters give temporary relief TO
distressed stOmachs
No one denies that whisky temporarily
relieves brain fag. Neither does any
one deny that morphine will temporarily
cause pain TO vanish.
