A POSITIVE CURE
FOR INDIGESTION

If you have indigestion your food
ferments in the stomach and bowels. 1t
does more; it decays, and the nutritious
matter which should go to make new
blood decays with it, and this eads to
an impoverished condition of the blood,
to biliousness. ~constipa-
ton, sick headache, bad breath which
disgusts your friends, and other dis
agreeable and unpleasant conditions.
And all this trouble is caused by the
food that doesn't digest, but ferments
and oftimes rots in the STOMACH.
And fermentation is caused by the
stomach not being strong enough and
energetic enough to thoroughly mix the
food with the digestive juices.
MI-O-NA is responsible for tens of
thousands of cures. In fact, it is such
a positive cure for Indigestion and all
stomach troubles that it is guaranteed
by e. r. Petty to cure or money pack,
The price of a large box of Mi-o-na tab
let's is so cents, and they are sure TO
promptly relieve the worst case of indi-
gestion or gastritis. Try them.
