STOM AGONY
Abolish the Cause, and Misery and
Distress of Indigestion
Will Vanish

Can indigestion be cured? Hun
dreds of thousands of people who suf-
fer from belching of gas; biliousness,
sour stomach, fullness, nausea, short
ness of breath, bad taste in mouth;
foul breath, nervousness and other
distressing symptoms, are asking
themselves that question daily.
And if these same doubling dyspep-
tics could only read the thousands OF
sincere letters from people who once
suffered as badly as they do now, but
who have been quickly and permanent
ly cured by the use of Mi-o-na, the
mighty dyspepsia remedy that cures
by removing the cause, they would go
to Hanson & Emerson this very day
and get large box of Mi-o-na tablets.
The price of Mi-o-na tablets is only
SO cents, and Hanson & Emerson
guarantees them to cure indigestion,
or money back.
Thin or lean or scrawney people Will
find in Mi-o-na a maker OF flesh and
blood, because it causes the stomach
to extract more nutritious matter
from the food. 45-47

UPSET STOMACH
Ends five Minutes After Taking
Some Dlapepsin
EAT YOUR FAVOR
ITt FOODS

Take your sour StOmach-or maybe
you call it Indigestion, Dyspepsia
Gastritis or Catarrh of Stomach; ii
doesn't matter-take your stomach
trouble right with you to your Phar,
macist and ask him to open 50-cent
case of Pape's Diapepsin and let you
eat one 22-grain Triangule and see if
within five minutes there is left any
trace of your stomach misery.
The correct name for your trouble
is Food Fermentation-foOd souring;
the Digestive organs become weak,
there is lack of gastric juice; your food
is only half digested, and you become
affected with loss of appetite, pressure
and fullness after eating, vomiting,
nausea, heartburn, gripping in bowels,
tenderness in the pit of stomach, bad
taste in mouth, constipation, pain in
limbs, sleeplesness, belching of gas,
billiousness, sick headache, nervous
ness, dizziness and many other similar
symptoms
If Your appetite is tickle, and moth
ing tenpts yous or you belch gas or if
you feel blosted after eating, or your
food lies like q lump Of lead on your
stomach, you can make up your mind
that at the bottom of all this there is
but one cause se-fermentation of undi-
gestod food. - -. >,,. =.
Prove to yourself, after your tnext
meal, that your stomach is as good as
any; that there is nothing really
wrong, Stop this fermentation and
begin eating what you want without
fear of discomfort or misery.
Almost instant relief is waiting for
you. It is merely a matter of how
soon you take little Diapepsin. 45-4t
