Means vigor, Vim, Vitality.

Because MONA causes the blood
to get better and more nourishment
it is at all times valuable tonic It
puts vigor into the muscles. clears up
the improperly nourished brain and
makes strong nerves that will stand
the severest test.
Men who feel that their vitality is
slipping away: that the vim and en-
ergy that they formerly put into all
their work is lacking: that ambitious
impulses and clever ideas do not come
as they used to-are the kind Of men
that need MONA.
These are the kind OF men that a
months treatment will put in fine
shape.
Besides being a peerless remedy for
indigestion MONA is most pro-
nounced tonic. It makes the skin
clear and clean: 1t puts color in the
cheeks and causes dull eyes to
brighten.
II you have that blue, disconnected
feeling through the day and pass rest
