A Dead Stomach !,-0f What Use Is Ii =?

Thousands? yes hundreds Of thous-
ards Of people throughout America
are taking the slow death treatment
daily.
They are numbering their own
stomach, the best friend they have.
and in their sublime ignorance they
think they are putting aside the
laws of nature.
This is no sensational statement;
it is a startling fact, the truth of
which any honorable physician will
not deny.
These thousands of people are
swallowing daily huge quantities Of
pepsin and other strong digesters,
made especially to digest the food
in the stomach without any aid at
all from the digestive membrane OF
the stomach.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets relieve
distressed stomach in five minutes;
they do more. Taken regularly fol
a few weeks they build up the rur
down stomach and make it strong
enough to digest its own food. Their
indigestion, beiching, sour stomach
and headache will go.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are solo
by druggists everywhere and by B.
T. Whitehead Co., who guarantees
them. so cents box.

The Use Of Cigarettes.

My observation of cigarette
smokers has confirmed my be-
lief that no man Or boy who is
victim Of the cigarette habit
can keep himself up to a high
mental Or physical standard
Cigarette smoking leads boys
into bad company and & de-
moralizirg environment. A
New York city magistrate says
that ninety-ninc out of a hun
dred of all the lads charged
with crime, from misdemeanors
to burglary, have had their
moral sense weakened by the
poison of cigarettes. A study
of the subject Of cigarette
smoking convinces me that it
has a fatal effect on ones sue
cess in life. When indulged in
to excess, it destroys the abili-
ty to concentrate the mind,
which is the secret of all
achievement. It drains off the
physical energy, and saps the
vitality and force which should
be made to tell in ones career.
1t blunts the sensibilities and
deadens the thinking faculties.
1t kills ambition and the finer
and more delicate instincts and
aspirations. The whole ten
dency Of the cigarette nicotine
poison in the youth is to arrest
development 1t is fatal to all
normal functions. 1t blights
and blasts both health and
morals. 1t not only ruins the
faculties, but in some instances
unbalances the mind. 1t ere
ates abnormal appetites, dis
content, nervousness, irritable
ity, and, in many, an almost
irresistible inclination to crime.
In fact, the moral depravity
which follows the cigarette
habit is appalling. Lying,
cheating, impurity, loss OF
moral courage and manhood, a
complete dropping of life's
standards all along the line, are
it's general results. .-Orison
