Many women who would not tolerate

suffer from an unclean stomach, where
food ferments, turns sour and becomes
putrid.
1t is just as easy for woman to keep
her stomach clean, as to keep her kitchen
clean in fact it is much easier, and does
not require hours of toll.
One or two Mona stomach tablets
after each meal will in a short time
thoroughly clean and renovate the most
distressed stomach. They will do more;
they will put strength and energy into
the walls of the stomach, and cause the
juices of digestion to flow freely, SO that
all food will promptly digest.
women: keep your stomach clean and
free from fermenting food, and you will
find that other ailments such as nausea,
blliousness, sick headache, nervousness,
sleeplessness, constipation and palpita-
ton of the heart will disappear.
