SCripiiOn That Means VIgOr,

Because MI-O-NA causes the blood
to get better and more nourishment
it is at all times valuable tonic. 1t
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 vain and
energy that they formerly put into
all their work is lacking; that ambi-
tious impulses and clever ideas do
not come as they use to-are the
kind OF men that need MI-O-NA.
Besides being peerless remedy
for indigestion MI-O-NA is a most
pronounced tonic.
If you have that blue discontented
feeling through the day and pass
restless nights, trying unsuccessfully
to get refreshing sleep, take
months treatment of MI-O-NA
stomach tablets. and bring the sum
shine into your life.
