If you went to thirty doctors and
paid each his fee for a prescription
for Indigestion or stomach misery it
is ten chances to one you wouldn't
get such good prescription as the
one from which MI-O-NA stomach
tablets are made.
How can such thing be? you nat
urally ask.
Simply because the man who wrote
the prescription from which MILO
MA tablets are made knows more
about stomach diseases than sc per
cent. of all the physicians in Ameri-
ca, and he gets paid for knowing.
