Classy STOMACH.
Quick Relief and Comfort.

MI-O-NA is a prescription of a
noted specialist, and for quick relief
and permanent cure of all stomach
ailments, no better prescription was
ever written.
MI-O-NA not only builds up and
puts strength and elasticity into the
stomach, but it is a splendid tonic
that puts rich, red blood into the
veins, and vim, yigor and energy
into the whole body.
If you suffer from headaches, dir
illness, biliousness, constipation, in
active liver, nervousness, sleepless-
ness, foul breath, heartburn, short
ness of breath, sour stomach or des-
pondency, try MI-O-NA stomach tab
lets.
If they don't do you the world OF
good Il. j. Parman will give your
money back.
A fifty cent box will put the stom'
ach of the ordinary dyspeptic in fine
shape. For chronic cases more may
be required.
