BEAUTY TRUTHS.
Pimples, SallOWness, HlOtches and
Dull Eyes Caused by Stomach.

Beauty is only skin deep, but
that's deep enough for most women,
also men.
In order to keep the skin in a
clear, clean, healthy condition, the
stomach must supply the blood plen-
ty of nutrition. AS long as the
stomach is out of order and the
blood lacks proper nourishment, the
skin will be affected.
If you want a perfect skin that
you will be proud Of, take a weeks
treatment of MI-O-NA stomach tab
lets.
Get a fifty cent box today, and if
you are not satisfied after a weeks
treatment, you can have your money
back.
For any stomach ailment Ml-O-NA
IS guaranteed. 1t gives almost in
slant relief and permanently cures.
