LEARN TO EAT
Then II Stomach Rebels, You Need
Mi-o-na.

One of the great characteristics OF
the American people is-too rapid eat
ing. The inevitable result Of boiling
our food is indigestion with its various
forms of stomach ills.
Nothing makes life so miserable, or
interferes so widely with the useful
ness Of the average American as dys-
pepsia, the result of indigestion.
The quick lunch counters, many res
taurants and even some homes are YER
liable manufacturers Of stomach trou-
bles.
1t seems useless to say ''eat slowly"
for our best physicians, and publica-
tions devoted to health, have been
making the same cry for years, yet
we don't heed their warnings.
Since We persist in defying nature,
help must be given the digestive ma
chinery, otherwise serious results will
follow.
Mi-ona tablets are a specific for
stomach ills. They not only attack
the food in the stomach and assist in
it's digestion but go farther, and tone
up the entire digestive tract, restoring
it to a healthy condition, so that We
can eat what, we want at any time
without distress.
Take Mona at the first sign Of up

toms OF stomach distress will prompt

ming smoothly.
