MONA QUICKLY
 ENDS INDIGESTION
Eat Your Favorite Food and Never Fear After r-Distress

There is way for you to eat what ever your stomach crayes and do it over again the next day. Many will say How I wish T could but I have tried and every time it nearly kills me-"
 The real trouble is that people who suffer the untold agony of indigestion, do not properly care for the stomach
 Every stomach has a lot of work to perform in digesting the food and if crowded with extra labor it rebels and kicks up a fearful. disturbance.
 Mi-o-na, a simple, harmless, mex pensive and most effective prescrip- ton, easily obtained at any drug store, will quickly stop this disturbance. Mi-o-na was especially prepared to regulate out-of- order stomachs. It not only helps the over-worked digestive organs by. increasing the flow of gas tric juices, but surely and safely builds up and strengthens the stom- ach walls so that the stomach can care for the food as nature intended. It's needless for you to suffer with indigestion, heartburn, bilious ness, sour, gaSsy or upset stomach, for Mi-o-na should give prompt and last ing relief. Do not delay but get some of these health restoring tablets from Lee 6 Osgood today. If Mi-o-na does not banish all stomach distress. there will not be a penny of expense.
