DANGER IN CLOSE ALLIANCES
Investigation Has Shown That Cancer
Is Most Probable When Cousins
Are Welded.

Speaking of the possible hereditary
tendency to cancer, DIR. Charles b.
Davenport of the eugenics laboratry
at Cold Spring Harbor, N. Y, says
of the fact that the incidence of cancer
is highest in Maine: Il have no doubt
that this is due to the presence of one
or more races in Maine which are nom
immune to cancer"
Doctor Davenport's studies indicate
that resistance to cancer is a positive
(dominant) trait and that nonresist-
ance appears in children only when
both parents belong to nonresistant
race, And this result is commonest,
other things being equal, where cousin
marriages are commonest, because
that makes it probable that is one
parent belongs to a cancer race, the
other-the cousin--will belong to the
same cancer race. Now, in rural
Maine cousin marriages are extremely
frequent, especially in the islands off
the coast, and here we have the con-
ditious for the result-the high Incl
dence of numbers of the cancer race
in an inbred community"

Don't Suffer--Laugh
At Stomach Misery
Mi-o-na Is Guaranteed to Quickly
Relieve Heartburn, Gas, Sour
ness and All Indigestion Pains.


Relieve Heartburn, Gas, Sour
ness and All Indigestion Pains.
Among all the hundreds of
remedies in every well stocked
drug store, there are few that the
druggist is able to sell On a
guarantee to refund the money If
they do not cure.
Mi-o-na, the famous dyspepsia
remedy, however. has helped so
many stomach sufferers that ev-
cry druggist who sells it is able to
say, IF this remedy does not re-
lieve you, come back to my store
and | will cheerfully return your
money"
Anyone who has dyspepsia, in
digestion, or suffers from heart
burn, belching of gas, sourness
sick headaches and other stom-
ach misery should take advantage
of this chance to be made well
without any risk of spending
their money to no purpose. Mi
o-na will relieve you, will regu-
late the digestion, will enable
you to eat what you want. II
it does not do all this it will not
cost you a cent.
Many druggists who have sold
hundreds of boxes of Mi-o-na say
they have yet to receive the first
complaint from any customer.
Such a record is simply marvel
Gus and speaks volumes for the
merit of the remedy.
1t is easy enough to fill col
umn with the symptoms affecting
those who have dyspepsia, but
there is no need of describing
their condition. What they want
is relief and they can almost GER
tainly get it in Mi-o-na. Do not
suffer a day longer with disor-
dered digestion. If Mi-o-na re-
lieves you it costs you so cents
box, IL it does not, the druggist
will return your money. Sold by
Crown Drug Co. and other lead
ing dealers.
