Wells-Haymaker, the popular
druggist. have been in the drug bu-
siness long enough to have their own
opinion OF the best way Of selling
medicines. They say the plan adopt
ed by Mi-o-na, the great dyspepsia
remedy, Is the fairest they have ever
heard Of. They don't believe that a
medicine ought to be paid for unless
It does the user some good. And
Mi-o-na Is sold under a positive guar
antee to relieve dyspepsia or to re-
fund the money. You simply leave
SO cents on deposit with Wells-Hay-
maker and If, after you have used
the box Of Mi-o-na you decide that
1t has done you no good, all you
have to do Is to tell them so and
they will return your money.
Hundreds OF people have been re
lieved Of stomach agonies by using
this remarkable remedy. It Is moi
simply a food digester: It Is med
icine that puts all Of the digestive
organs into normal condition and
gives ruddy. glowing. vigorous
health. A change for the better will
be seen after the first few doses oil

soon give the power to eat anything
at any time and not suffer distress
afterward.

The monetary conversion Of Mica

the old paper into the new money.
The conversion was begun In a pre-

obstacles the present government,
which succeeded the provisional Of

Of business, commerce and industries.

basis, the gold exchange falling from
the silver rate Of 2.0S in 1900 to a
