HERE'S NEW VIGOR FOR
OVERWORKED STOMACHES

R. Hodgins, the popular druggist
has been in the drug business LONG
enough to have his own opinion of the
best way to selling medicines. He
says the plan adopted by Mi-o-na, the
great dyspepsia remedy, is the fairest
he has ever heard of. He doesn't be-
lieve that a medicine ought to be paid
for unless it does the user some good.
And Mi-o-na is sold under positive
guarantee to relieve dyspepsia or to
refund the money. You simply leave
so cents on deposit with R. Hodgins
and If, after you have used the box
OF Mona you decide that it has done
you no good all you have to do is to
tell him so and he will return your
money.
Hundreds of people have been re-
lieved of stomach agonies by using
this remarkable remedy. It Is not
simply food digester; 1t is med
icine that puts all of the digestive or
gans into normal condition and gives
ruddy, glowing, vigorous health. A
change for the better will be seen af-
ter the first few doses of Mona, and
it's continued use will soon give the
power to eat anything at any time and
not suffer distress afterward. Use Mi
o-na and see how much more there is
IN life. So-1
