DON'T NEGLECT
YOUR STOMACH
If It's Upset Mi-o-na Puts 1t Right
And Ends Distress

If you are one OF the thousands who
cannot eat a simple meal without its
lying in the stomach like lead, fer
menting and causing painful distress,
sourness and gas. do not delay but
get at once some Mi-o-na-a simple
prescription TO be had at any drug
gist's-that quickly and effectively
ends indigestion and corrects bad
stomachs.
You must not allow your upset
stomach TO go from bad to worse for
fermentation causing greater agony,
more gas, sick headache, unrefreshing
sleep blue SPELLS" and nervousness.
A few Mi-o-na tablets are just what
you need. Use them freely at the first
sign of distress. Mi-o-na not only
quickly ends the misery, but helps TO
unclog the liver and strengthens the
stomach-then your food is properly
digested.
Mi-o-na is not only inexpensive but
wortley e. French sell 1t with agree
ment to refund the money IL II does
not give satisfaction.

made the trip over from Milton to
Pensacola in one hour and thirty-fve
minutes. They came by Floridatown
and the bay was crossed on the steam

clared to be much less reliable than
the old one, and is said to be much
less satisfactory for handling the
