When George W. Atkinson goes upon
the bench OF the United States Court OF
Claims on Monday, he will receive the
congratulations OF his colleagues and OF
other officials OF that high court over
the honor bestowed upon him at Ciarks-
burg by tho West Virginia Bar Assoeia-
ton, which elected the former governor
It's president for the ensuing year. It Is
regarded as a rather appropriate honor
by Judge AtlSinSon's friends, something OF
the character Of a welcome back home to
him, as It Is understood that Judge At
ktnson will shortly avail himself OF the
privilege OF retiring from the bench. and
will make formal announcements OF his
decision shortly. He can retire any time
after the 18th OF this month, and 1t In
believed that the Bar Association being
apprlsed that this Is his intention took
the opportunity to'pay him a pretty COM
pllment, one that would be construed az
welcome home In the state that Judge,
Atkinson loves and which returns the az
lection In a no measurable quantity.

It is an unusual thing for druggist
to sell medicine under a guarantee t.
refund the money il it does not cure
Yet this is the way Anders Jacobsen
the popular druggist, is selling Milo
ma, the standard dyspepsia remedy.
Never before has he had so large a
number of customers tell him that a
medicine has been successful as with
Mi .o-na. People who few months
ago looked like walking skeletons
have put ON flesh and to-day are ruddy
and vigorous with perfect digestion
and good health. ....
There is no longer any need for
anyone suffering or making their
friends suffer on account Of dyspepsia.
Mi -o-na can always be relied upon.
The percentage of cures is SO great
that there ID little risk to Anders Jac.
OLSEN in guaranteeing to return the
money of the medicine does not re-
lieve. And he stands ready to do so
without any questions.
Headaches, all forms of Indigestion,
specks before the eyes, dizzy feelings
and all forms of liver trouble are
helped by Mi-o-na- A few days.
treatment should show considerable
gain in health while complete cure
often follows rapidly.
