STOMACH MISERY
QUICKLY VANISHES

Your money back if you want it, is
the way in which F. D. Pierce, the
popular druggist, is selling Mi o. ma,
the great dyspepsia RENE dy.
This is an unusual plan. but Mi o. ma
has so much merit and is SO almost
invariably successful! in relieving all
forms Of indigestion that he rurs but
little risk in selling under a guarante g
OF this kind.
Do not be miserable or make your
friends miserable with your dyspep-
STA. Mi-o-na will help you. If it
doesn't, tell 2. d. Pierce that you
want your money back and he will
cheerfully refund it.
A change for the better will be seen
fr pm the first few doses of Mona
and its continued use will soon start
you on the road to perfect digestion
and enjoyment of food
Ml-o-na has been so uniformly
successful that every box is sold
under positive guarantee to refund
the money if it does not relieve.
What fairer proposition could be
made?
F. D. Pierce gives his personal
guarantee of "money back if you
want it'' with every box of Mi-o-na
that he sells. A guarantee like this
speaks volumes for the merit of the
remedy.
Sold and guaranteed in Orleans by
