Is a practical demonstration Of what
may be done in music by public school

recommended for band work of any

Take a Sunshine Tablet fol-
Thy Stomach's Sake

There never was such marvellous
prescription for stomach distress and
indigestion as Mi-o-na.
No doctor ever wrote better one;
it's doubtful If any doctor ever will
It's so good that G. r. Fogg says
money back if it doesn't relieve.
\ woman in Maine calls Mi-o-na the
sunshine prescription because she has
seen so many sour, miserable, aggra-
waiting dyspeptics turned into happy
cheerful, sweet human beings in few
days by taking Mi-o-na
The stomach is responsible for three
fourths of the nervousness and half
the misery of the world. A woman
can have a first-class stomach and yet
he miserable If she has a husband
who is a nervous dyspeptic.
If YOU have Indigestion, belching of
gas. heaviness after eating. drowsy
sensation after eating. sour stomach or
any miserable stomach disturbance the
prescription called Mi-o-na will put
you right and bring sunshine into
your life in a week.
large box of Mi-o-na tablets cost
only 60 cents at G.. K. Fogg and by
leading druggists everywhere. They
are small and easy to swallow.
