These thousands Of people are swal-

and other strong digesters, made espe-
cially to digest the food in the stom-
ach without any aid at all from the
digestive membrane of the stomach.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets relieve dis
tressed stomach in five minutes; they
SO more. Taken regularly for few
weeks they build up the run down
stomach and make it strong enough to
digest its own food Then Indigestion,
