Sour Stomach

Mi-o-na Puts the Stomach in Fine
 Shape in Five Days.
 If your stomach is continually kick ing up a disturbance; you feel bloat- ed and distressed; if you belch gas and sour food into the mouth, then you need Mi-o-na Stomach Tablets.
 Mi-o-na stomach tablets give in stant relief. of course, but they do more; they drive out the poisonous gases that cause fermentation of food and thoroughly clean, renovate and strengthen the stomach so that it can readily digest food without artificial aid.
 Mi-o-na stomach tablets are guar anteed to end indigestion, acute or chronic, or money back. This means that nervousness. dizziness and bili- ousness will disappear. Druggists everywhere and The Lee & Osgood Co. sell Mi-o-na
