A Dead Stomach
Of What Use Il II?

Thousands yes hundreds of thousands
of people throughout America are taking
the slow death treatment daily.
They are numbering their own stomach,
the best friend they have, and in their
sublime ignorance they think they are
putting aside the laws of nature.
This is no sensational statement, it is
startling fact, the truth of which any
honorable physician will not deny.
These thousands of people are swallow
ing daily huge quantities of pepsin and
other strong digesters, made especially to
digest the food in the stomach without
any aid at all from the digestive mem
brane of the stomach.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets relieve dis
tresed stomach in five minutes; they do
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, belching, sour
stomach and headache will 60.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are sold by
druggists everywhere and by A. A. Howes
4 Co., who guarantee them.
