THIS COSTS YOU-NOTHING,
J. W. Peacock Will Keturn Your Money
If Mi-o-ua Does Not Coro Dyspepsia
and Increase Flesh.
'There are hundreds of people in Thom
asville who were not the least .bit sur
prised when they read in the Times*
Enterprise that .T. \V. Peacock is sell
ing Mi-o-ua under a guarantee to refund
the money, incase it did not core indi-
gesrien and increase weight.
This remarkable preparation is a true
flesh-forming food, that builds up good,
healthy, solid tissues, and makes thin
ness and scrawniness a thing of tiiopast.
It tones np the digestive organs, and
will care the worst case of indigestion,
headache, dizziness, or the depressed,
weak condition that afflicts nearly every
one who suffers with stomach troabte.
Mi-o-na does not simply relievo; it does
lasting good.
J. w. Peacock can tell you many well
known people whom Mi-o-na has restor
ed to health, and given an increase in
flesh, after trying other methods of treat
ment with no benefit.
In 98 out of every 100 cases where
Mi-o-na is used, the result is a restora
tion of perfect harmony between height
and weight and an absolute and per
manent care of all stomach troubles.
J. W. Peacock believes in Mi-o-na and
stands ready to refund the price to
any customer who can say it has not
helped.
The best kind of advertising is the
praise of a pleased customer, and there
are today hundreds In Thomasville
who are advertising Mi-o-na because it
cured them. A few months ago they
were thin and dyspeptic and could eat
nothing without fear of stomaoh trou
ble. Since using Mi-o-na they have
made a noticeablo gain In flesh, can eat
what they want, and when they want
without fear of suffering.
Bam—bar that yon risk nothing in
baying Mho-ns. If it gives yon tbs
desired effect the cost is trifling, if it
fails J. W. Peacock will pay for the,
NEW HOUSES
Burned Buildings an Jefferson Street
Being Replaced.
Out of the ssbesof the old the new
is arising. The two houses at the cor
ner of Stephens and Jefferson streets,
which were recently destroyed by fire,
are already being replaced. One of the
homes belonged to Min Eula Tallis,
and a five room cottage on her lot is al-
meat complete.
Mrs. Tallis wss the owner of the oth
er homes, and a five room Rome on her
lot too is wall under way.
The need for homes of this elan in
Thomasville is too great to remain long
unsatisfied. The Thomasville real es
tate market remains more constantly
firm than does that of almost any other
city in Georgia.

ory of man rnnneth not to the contrary.
Min Pet Woodson is just completing
two new tenement homes on Sooth
street, and Mr. Will Akin is about to
finish two good mates for them in the
rame neighborhood on Lester street;
The district looks liken cotton factory
town wore being started there.

“Do It Today.’’
Tim time-worn injunction, ‘'Never

today,” is now gonerally presented in
this form; "Do it to-day!” That is
tho terse advice we want to give von

gling for several days, perhaps weeks.
Take some reliable remedy for it TO.
DAY—and lot that remedy be Dr. Bos-
cliee's German Syrup, which has been
in use for over thirty-five years. A few
doses will undoubtedly relieve yonr
cough or cold, and its continued use for
a few days will cure you completely.
No matter how deep-seated your cough,
even if dread consnmtion has attacked
your lungs, German Syrup will surely
effect a core—as it has dono before in

Mr, D. C. Barrow, Gen. Agt. . . -
Thomasville, Ga., - ,
Dear Sir—I have for several years carried a $5,000 policy in the Franklin Life.
Iam familiar with the plans of insurance of the different companies. I took thjs
policy because I considered it tne best to be had,and that opinion has never not been changed;
The recent examination of the company has strengthens my confidence in its finan
cial prosperity and the high character of its management.
The Registration and Depositylaw of Illinois gives double security, as it requires the
deposits with the state of of gilt edge securities to cover the full reserve, thereby sur
rounding each policy with greater protection than those of any other companies.
Yours truly,
W. H. Rockwell.
