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.
