Sells Mi-o-na, Nature's Core For Dys
pepsia.
“If Mi-o-oa fails to core yon of dys
pepsia, come back to hi* store and get
yonr money” is the broad and liberal
way in which J. W. Peacock is selling
Mi-o-na, nature's care for dyspepsia.
It Is seldom Indeed that any one avails
themselves of this offer, proving conclu
sively tbe almost invariable good results
that follow the nse of this scientific
treatment for stomach tronble. -
A 80c box of Mi-o-na contains two
weeks treatment and benefit will be seen
from almost the first dose. The guaran
tee means that If Mi-o-na does not give
complete satisfaction the full prioe paid
will be refnnded when the empty boxes
are retnrned, and cover* two boxes.
There is no other medicine that will
compare with Mi-o-na for relieving the
stomach* tronble. Pain aud dftnmfort
after eating, dlxxinoss, specks before the
qyci, gas and fermentation, lit fact, all
forms of indigestion arefqnfckly reliev
ed and permanently cored by Mi-o-na.
It increase* the vitality, soothes and
heals any internal inflammation and
gives tone and strength to tbe whole
•vstem. '
Begin the nse of Mi-o-na to-day and
see how easily and quickly stomachs
troubles may be cared, If the right
remedy Is used. (
