Against Many Mis,
Nothing is more important to Ameri
ous than the good health of her people.
How can they fill their place in this
busy town unless they are well?
No one trouble is responsible for more
nervous ills, sleeplessness, general de
bility, weakness, back-ache*, rheumatic
pains, even ill-temper and peevishness,
than indigestion.
Fortunately, a combination of reme
dies, called Mi-o-ua stomach tablets,
has been discovered that absolutely
oures indigestion and restore i to health
and strength the whole digestive system.
So reliable is Mi-o-na in caring all
forms of stomach weakness and troubles
that Dodson's Pharmacy give a guaran
tee that the remedy will cost nothing
unless it cures, Mi-o-na sells for 50 cents
and is invaluable to anyone who suffers
with indigestion, nervousnrsi or weak
stomach,
