AN OPEN LETTER To the Editor of the Courier, and I Want the People of Oregon City to Know that I Wrlle the Following: Voluntarily. Harry L. Goodlel. I write these tew lines out of grati tude for what Mi-o-im has done for me for dyspepsia and Indigestion. I have suffered for the past five years and have tried different doctors, but have had no relief nntil I bought a?50 cent box of Mi-o-na from our drug store (R. W. Knowlton's) here a short time ago. The first box did me so much good that I immediately purchpsed another one, and now I feel bettor than I have at any time in the past five years. Am able to eat anything and every thing, and get a good night's Bleep afterwards. Was so bad at one time that all I was able to eat for over a month was a raw egg in a half a glass of milk, two or tliree times a day. I would earnestly advise anyone Buffering as I was from dyspepsia to give this remedy a fair trial. I re main gratefully yours, Harry L. Goodiol, No. V4 River St., Astabula, O. Mi-o-na is the rnly logical dyspep sia remedy on the market today. It is not a digester. It does not oontain a particle ot pepsin. It cures by build ing up the muscular walls of the stomach, and making the stomach so strong and perfect that it is able without artificial help to digest an oridnary meal With ease and without discomfort. The experience of Mr. Goodiel is a common one, and it is safe to say that Mi-o-na tablets have cored more acute aud chronic diseases of the stomach than any other medicine. Jones Drag Co. soils it at 50 cents a box, and guarantees it to cure or money back. School Report. Report of Maple Lane School, Dis trict No. 27, for the month ending De cember lltht.
