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.
