' Tou may ask .why It la that MI-o-na stomach tablets are sold under a guar antee to refund the money unless they cure, when no other treatment for stomach troublea is sold In this man ner. " : : 1 The answer is simple and conclusive. Other medicines for stomach troubles merely digest the food, while Ml-o-na strengthens the whole digestive system so that it soon becomes able to care for ail the food that is eaten. If you do not use your arm or leg for a month, the muscles become flabby and -weak and - you . have to - resort to artificial help. It Is ths same way with the stomach muscles. If they are not need, they become so week that It Is necessary to continue using a .digestive with the food you eat. On the other hand, , when you use Ml-o-na, your stomach soon grows so strong thai you can glve up the use of medicine. ' - - Ml-o-na costs 60o a box and does more real good than a dozen boxes of ordinary digestive tablets. We absolutely agree that your money will be refunded should you buy a loo box of Ml-o-na stomach tablets and not be satisfied with the results.
