A few years ago, when a sufferer from indigestion went to a stomach specialist, the resnlt was a rigid diot list that almost meant starvation. But the first thing to do in tbe case of indigestion or stomach weakness is to strengthen tbe muscular walls of the stomach and intestines,-so that they will care for tbe food that is eaten. In no other way can this be done as well as by taking a Mi-o-na tablet before each meal. This restores strength to the stomach muscles and stimulates the pouring out of gastric juices, so that the food is digest ed readily and its nourishment retained in tbe system to Duild up energy and vitality. 0 Do not think tbe sick headache, heart burn", bad taste in tbe mouth, coated tongue, spots before the eyas, sleepless ness and the many other symptoms that are tbe direct result of indigestion, will go away of themselves. The stomach must ba built np and strengthened by Mi- o-na before you can b9 well and strong, free trom suffering and distress. The guarantee that Graham & Wells give with every 50-cent box of Mi-o-na, to refund the money unless the remedy enres-, shows their confidence in the treatment. .
