LEARN TO EAT
Few People In Crsvnts Pass
RaeJIy Know How.
Slow eating will solve one-half the
problem of ill health. Those who
offer already with indigestion and
weak stomach can with care and the
me of Mi-o-na stomach tablets restore
their digestion to a healthy condition,
so that they can eat what they want
at any time without fear of distress
or suffering.
After a few days' nse of Miona
stomach 'tablets, the headache, dizzy
feeling, drowsiness, bad taste in the
mouth, ooattd tongue, nervousness,
sleeplessness, distress after eating, all
these symptoms of a weak stomach
will disappear, and perfect digestion
and a good sain will show that the
vital machinery is onoe more running
smoothjy.
Take a little Mi-o-na tablet before
each meal ao that it will stimulate the
digestive juices and give strength to
the stomach, and then it will lake care
of the food that is eaten, without in
digestion and the unpleasant full feel
ing with which so many suffer after
meals.
Demaray has so much confidence in
the power of Mi-o-na to cor indiges
tion and all stoma. h ills thai he gives
gaarantee with every 60 cent box to
refund the money if the remedy fai Is
to give satisfaction.

"In July, 1800, my face began to be
affected with a terrible skin disease.
I went to a doctor, and he told me
that I bad been poisoned and be want
ed to operate on me. I refused to let
him do so and after a few months my
face was an awful sight. Ton could
see that it was diseased to the boue.
Some people claimed that I bad
cancer. Great bolls would appear,
increasing in size and paining me
terribly. I began to doctor again
but no oue could help me; large pim
ples and boils would continue to
come. At that time I bad as many as
10 on my face. I was suoh a terrible
sight that my friends could not bear
to see me. I doctored for five years
until my funds gave out and I had to
stop. During this time I tried over
300 remedies.
'One day I happened to bear of D.
D. D. Prescription and learned that.
it had cured several bad cases of Eo-
zema. I purchased a bottle and then
I got a second bottle. The use of five
bottles cured me. It has been eiitht
months. now and the disease has not
returned. My friends ask what it
was that cured me of the awful skin
trouble and I answer that it was D.
D. D." which healed me. "
, We know that every word of the
bove letter is absolutely true. We
keep" D. D. D. Prescription, the
great remedy for eczema, psoriasis,

the cures it has made appear to be
lasting. Come Id and talk to as
