the train and told her to come up and
! live with her motlier, in Josephine
I county. She farther states that at all
times he treated her in acrnel acd

Half of the prescriptions the Grant
Pas doctor write are for trouble
that result directly from a weakened
stomach. Strengthen the stomach
muscles, inorease the secretions of
sastrio juices. nd yon will find that
common affliction indigestion, with
its head aches, disciness, depression
of spirits, spots before the eyes, ner
vousness, sleeplessuess and general
debility have been overcome. 1
From now on build up the atrength
and health of the stomach with Mi
o ua tablets. Yon will soon find
yont self strong and never know the
meaning of indigestion.
If Mi-o-na did not have an unusu
ally curative effect in stomach dis
orders, it coold not be sold on th
guarantee given by Demaray to refund
the money unless it aoes all that is
o'aimed for it. He gives an absolute,
unqualified guarantee with every 50
ceut box of Mi-o-na that the mouey
will be refunded unless the medicine
