Science Has Now Found the True Way to Cure Indigestion. A fptv vpnr flcn. when a - suf ferer from indigestion went to a stomach specialist, the result was a rigid diet list that almost meant starvation. But the first thin? to do in the case of indigestion, or stomach weakness is to strengthen the muscular walls of the stomach and intestines, so that they will care for the food that is eaten. In no mother wav - can this be done fts- 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, sn that the food is digested readily and its, nourishment re tained in the system to build up energy and vitality. " '. Da not think tbe sick head ache. heartburn.' bad taste s In the mouth, coated tongue, spots before the eyes, sleeplessness and the m an v other svmotoms that are tbe direct result of in gestion, will go away of them selves. The stomach must be built up and strengthened " by Mi-o-na before vou can- be . well and strong, free from suffering and distress. -! " The PTtaractee that J. II. Ken nedy St Co.. eive with every 50- cent box of Mi-o-na,' to refund the money unless-' the remedy cures, shows their confidence in the treatment. - S2704 the proud parents of a baby girl.
