EAT WHAT YOU WANT. Bat Find the Way to Digest What Yoa Do Eat The first thing to do in the case of indigestion or stomach weakness is to strengthen the muscular w;i11r of the sbomiuih and intestines, so that Ihuy will care for the food that is estau. 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, then the food digests readily and you begin to get the full benefit from what you eat. Use Mi-o-na whenever you have sick headache, heartburn, bad taste in the mouth, co<kted tougue, spots before the eyes, sleupIeasneHH and in ni^usy other symptoms tb«t are the direct result of indigestion. W. E. Richardson and son giro with every 50 cent box of Mi-o-na a guarantee to refund the money unless the rMaody cures. I Honor Rolls. ;^ I Eugenia Public School report f. .r ApriL ' Class 4â€" H.
