Mott says: “I had doctored for months without help. I used Mio na and since using it three years ago I have been free from the distress. Mrs. Emma Overy says: “For months I had dyspepsia, bad stomach distress, pains and nausea. Nothing I used relieved or cured till I used Mi-o-na.” Holthouse Drug Co. the druggist in Decatur, sells the wonderful dyspepsia cure sh-o-na for 50 cents a large box and he thinks so well of it, that he will give your money back if it doesn’t cure.
