RICH RED,BLOOD.

You Will Never Have It as Long as Yon Have Dyspepsia. Just as long as you have dyspepsia your food will not properly digest, and the nutrlous elements in the food will not be extracted or absorbed, and impoverished or watery blood will follow. This condition may not be apparent at first, but it will come just as sure as the sun will rise again. Any stomach ailment, including all forms of indigestion, can be promptly cured by using Mi-o-na tablets, a scientific treatment unsurpassed. It stops fermentation, belching of gas and taste of sour food almost at once. The mighty power of Ml-o-na to invignrate and restore the stomach to perfect condition is known everywhere. • Ml-o-na by building up—by banishing the' cause. For thin people it is a great flesh builder, because it causes the stomach to give more and purer nutrition to the blood. It cures sea and car sickness and vomiting of pregnancy almost immediately. Fendig’s Drug Store sells Mi-o-na for 50 cents a large box, and guarantees it to cure or money back.
