All of us suffer from bad breath— sometimes our own. but oftener that of our friends. Nine-tenths of this bad breath comes from some stomach trouble, and cannot be overcome by breath perfumes or any other palliative measures. If you occasionally have a bad breath; if there Is heart-bum. flatu lence and acid gulplngs of undigested food; If the stomach burns or smarts; If there is sleeplessness, nervousness, headache 8 or any other of the many symptoms of Indigestion, use Ml-o-na stomach tablets and get well. Mi-o-na is not a mere digestive nor a physic, but a tonic remedy that strengthens the muscles of the stom ach and bowels so that the flow of gastric Juices h increased, and the food is digested naturally and does not stay In the stomach to fermeut and poison the breath. Gaffney Drug Co. has seen so many cures made by Ml-o-na stomach tablet* that they give a guarantee with every r>0-cent box that the money will be refunded If the remedy falls to give satisfaction. They take .the whole risk, and a box of Ml-o-na will not cost you a penny unless It cures you. Here’, Good Advice. O. 8. Woolever, one of the best- known merchants of Le Raysville, N.
