MISSIONARY PROGRESS IN CHINA.

most of them in the province® of
Ho-Nou, Hu-Non, Shousl, Sy-Shuen.

edicts for the overthrow of the truth.

BEST TIME TO CURE
Dyspepsia—Smith Bros & Co.,
Guarantees Mi-o-na Will Cure
If Used Now.
The warm weather months are
tho best in the whole year for the
treatment of dyspepsia and stom-
ach troubles. Tne out door life,
the fruit aud terries which are so
liberally eaten, all help to restore
tone to the digestive system.
If the food you eat gives you
pain and discomfort and does not
digest readily, a Mi-o-na tablet
taken aft°>r each meal will soon
bring relief and complete freedom
from all stomach troubles.
Mi-o-na soothes and heals the
inflamed stomach lining, mingles
with the food, aids digestion,
gives tone and strength to the
whole system, and makes com-
plete and permanent cures in the
worst cases of stomach troubles.
If by chance Mi-o-na should
not give you perfect satisfaction
and do all that is claimed for it,
return the empty box to Smith
Bros. & Co. and they will refund
your money without question.
You are the sole judge. A 50c
box contains two weeks' treat-
ment, and this guarantee covers
two boxes.
