The Rectum, It's importance

The Rectum is one OF the most mpOrtant
organs of the body.
Through IT "a large portion of the waste,
etlete, and poisonous matter generated In
the system is expelled.
When the functions OF this organ are inter-
iered with, these poisonous elements are re-
tanned in the system, poisoning the blood,
ciogging the glands. impairing nutrition and
assimilation and engendering diseases that

nervous system, rheumatism, Neuralgia,
Catarrh, diseases of the heart, liver, kidneys

fecal matter In the rectum, caused by inter-

The Grinnell (Iowa) Herald of Nov. % ::
John Tufts WAS born at Athens, Me-,
March "a. 1908, and died at GriDnell,
Nov. 10, at 10 O'Clock p. IN. It will thus

family he moved to Iowa, and In 1877
moved TO Grinnell. During the % years
Of his residence here he had been very

joyed wide acquaintance. In his early
life 10 Maine he was frequently honored
with public Office serving as constable,

There's nothing succeeds like success,
as evidenced by the fact that the great
Boston Herald, grstified by the results
obtained from the publication Of 1.-The
Best Woman's Page in America" In the
evening edition, has decided to give the
readers of the morning edition the ad-
vantage Of this great feature. Here
after. readers OF the morning edition OF
The Boston Herald will find 1.-THE Best
Woman's Page In America" as attractive
as the readers OF the evening edition
have In the past. No such effort Is put
forth by any newspaper in the country
10 catering to that great class OF news
paper readers; certainly no paper has
made such reputation 10 this field.
The woman's page OF The Boston Her
aid contains the news of the fashion
world, which Ia contributed by expert
fashion writers 10 Paris, New York ard
Boston, and Herald staff artists In these
great centres sketch the freshest ideas In
fashion lore. Mrs. Lincoln and Mrs.
Martha Taft Wentworth furnish fresh
hints for the home, and recipes at once
new, reliable and practical. Home
dressmaking ia one Of the new features,
and should afford great satisfaction TO
those who prefer to design their own
apparel. This page Is but one feature
of New EnglaDd's greatest newspaper.
Every other feature which has con-
tributed to the great respect In which
The Herald Ia held, is maintained at the
high standard of excellence which has
made 1t famous. Readers Of The Boston
Herald are always well Informed upon
all the topics OF the times, and all the
news of the day.
