N New Form of Insurance That Will
Appeal to Every Business Man.

The ordinary life insurance and fire

in order to get anything out of them.
Certainly not a ). very attractive
proposition.
The new thing in the insurance line
is far more satisfactory
Your health is the stake. But YOU
insure it in order to keep it--not to
lose it. A.
The policy consists of q package of
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. The pre-
MUM is % cents.
Keep your stomach i'll good order
and you will always be we'll.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets make
your stomach strong and healthy
make it possible for you to eat any
thing and everything without fear of
discomfort.
They not only keep you from de-
veloping stomach troubles, but they
cure them if already developed.
Try them. We stand back of them
with our guarantee to refund your
money if they fail to cure.
