New York, April 4.--Rev. DR.. Isaac X.
Funk of this city declares that he has
had spiritual communication with Henry
Ward Beecher. that he looked into the
face of the dead preacher and talked With
him a few nights ago. DR.. Funk asserts
that he saw the clear outline of Mr.
Bcecher's head and shoulders and that the
ghost told him that he had work to do
and that it would be made clear to him in
time. Strange and almost 7uncanny as
were DR.. Funks statements concerning
the famous clergyman. still more weird
were his minute details of conversation
with an another and an unknown ghost.
This also took place. in Brooklyn. He says
| that both Mr.. Beecher and the unknown
visitor revealed many secrets of life on
the other side The ghost, according to
Dr., Funk, declared that all inventions now
In use in the world were first of all dis
covereds elsewhere. No discovery that
helps to uplift the race but has first of all
been tested in the spirit land. When dis
coveries are perfected, the ghost said, he
and his fellows go about the world look
! ing for a mind in a receptive mood for the
secret. The progress Of ghosts in the
| higher life was revealed also, and to DR..
| Funk's ears came the cheering words that
| be the time long short, the very mean
est subliminal self finally begins to grow
better.

There has never been any question in

Merit. Mr. Thomas Voegei tells us,
has had much consideration in the

With each package bearing the name
Rexall is a warrant, under the personal
signatu re of the firm. to refund price
| Of purchase if the remedy does not full
fill all that is claimed for it. According
| to the statement of the firm, they do moi
| want money from those who are not ben

| their wish to refund the money, which,
| they claim. belongs to the purchaser.
There seems to be no humbug about this
| guarantee; it appears to be absolute and
| unequivocal.
| Speaking of the free distribution OF
600 packages Of ReXall Dyspepsia Tab
let's, Mr.. Voegel said:
There is much dyspepsia in and around
| Minneapolis, and We want every one TO
know about Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets.
We have such great faith in the curative
properties of this preparation that We
took this distribution as one means or
introduction. When one person is re-
lieved or cured he will tell his friends
and neighbors, and this free distribu-
ton will at once show merits of the rem
edy.'
We feel that the Voegeli Brothers COM
nany are to be congra tulated on their
methods. and we predict success for the
Rexall preparations. Their warrant is so

= it. No one could afford to offer such a
! broad guarantee if they were not abso-
lutely certain of the quality of their goods.
1 The guarantee means simply this. YOU
