committed here "Wednesday night. The

house on South Twenty-sixth street, by
Lung Chang, who says he is her hus-
band. Lung Chang told the officers
that he was unable to sleep and left
home about 1890 in the evening and
spent the greater portion Of the
nj sht with other Cinnamon. He re-
turned to the, house at 4 in the morn

We know many ch~onic sufferers
from bad colds and tae grip, and
a number of them at ou+ suggestion
have tried Rexall Mucl Tone and
have found that a bad cold cannot
hang on long when Mucu-Tone is
used regularly.
There is a lot Of good common
sense in the Mucu-Tone plan of
breaking up this disease. A bad
cold or the grip is due to an in
Aammation Of the mucous mem
brane, the delicate inner skin of
the entire body. Catarrh is the
name by which this disease is
usually known.
Mucu-Tone is a constitutional
remedy-by that we mean that it
works through the blood to every
part of the body. 1t is a safe,
quick-acting tonic, and the first
dose causes the blood to move
vigorously. This action reyives
the activity of the tiny muco-cells,
and enables them to throw off the
poison caused by the inflammation.
In addition to its tonic proper
ties, Mucu-Tone contains medicines
that soothe the sore membranes
and repair the damage caused by
the disease.
At the first appearance of a cold
you should begin taking Mucu-
Tone. A tablespoonful before
2 each meal, and at bedtime. Per
sist in this for a. few days, and
your bad cold - will not occur.
i If you can go through one season
without a severe attack, the
chances are that you will find
yourself in better condition next
year to resist the disease.
