Colds

Lots of people look at cough or
cold as if it were inevitable, and refer
to it as some ailment, which they
naturally expect during the stormy
winter months. No person need
have the slightest attack of cold or
la grippe, nor even pneumonia, if
their system is properly fortified.
RExALL MUCU-ToNE will fortify your
system against any such attacks.
Since ] make this strong statement
l will tell you how Mucu-Tone
does this: Coughs, colds and pneu-
monia are but the result of a ca
tarrhal condition, which is in
reality an internal scrofula. If the
system is free of catarrhal germs you
need never fear coughs, colds and
pneumonia. Mucu-Tone will do it
because Mucu-Tone clears the sys-
tenn of every trace of catarrh al
germs, tones up the system, shakes
off hanging on tag-end coughs and
colds, revitalizes the entire system,
increases the appetite and makes
you put on flesh. You take no
chances in buying Mucu-Tone, be-
cause back it up by refunding the
price if you are in any way dis
satisfied. | couldn't afford to spend
my time selling this remedy if it
didn't benefit ninety-eight out of
