Are Patent Medicines Frauds?
Many Druggists Asked the Above
 Question.
F. a. Fowler saya-"NO."

When asked the above question. Mir E. G. Fowler eontended that nothing that gave satisfactory results could be fraudulent. Do you believe" says Mir Fowler that I could afford to sell you something you don't want or that will depends on pleased customers-in fact any business does. Therefore, we would take an enormous risk did we not fulfll ever promise made our eus- guarantee, and when I do guarantee an article'I must know 1t pretty we'll what it contains and how 1t Is made. l have in mind the Rexall line of Feme- dies. particularly Rexall Mucu-Tone, of which l am selling large quantities at this time of the year. Mucu Tone is ono article that I can recommend over my counter, and know that ninety-eight per cent of its purchasers are going to be benefited and " III return to my store pleased customers MucuTone Is positive cure for internal scrofuIa or what is commonly called Catarrh. It is without a doubt the peer of all tonics for any one who is suffering from constantly tired or suffering from the more plainly described symptoms of Catarrh-such as. stopping of the nose. cold in the head or bad cough.
 Tt must be rememUered that CataFrh Is not confined to the nose and throat. It unusually starts there. but 1t leads more often to serious trouble. partieu- larly the wasting of tissues. as in the case of little Miss Dillon. of Albany. Here Is letter from her father;-
 My little girl had catarrh so badly that the disease had begun to eat into the cartilage of the nose. Snuffs and instruments failed to do more than give temporary relief. I saw the ad- vertisements of Mucu-Tone, but could not believe that anything taken in the stomach could cure the sore membranes of the nose. However. I took advant- age of your free trial offer and my girl began taking your remedy according to directions. want to say right here that Mueu-Tone Is certainly the great est medical discovery of the times, and to uhsnk you for the liberal offer that first induced me to give 1t trial. Mucu- Tone has cured my daughters catarrh completely The discharge has stop ped altogether and her breath is as sweet as can be. Again thankfng you" Matt. Dillon, 24 N. Swans St.. Albany, N. T..
