Catarrh will never get better of its

because Catarrh is caused by germs

remedies give temporary ease, but
Catarrh is not an external disease,
even though the effects are often
seen in the form of pimples, rash,
eczema or dry scaly skin, and will
never be cured by external remedies
Catarrh is caused by germ, and
must be cured by a remedy that first
of all destroys the germs. That
remedy is Rexall Mucu- Tone, pre-
pared from the prescription of a ply,
sician whose specially for thirty years
was Catarrh, and whose record of
success was - every case cured.
| am not at all surprised at this
record for Mucu-Tone, because it is
entirely different to any other rem
edy for Catarrh l ever sold or you
ever bought. Mucu-Tone first of all
destroys the germs of Catarrh,
and, at the same time = as its very
name implies = tones the mucous
