qualities that adorned her life. For
some As years she was a member of

Narrow Escape from the Burning Of
Farm Buildings.

There was narrow escape from
| the burning of the buildings at Lo-
renzo Leach's place Sunday morning
from the burning out of a chimney,
The first intimation the family had OF
danger" was when Mrs. Leach. VINO
was in another part of the house,
smelled smoke and went at once 70
the sitting room where picture,
which hung near the chimney, was
burning from the overheated flue.
Help was called. Il. p. Squiers, his
hired man and Harry Reed were on
hand and In short time had the fire
extinguished. There was quite a little
damage done TO partitions, floors, car
pets, etc. but the timely discovery
was most fortunate as the buildings
are all connected and we have. no
protection whatever against fire in
this place, especially when everything
is frozen up.

Rexall Medical News
Bad Blood

Catarrh is distinctly bad-blood
disease. The external signs are
Enthusiastically shown by Eruptions,
Pimples, Dry Scaly Skin, Rash and
Eczema. This condition might
naturally be expected, since, in fact,
Catarrh is an internal scrofula, de-
stroying the tissues just as surely
as does scrofula on the skin.
The trouble is people do not see
what is going on inside and they are
inclined to let it 60 from bad to
worse, until there is breaking down
of the entire system, with loss of
appetite, general weakness and de-
bility, no ambition to go about as
before, and presently consumption
takes hold. The time to remedy
the trouble is when it is Catarrh,
and the remedy to usa should be a
special prescription for Catarrh.
That remedy is Rexall Mucu-Tone.
We sellmore bottles and hear more
good reports about Mucu- Tone than
we doof all the other Catarrh remedies
in our store, but the reason is not
hard to understand. Mucu-Tone is
designed specially to cure Catarrh,
being prepared from the prescription
of a physician whose specially was
Catarrh for thirty years. Now do
you wonder that Mucu-Tone cures
Catarrh? Wedont. Thatithas cured
ninety-eight per cent of the people to
whom we sold it is no surprise, be-
cause it works in a sensible, scientific
way, destroying the deadly parasites
that float through the blood in the
system, and which spread 1.-The trouble.
Then, as its very name implies, it
tones the mucous tissues = the
tissues that are being ravaged by the
catarrhal parasites - and there is
new life and tone in every drop of
blood and every cell in your body.
1t adds weight to rundown people.
We have large trial size of Mucu-
Tone at fifty cents per bottle, and we
guarantee it to give satisfaction or
refund the money you pay u.s.
