His reply is that many people would

The consent gained by Secretary

probably not expected by him to yield

the war broke out, both ports were

We say to you positively and

Now, we can't afford to allow

SOME OF OUR REASONS.
Let us give you some of our
reasons for talking so earnestly
about Rexall Mucu-Tone-
You know that our bodies are
lined with a thin, web-like skin
called the mucous membrane. 1t
begins in the nose and mouth and
extends down the throat through
the stomach, intestines and blao-
der. 1t also covers the liver and
kidneys: and in women, the pelvic
organs
Now this membrane is COM
posed of millions of tiny cells
6ucd with fluid called mucous,
which is Z sort of lubricant for the
various organs. If a few of these
cells should become choked up
and unable to supply this fluid, 1t
would cause sickness; if most OF
them were so affected it would
cause death
