TURN WOMEN
AWAY FROM DRUGS
DANGEROUS Stimulants No Longer Needed
-Rexall Mucu-Tone Brings Per.
manent Health and Viaoe

"My husband worries SO. Doctor. you
simply must give me something to key
me up-something that will make me
bright and cheerful when he comes homo
at night"
Thousands Of unfortunate women arc
In just this position-women who arc
rapidly breaking down in body and whose
minds are becoming dark and dull with
suffering and despair.
They have tried to fight off Ill health;
have struggled to keep up in spite of pain
and weakness that their husbands should
not guess their condition.
At last comes day when they can do
this no longer. Their strength is gone;
their will power no longer strong enough
to carry them through. So they turn to
druggist and DOCTOR, not. for slow acting
tonics that will gradually restore health,
but for some drug that will give tempo
rary strength-that will key them up
that will make them Upright and cheer
full for even a few hours.
The result of such q course needs no
comment. How different it would have
been had they turned; to, Rexsll Mucu-
Tone instead of drugs. From the first
dose Muc,l- Tones strengthening influence
is felt-but instead of running mind and
body, it restores both to health and vigor.

Most farm machines are used
