Are Patent
Medicines Frauds?

We are often asked the above
question, and our answer has in
variably been that no medicine
that gives satisfactory results
could be fraudulent. We could
not afford to sell fraudulent medi-
cines. Our business depends on
pleased customers-in fact any
business does. Therefore, we
would take an enormous risk did
we not fulfil every promise made
our customers. We are very care
full Of what we guarantee, and
when we do guarantee an article
we must know it pretty we'll
what it contains and how it is
made. We have in mind the Rex
all line of remedies, particularly
Rexall Mucu-Tone, of which we
are selling large quantities at this
time Of the year. AIucu-Tone is
one article that we can recommend
over our counter and know that
ninety-eight per cent. of its pur-
chasers are going to be benefited
and will return to our store
pleased customers. Mucu-Tone
is positive cure for internal
scrofula or what is commonly
called Catarrh. 1t is without a
doubt the peer of all tonics for
any one who is suffering from
rundown condition, can't work.
feels 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"
1t mist be remembered that Ca
tarrh is not confined to the nose
and throat. 1t usually starts
there, but it leads more often to
serious trouble, particularly 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. Snuffj and instruments
failed to do more than give tenn
porary relief. saw the adver-
tisements of Rexall Mucu- Tone,
but | could not believe that ANY,
thing taken in the stomach could
cure the sore membranes Of the
nose. However, | took advan-
tage of your free trial offer and
my girl began taking your remedy
according to directions. want
to say right here that Mucu-T Tone
IS certainly the greatest medical
discovery of the times. and to
thank your Tor the liberal offer
that first induced me to give it
trial. Muco-Tone has cured my
daughters catarrh completely.
The discharge has stopped alto
gether, and her breath is as sweet
as can be. Again thanking you,
MATT. DILLON, "a N. Swan ST.,
Albany, n. Y"
We are selling large trial bot
tie of MucuTone for fifty cents
on the famous Rexall guarantee
of your money back if you are not
satisfied. We promise that one
bottle will put flesh on your bones
and bring new vitality to your
system.

The best way to rid the system of
cold is to evacuate the bowels. Ken

One would think the Laxative idea
in a cough syrup should have been
advanced long before it was. 1t seems
the only rational remedy for Coughs
and Colds would be to move the bowels
and clean the Mucous membranes of
the throat and lungs at the same
time Kennedy's Laxative Honey and
Tar does this. 1t is the Original Lax
ative Cough Syrup, the best known
remedy for coughs, colds, Group.

A REASON

The Unite Drug
Z m any, manufac-
turers of the Rexall
Remedies, for W h ose
preparations we are
agents in this city, make
200 remedies, one for
each i'll. Each one is
especially prepared to
cure one disease, and
that only. This is an
age of specialists. You
don't contract with a
plumber to build your
whole house, do you?
Why should you contract
wit h one proprietary
medicine to cure all your
troubles?
Oftentimes you run
across a building con-
tractor who has a sepa-
rate plumbing depart
ment, his own plastering
department, and so on,
all of which dovetail to-
gether and build the
house. This is just what
the United Drug Com
pany is doing for you
in the medicine line.
They have cut down
profits; they manufac-
ture Rexall Remedies for
over 1000 retail drug
gists. These druggists
are the only intermediate
profit that stand between
The United Drug Com
pany and the patient.
Could the United Drug
Company, of which we
are a member, afford to
make one poor medicine
in this line? Does not
common sense tell you
that one poor medicine
would ruin the sale of
the other 100 prepare
tions? IL you bought a
Rexall preparation and it
didn't do for you what
we claim it will, would
you buy another one of
our articles? We believe
not. Therefore each
preparation must be good
it is good. We who
are in the drug business
know the formulas of
these Rexall prepara-
tons. We believe in
them so implicitly that
we stand back of them,
with our guarantee to
refund you your money
if they do not benefit
you.

HONEST by COMPARISON.
Ordinary Gambling ContrRstcd with
Business Extortion.

Kansas City star.
Ordinary gambling is regarded as a low
vice There are laws against the evil in
every state and every city. The common
gambler is held in contempt by decent
people. Even speculative business, as fol-
lowed by some. is not held in the best re-
pute. There is not much difference, of
course, on betting on the speed OF horses
and betting on the price of wheat. But in
all forms of gambling the man who does
not play fair is Outlawed. even by his own
class.
But gambling at it's best is more honest
than those business practices that make
extortion a "sure thing" And gambling
at it's worst is better than arbitrary ex-
tortion at its best. The man who stacks
the cards. who switches to a "cold deck"
who plays with marked aces, who hires a
stable boy to dope" a race horse or who
otherwise cheats at gaming takes the risk
of being found out and ruled from the
game. At most he Injuries only those who
voluntarily play at chance. His oppor-
, tunities for cheating are limited. The suf-
fering he causes is never widespread
on the other hand the man who manipu-
lates line of business in such way as
to give himself undue advantage of his
competitors, who gains control of neces-
sary commodity, who uses his advantage
to eXtort unreasonable and burdensome
tribute from the people, and who often
, defies the law in his practices, is a much
worse enemy to society than the man who
cheats at cards. He Injuries a whole COM
munity, a whole state or a whole nation
according to the extent of his operations
He plays the game of business skillfully
and justifies impositions by reasoning that
others would do the same thing under
had his skill and his capital He sur
passes the gambler in avarice. The aver
age gambler is not avaricious. He plays

Ho, the blossom petals drifting In tho

And the forests flaming greener for their

For the good old earth is rolling to the
