No Change Necessary
In RexaII Remedies

The new Pure Food Law requires every pat-7
ent medicine manufacturer to tell Just what dam
gerous drug is in his medicine. Certain period
icals interested in patent medicine reform have
declared that the formulas Of many patent medi-
cines will have to be changed before the manu-
facturers will dare conform with this law These
periodicals also declare that the public will never
know Of these changes, and never know what
these remediesgfoyme,zy contained.
This suspicion, however, cannot rest upon Rex
all Remedies You have absolute proof that
Rexal Remedies have not been changed to con-
form with the new Pure Food Law, because yo.
knea0 Tie formulas AEese,enaeaiss four gears ag0I
The Rexall formulas were ue0ey secret. The
thousand Rexal druggists have always known all
the Rexal formulas and given them to every Gus
toner who asked for them.
No one Rexall Remedy was ever claimed to {
be a "cure-alp' -each of the 800 remedies is de- /
signed to cure certain human ill-and does al. \
These 800 remedies were selected from among
thousands because they we're the most reliable
and successful cures in the world. Far from
wishing to conceal the formulas of these remedies,
proud to tell just what they are, and al
ways have been.
That's where the Rexall plan goes further to
safeguard you than does the Pure Food Law.
Even you'll only know the dangerous drugs
in other patent medicines, while you have always
been able to know the complete formulas of Rex
all Remedies
The Rexall guarantee has been the greatest
evidence of the sincerity back of the Rexall Rem
edes For four years Rexall druggists have
offered to return the money to any one who
brought back an empty Rexa bottle or package
and said they were not satisfied.
We, as of the Rexal druggists, feel gen.
uine satisfaction in having been able to supply
this community for four years with line Of
medicines which the United States Govern
ment by its new Pure Food Law shows
alavays made right and sold right, and have de-
served every bit of the faith you have had in
them.
The Pure Food Law may necesstate changes
in other medicines, but it only endorses Rexall
Remedies.
