Every Rexall Formula Is
Public Property-And
Always Has Been

This is an age Of inquiry Not since the
time Of the Civil War has there been so much
agitation in the minds Of the people on various
subjects
People "want TO know" about everything.
We do not say that the public has grown
skeptical-qutc the contrary. We believe it is
day and age Of enlightened intelligent inquiry
after facts.
Each man and each woman nowadays
wants to do his and her own thinking They are
not looking for any concentrated essence of wis
dom boiled down and given 10 them in capsule
form. They want 10 figure out for themselves
what is right, and what is wrong, and what to do
about it.
Public sentiment has forced the. government
oil the United States 10 pass law compelling
medicine manufacturers to state on their labels any
injurious ingredients their remedies may contain.
We believe that the Rcxall remedies have
had as much to do with the creation Of this senti-
ment as any other one single clement in the
country.
Why?
Simply because the Rexall remedies from
their inception several years ago started out on
an entirely new line.
The first principle in the Rcxall platform
was one remedy for each l-not crre.al.
Second-no secret combinations Every
formula has always been open to the public any
one can know what he is taking when he buys
RexalT7-and always could.
lhird-every Rexal remedy has been sold
on the basis of money back il you are not
more than satisfied.
This is frank square, open,handed business,
that's all. But made Rcxall the greatest success
in the medicine world in a very short time

prosperity to the $4,000 farmers OF
Maine, and, through them, to the
prosperity of the State? We are most
emphatically of the opinion that 1t
does. We believe that it has made
them better customers for our
merchants: has enabled them to con-
sumo more of the products of our mills,
thus contributing to their prosperity
and the higher wages of the people
employed in them, and has enapieo
them to enjoy in greater degree than
ever before the comforts and con-
veniences of life.
In view of these figures and the ill.,
precedented prosperity which the
farmers Of Maine are enjoying "H"'
petty business it is for the free trahe
editors of Maine to try to convince
Maine farmers that they are SUFFERING
from hard times because crowbar
which lasts a man lifetime is said to
cost q few cents more here In Maine
than il does in Europe!

Fortune Hunting Foreigners.

Tho consistency of European money
hunters cannot seriously be appreciat-
cd by Americans while there are
certain standards of manhood which
the average citizen of the republic
observes as q matter of course.
Edmund Kelley, a well known lawyer
who has been residing for some time
i'm Paris and who was attorney for
| Anna Gould in her divorce proceedings
against Boni de Castellane, has arrived
in New York from London and tells
some astonishing things about the
annoyances to which the countess has
been subjected since her divorce. He
says that she is even pursued by
creatures calling themselves men upon
the public streets. with proposals IF
marriage. 1t is true that these come
from fortune hunting relics of nobility
of which Europe has a large over
supply.
1t is no uncommon thing, according
TO MT. Kelley, Tor the former MISS
Gould while out driving to have some
''Scion of noble blood press forward
and thrust an effusivc proposal of
marriage into her hand. Two mail
carriers are necessary each day to
convey to her secretary the missives
addressed to the countess. While
many of them are from professional
beggars who make a practice of pursu-
ing the rich with opportunities of
various kinds. many others are from
impecunious counts, princes, marquises
and dukes. 1t would seem as if the
best thing that the countess can do
would be to return, TO her native land
where she can at last be free from
tails the falling of few hundred
titled foreigners who may pursue her
across the ocean.
History has shown conclusively
that American girls who sell them
selves for n foreign title by marrying
some decadent offspring of European
nobility have lived to regret their
folly. The best title in all the world
is the grand old title of American
citizen.
