I. H. Thomas, Druggist, Offers to Cure
CO tarrh. The Medicine Costs
Nothing If They Fail.

When a medicine effects a cure in
9S per cent of cases, and when we
offer that medicine on our own per-
sonai guarantee that it will cost the
user nothing if it does not cure
catarrh, it is only reasonable that peo-
pL'. should believe us, or at least put
Cur claim to practical test when
We take all the risk. These are facts
which We want the people of Rock
Island to substantiate. We want them
to try Rexall Mucu-Tone, a medicine
prepared from prescription of ply
stefan whose speciality was catarrh
ard who has record of 30 years of
cures to his credit.
We sell more bottles and receive
more coed reports about Rexall Mucu-
Tone than we do of all other catarrh
r:medier sold in our store, and il more
psople only knew what thoroughly
dependable remedy Rexall Mucu-Tone
is, it would be the only catarrh medi-
cine we would have any demand for.
'Rexall Mucu-Tone is quickly alb
scr5ed and carried to the blood until

At the Majestic.-The Majestic the
ater, Chicago, for the week of Oct.
10 offers a splendid vaudeville pro-
gram, being what is usually known as
an "all star bill" The principal head
liner will be Ezra Kendall. the famous
humorist, who has delighted audi
encas in ell parts of the globe. For
the last four or five seasons Mr.. Ken
dali has been starring in the dramatic
houses, so his plans for producing a
new comedy were abandoned and he
now shines as one of the brightest
inal line of comedy talk, for which
he is justly noted, and in the east
where he has been appearing for sew
eral weeks it is said he has scored
the greatest hit of his long and sue
cessful career. A European importa-
ton seen here for the first time will
be Mile De Dio, the famous Partisan
dancer in her sensational triumph,
! "Terpsichore's Dream" with all its
| original electrical equipment. De Die
! is typically a French young woman
=. having the beauty and youth, and the
| yivacity that is supposed to be the
magnet for charming everyone who
comes into contact with her. Still an
other special vaudeville feature will
! be Homer Lind, late baritone with the
Henry w. Savage's "ParsifaI' company
and the Metropolitan Opera company
supported by his own company in the
musical classic entitled "The Opera
Singer" This engagement of tnis
famous singer is considered one of the
most important ever. known in the
history of vaudeville. Merians dogs
80 of them, present a pantomimt
playlet called "a Vision of Salome.
1t is very novel production, having
required over two years training o
the animals in order to achieve per
lection. Lyman Meyer has a cleve
number which is calico THE Man a
the Piano." and Foy and Clark will
offer their comedy act called ''In thu
Spring of Youth Peter Donald ant
Meta Carson will be amusing in thei
sketch called "Alex McLean's Dream
and the Frederick Musical trio hav'
/. a smart instrumental musical act
There are half a dozen other exper
and skilled people on the BILL whicl
is one of the best of the kind eve
offered anywhere.
