tributed to the Lack Of Good Health.
We want to talk to people who are
nervous, who suffer frequent headaches,
who don't enjoy their food, who are
irritable, quickly lose their temper, are
so tired and worn out that they feel
they must give up, and have become so
respondent that life doesn't seem worth
living. We know exactly what is the
matter with people in this condition,
and if they will follow our advice, we
can tell them how to regain good health
and that bouyancy Of feeling which
makes life seem all sunshine and hap
piness.
Most Of the above described condi-
lions are chiefly caused by catarrhal
Inflammation of the mucous mem
branes. This delicate web-like lining
Of the body becomes inflamed and con-
gested until weakness and mental de-
preston follows. The only way that
this can be overcome is thru treat
ment of the blood. We have the treat
ment, and we are so positive that it
will produce the results we claim for
it that we will s'spply it to anyone with
the understanding that we will return
ito them every penny they paid us in
every instance where the treatment is
not in every way satisfactory and bene-
| fetal to them.
We want you to try Rexall Mueu-
Tone, which is a powerful nutritive
tonic and body builder, and a mucous
membrane Alternative that cleanses
these membranes and restores their
natural and healthy functions.
Rexall Mucu Tone drives out all the
catarrhal poison, restores the mucous
cells to good health, tones up the whole
system, allays Inflammation, removes
congestion, and stimulates the whole
system to healthy activity. Tt is SPLEEN

Come to our store today and get a
bottle Of Mucu Tone, and after giving
1t a reasonable trial, if you are not sat

hand back your money without ques-
| ton. Surely, nothing could be more

liquor permit to Sidney L. Lee. the
Ventura druggist Overgaard was one
of the most prominent among those
who signed the remonstrance. and since
the permit was not granted, it Is
