THE AMERICAN HORSE.

For the present this department of the
Register will be devoted to the interests
of the American Horse; and while we
are located at the center of the Morgan
Horse country and shall endeavor to
make this paper the organ of the Morgan
Horse Breeders of the country, we will
endeavor to do equal right and justice to
all and invite everyone having any items
of news pertaining to the general horse
interests of this or any other locality to
forward the same to G. A. Chapman,
Room 81, Battell Block, as the room
now occupied by the Sheep Breeders
association will for the present be used
for the horse headquarters and all local
and visiting horsemen are invited to
drop in Mondays and swap their horse
lore for a comfortable chair and a cor
dial welcome.
The locating of the Government Nor
gan Farm so close to Middlebury makes
it the Mecca of all lovers of the Morgans
and all others interested in the work of
many visitors to our TOW Ii. To all such
we cordially extend welcome, and in
vite them to make our office their head
quarters while in town and extend the
use of all the information at our disposal,
not only relative to the Morgan breed
but to all the standard records as well.
To our local horsemen and others at all
interestedwe ask and solicit your hearty
cooperation and support in the popular
language of the day it is cup to you" to
make this department a success. OF
course our main object is to attract visit
ors to our section and ultimately buyers.
and remember that when buyer comes
to us that if we haven't what he wants
that our neighbor may have, and that it
Is much better to have the buyers money
left with our neighbor than to be left in
some other community; that every buyer
that goes away satisfied brings two more
in the future, and it is far better to have
every one satisfied than to 20 away with
something that is going to be a disap-
pointment. Let us be generous and
charitable with our neighbor, for al
though we may not ourselves think so,
everybody else may have the opinion
that we need it more than he does. Now
as we haven't had time since undertake
ing this work to prepare any real horse
matter we will let these preliminary re-
marks stand for guide to what we
want to do. Trusting that you will all
assist us to make this department an in
teresting, newsy and instructive one, we
invite you again to send in all news items
without delay.
Very truly,

CURES CATARRH.
m. H. Sheldon Will Furnish The
Medicine Free In Every Case
Where They Fail To Cure
Catarrh.
' cry ITUIy,
c A. CHAPMAN.

Neglect or pessimism we believe is the
greatest enemy the public hava to con.
tend with when applied to the loss or re-
covery of health. Practically every case
OF consumption might have been cured il
nope had been maintained and proper
treatment had been resorted to at the
first symptom of the disease Until the
advanced stage is reached, consumption
is durable. Catarrh is responsible, we
believe, for every case of consumption.
1t Is about Catarrh we want to talk to
you today, incidentally consumption,
since the two are so closely allied.
We have a medicine made from the
prescription of one of the most successful
catarrh specialists known. This med
icine has record of 9S% of cures, and
we believe it is positively without an
equal We are so satisfied that we are
right, that we will supply the medicine
free in every instance where it is used
according to directions for reasonable
length of time and fails to cure and give
complete satisfaction in every particular.
We want everyone in Middlebury to try
this medicine at our risk. There are no
conditions or formality attache to our
offer. We put the user under no obliga-
lions whatever.
Inc medicine we want you to try is
Rexall Mucu-Tone. 1t ia catarrh
remedy that goes direct to the seat of
trouble. 1t is carried by the blood to
every part of the system. 1t seeks out
and destroys the germs or parasites which
cause Catarrh. 1t purifies and enriches
the blood. tones up the muco-cells,
soothes and heals the tissues that were
ravaged by the catarrhal parasite, and
brings about condition of health and
strength that prevents the germs of con.
sumption from ever getting start.
Besides this, Rexall Mucu tone is a won
derful appetizer, digestive aid and flesh
builder. Its good effects are felt from
the very first dose. 1t is one of largest
and most satisfactory selling medicines
that we have ever had anything to do
with. We know so much of the great
good that it has done that we personally
back 1t up with our reputation and
money, which fact should be ample guar
antee to satisfy anybody.
Rexall Mucu-Tone comes in two sizes,
DOC. and Sl.O0. We urge you to try it.
