NEW YORK, Feb. IS.-Noon.-There
was a little better feeling on the New

are selling at a low price but the pub
lie has no use for securities, preferring
10 place their investments in almost
anything rather than stocks. That this
condition is likely 10 prevail until after
the Chicago convention is generally be-
iieved. and perhaps, until after the
election. The general trend Of opinion
on the Street is that the next candI-
date OF the dominant party viii i'm
mediateIy forsake anti-business pol
lcIes, so soon as nomination is sure.
Wall Street would prefer any OF the
known candidates TO the reelection OF
the present incumbent OF the highest

Causes Debility.
Here Are Facts Backed Up By a
Strong Guarantee.

Debility is caused by catarrh. In our
opinion, person free from Catarrh was
never troubled with Debility. Debility
can never be cured by medicine not de-
signed to cure Catarrh. We positively
guarantee to cure Catarrh, and thus
cure Debility. In every case where we
fail to effect cure we will not charge a
cent for the medicine employed during
the trial. Now. surely no one should
hesitate to believe US or to put our claim
to a practical test under such condi-
tions. We take all the risk; no one else
can lose anything by the transaction.
We make these statements and this
offer because we know and have time
and again proved that Rexall Muco-
Tone will cure Catarrh. 1t is designed
for that one particular purpose. 1t ia
not cure-all prescribed to cure every
disease that flesh 10 heir to. 1t is
spec fl. Rexall Muco-Tone Is absorbed
in the stomach and carried by the blood
until ii penetrates every part of the
body, acting as an autiseptic, disinfect-
ing, cleansing, soothing and healing
agent. 1t rids the system OF all germ
and poisonous matter, purifes and ems
riches the blood, rebuilds injured tissues,
cleanses I'd iuvigorates the muco-cells,
neutratizes the acids of the body, stops
mucus discharge, tones up the entire
system, promotes nutrition, Increases

of healthfulness that Is lasting.
