Why We Deserve
Your Confidence

The Recall formulas haze Meier been Seeyek We
have always known them ourselves and have
oiven them to thousands of customers. Right
here is where Rexall Remedies have always done
more to protect you than. is even required
by the Pure Food and Drug Law.
You only know the dangerous drugs in other
remedies-the rest of their formulas are still
secret. You have always known e0e,Jzling n
every Rexall Remedy.
No Rexall Remedy is ''cure -al'-there are
300 different remedies-one for each human IN
the most reliable and successful remedy iot
that i'll proven by years of experience. We have
sold these Rexal Remedies upon the squarest
plan on which merchandise ever sold We
have guaranteed to return the money TO every
purchaser who came back with the empty bottle
or package and said that he or she was not salts
6ed-and we've never failed to live up to this
guarantee.
The Pure Food Law did not necessitate any
change in Rexall Remedies-on the contrary Il
has set the stamp of approval upon them. Best
of all, you can actually br0oe that Rexall Rene
dies are unchanged. You knez0 their formulas
four years ago, and you'll find them the same
todayl
Don't the Rexal Remedies deserve your con-
fdence? Wouldn't you more readily trust
man whom you had proved to be naturally hon
est than one who was honest because he had to
be? You know that Rexall Remedies have been
voluntarily manufactured and sold for four years
in the very way that the law now declares 10 be
the only right way.
