CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY
New Discovery Has RevolutiOnized
the Treatment of Skin Diseases.


the Treatment of Skin Diseases.
Nothing in the history of medicine has
ever approached the success of the mar
velc US skin remedy known as poslam.
" hich, 1t is safe to say, has cured more
cases of eczema and skin diseases than
any remedy ever offered for these Ills.
The success OF poslam is not-at all
surprising when 1t is considered that
even a very small quantity applied to
the skin stops itching Immediately and
cures chorDic cages in two weeks. Th9
very worst cases of eczema, as well as
acne, herpes, letter, piles, salt rheuin,
rash, crusfed humors. scaly scalp and
every form of itch, yield to it readily.
Blemishes such as pin1ples, red noses,
muddy and tnfiamed skin disappear al
most Immediately when posiam is ap-
piled, the complication being cleared
over night.
Every druggist keeps both the 50-cent
size (for minor troubles) and the - jar,
and either of these may be obtained in
Topeka at the Rosser Drug Co. and
Fred A. Shows, as well as other reli-
able drug stores.
But no one is even asked to purchase
poslam without first obtaining an ex-
perimental package which will be sent
by mail, free of charge, upon reques.

CAUGHT UNPREPARED.
Much Suffering in the Track of Yester-
days Blizzard.

Duluth, Mimi. Oct. ia continuance
of yesterdays blizzard was maintained
today at the head of the lakes. A cut
ting wind, driving in from Lake Super
ior, with constant hurries of snow and
1ce-clad pavements brought about a
December appearance.
Much delay is being experienced by
shipping on the lake. Big freiGhters out
in the n water since yesterday have
rot attempted to-pass into the bay fear
ing collision with the concrete piers at
the government channel.
On the range the blizzard has been
general with reports of foot and more
of snow at various places. The sudden
change in temperature is causing suf-
fering there to those caught without
coal. Live stock is also suffering from
the cold.

NAvAIHosPrrAL IN PHILIPPINES
Will Be Located at Baguio in the
Mountains.

Manila. Oct 12.-Captafn Giles B. Har-
Der of the United States navy has selected
as the site for the new naval sanitarium.
the town of Baguio. the mountain capital
of Benguet. in the Island of Luzon. Sixty
acres are expected to be occupied before
the completion of the sanitarium The
selection of this site probably will lead
to the abandonment of the naval hospital
at Yokohama.
In December, 1900. the Philippine COM
mission proposed the construction of a
government railroad forty-nine miles long
the Manila railroad, to Raguio. and the
establishment there of a sanitarium for
troops serving in the Philippines, to avoid
sending them to the United States or
Japan for recuperation.

Millions of
Lives Lost
An Awful Toll Collected by
Consumption. Many I'm
necessary Deaths from
this Disease

If people could only understand that
systematic catarrh is an internal dis
ease that external applications cannot
cure, they would not need to be warn
ed so often about this malady, which,
when neglected, paves the way often
times for consumption. at the cost of
millions OF lives every year. Yet ca
tarrh may be cured. if the right treat
ment is employed.
Catarrh is caused by a general dis
eased state of the system which leads
commonly to annoying and perhaps
serious local conditions. which may
prove fertile breeding ground for
germs of consumption. External reme-
dies give but temporary ease.
The only way to successfully treat
catarrh is by employing a medicine
which is absorbed and carried by the
blood to all parts Of the system so
that the mucous membrane or internal
lining of the body is toned up and made
capable of resisting the infection of
consumption and other diseases.
We have a remedy prepared from the
prescription of a physician who for
thirty years studied and made catarrh
a speciality, and whose record was
patient restored to health in every case
where his treatment was followed as
prescribed. That remedy is Rexall
Mucu-Tone. We are so positive that it
will completely overcome .catarrh in all
its various forms. whether acute or
chronic. that we promise to return every
penny paid us for the medicine in every
case where it fails or for any reason
Goes not satisfy the user.
We want you to try RexalI Mucu-
Tone on our recommendation and guar
antee. We are right here where you
live, and you do not contract any OBJ
legation o. risk when you try Rexall
Mucu-Tone on our guarantee. We have
Rexall Mucu-Tone in two sizes, so cents
and $1.00. Very often the taking of
one 50cent bottle is sufficient to make
marked impression upon the case
OF course in chronic cases a longer
treatment is necessary The average in
such instances is three $100 bottles
Remember you can obtain Rexall Rem
edies in Topeka only at our store-The

Headache
For Years

"I keep DR.. Miles Anti-Pain
Pills on hand all the time, and
would not think of taking
Journey without them, no mat
ter how short a distance I am
going. l have a sister that has
had terrible headaches for years,
and / coaxed her to try them
and they helped her so much,
she now keeps them by her all
the time. From my own exper-
fence l cannot praise them
enough"
MRS. LOU M. CHURCHILL,
63 High ST., Penacook, N. H.
Many persons have headache
after any little excitement or ex-
ertion. They cannot attend
church, lectures, entertainments,
or ride on trains without suffer
ing. Those who suffer in this
way should try DR.. Miles Anti
Pain Pills. They give almost
instant relief without leaving
any disagreeable after-effects, as
they do not derange the stomach
or bowels; just a pleasurable
sense of relief follows their use.
Get a package from your drug
gist. Take it according to direc-
tions, and if it does not benefit
he will return your money.
