THE CAUSE OF COLDS
Good Advice Regarding the Prevention
of Coughs and Colds.

of Coughs and Colds.
If people would only properly fortify
and strengthen their system, about 9S
per cent of coughs, colds and pneu-
monia might be avoided. These troub-
les are simply the result of weakness,
which produces a catarrhal condition
of the mucous membrane, which is as
an internal skin OF the body. When
this skin is weakened it becomes in
fected with germs which are carried
through the system by the blood.
These parasites attack and break these
delicate tissues and set up a soreness
which produce what is in reality an ex-
ternal scrofula.
The only thing that will cure coughs
and colds and prevent pneumonia is
a medication which is absorbed and
carried by the blood so that the dis
eased membrane is disinfected, clean
ed. soothed and healed
We have a remedy which we hon.
estly believe infallable and .unsurpass-
able for the prevention and cure of
coughs, colds and all catarrhal condi-
tions. 1t is the prescription of fam
Gus physician, who has an enviable
reputation of so years of cures gained
through the use of this medicine. We
promise to either effect a cure in
every case or make no charge for the
medicine. We urge everybody in Rock
Island who has need of such a medi-
cine to try Rexall Mucu-Tone.
1t stands to reason that we could
not afford to make such statements and
give our own personal guarantee to
this remedy if we were not absolutely
positive that We could substantiate our
claim in every particular, and We see
no reason why anyone should hesitate
to accept our offer and try it. We
have two sizes of Rexall Mucu-Tone.
Prices SO cents and 81. Sometimes a
so cent bottle is sufficient for a cure
AS general thing, the most chronic
case is cured with an average of three
large bottles. Remember, the medi-
cine will cost you nothing if you are
not satisfied in every particular. T. H.

written as the subject of his verses,
Memories and Longings," and dealt
with the unrelenting call of death.

Last Poem, of Dead Mar,
Like Message From Craze

Those lustrous stars, to me each night,
l know my soul would soar and sing.
Not in the weak and hating strains;
But, moved to music, full and free,
My song. unmarried by earthly stains,
Would greet the very stars and thee.
With thee who vast my hearts delight
When in the happy days gone by,
sat beneath those wonders bright
Without a thought that Death lurked
nigh.
Grim Death, whose unrelenting call
We have no choice but to obey.
Why should his blight upon thee fall
And from my life wrest thee away?
What grief 1 knew, what pain l felt
When thou vert laid within the tomb!
When at thy grave alone l knelt.
No ray of sunshine pierced the gloom.
But all things. even sorrows. end;
For time allays the deepest pain,
Altho it seemed that grief would rena
My heart and life itself in twain
Some nights l walk along the shore.
Where rolling pillows sport and play;
But, thinking of the days of yore.
Ny spirit wanders far away.
