The Whiting high school orchestra
was first organized under the direc-
ton of DR.. r. E. Humphreys, which
was a little over two years ago At
this time there were only eight mem

interest and time he took in working
for the benefit of the high school.
Last year Mr.. Humphreys. having
other duties to attend to, was com
PEELED to sever his connection and it

a Bold step.

To overcome the well-grounded and
reasonable objections Of the more intel
ligent to the use of secret, medicinal COM
pounds, DR.. r. Y. Pierce, of Buffalo, N
Y. some time ago, decided to make bold
departure from the usual course pursued
by the makers of put-up medicines for do
mestic use, and, so has published broad
cast and openly to the whole world, full
and complete list Of all the ingredients
entering inSS-the imposition of his widely
celebrated hedicMes. Thus he has taken
his numere1s patrons and patients into
his full E0n6&ence. Thus too he has re-
moved his/medicines from among secret
nostrRD&of doubtful merits, and made
themkRenledieS Of K7lOlD1l Composition.
BY this bold stem DR.. Pierce has shown
thai bls formulas are Of such EXCELLENCE
thai be IS not -atEald to subject them 70
the fullest scrutiny.
Not only does the wrapper of every bottle
of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. the
famous medicine for weak stomach. torpid
liver or biliousnesS and all catarrhal diseases
wherever located, have printed upon it. IN
plain English. a full and complete list of all
the ingredients composing It. but small
book has been compiled from numerous
standard medical works. Of all the different
schools OF practice, containing very numer-
Gus extracts from the writings Of leading
practitioners OF medicine, endorsing In the
strongest possible terms. each and every ingre-
dent contained in DIR. Pierce's medicines.
One of these little books will be mailed free
to any one sending address on postal card or
by letter, to DR.. r. V. Pierce, Buffalo. N. Y.
and requesting the same. From this little
book it will be learned that DR.. Pierce's med
icines contain no alcohol. narcotics, mineral
agents or other poisonous or injurious agents
and that they are made from native, medici-
nal roots of great value; also that some OF
the most valuable ingredients contained in
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for weak.

scription was known to the Indians as

INTERESTING FACTS
Kaufman & Wolf Offer to Cure Ca
tarrh-The Medicine Costs
Nothing If They Fail.

When a medicine effects a cure in 90
per cent of cases, and when we OFFER
that medicine on our own personal
guarantee that it will cost the user
nothing If it does not cure Catarrh. it
is only reasonable that people should
believe us, or at least put our claim
to a practical test when we take all
the risk. These are facts which we
want the people of Hammond to sub
stantiate. We want them to try Rex
all Mucu-Tone. a medicine prepared
from a prescription of a physician
whose speciality was Catarrh, and who
has a record Of thirty years OF cures
to his credit
We sell more bottles and receive
more good reports about Rexall Mucu-
Tone than we do of all other catarrh
remedies sold in our store, and If
more people only knew what thor
oughly dependable remedy Rexau
Mucu-Tone is, it would be the only
catarrh medicine we would have any
demand for.
RexaI Mucu Tone is quickly alb
sorbed and carried by the blood until

When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount Of
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount of
air. The result is shortness of
breath, smothering spells, diff
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
in chest. DR.. Miles Heart Rem
edy strengthens the heart nerves
and muscles, and in this way
increases the circulation.
