CAUSES DEBILITY
Here Are Facts Backed Up By a Strong
Guarantee.

AA~AE ~ aNAo nANNN ~ ~ @hNhk
Guarantee.
Debility is caused by catarrh, In
our opiuiou, a person free from Ca
,arrh was never troubled with De
bility. Debility can never be cured
by medicine not designed to cure
Catarrh. We positively guarantee
to cure Catarrh, and thus cure De-
oility. In every case where we fail
20 effect a cure, we will not charge
a cent for the medicine employed
during the trial. Now. surely no one
should hesitate to believe us or 70
put our claim to a practical test UNI
der such conditions. We take all
the risk; no one else can lose any
thing by the transaction
We make these statements and
this offer because we know and have
time and again proved that Rexall
Mucu-rone win cure Catarrh. 1t is
designed for that one particular pur-
pose. 1t is not a cure-all prescribed
to cure every disease that flesh is
heir to. 1t is a specific. Rexall
Mucu-Tone is absorbed in the stom
ach and carried by the blood until II
penetrates every part of the body,
acting as %antiseptic, disinfecting,
cleansing, soothing aud healing
agent. 1t rids the system OF all
germ and poisonous matter, purifes
and enriches the blood, rebuilds in
iured tissues, cleanses and invigor-
ates the muco-cells, neutralizes the
acids of the body, stops mucus di
charge. tones up the entire system,
promotes nutrition, increases body
weight and brings about a feeling OF
healthtulness that is lasting.
We nave Rexall Mucn-Tone in two
sizes. Prices so cents and Sl.0O. We
urge you to try a bottle on our guar.
antee. Sold by Crenshaw & Young.

Chief Justice Fuller, who, with Bible
in hand. awaited Mr. Taft. the troops
massed in front Of the stand and
drawn up on two sides presented arms

as Mr. Taft repeated the words Of the
oath after Justice Fuller. and their
voices were plainly heard.
AS soon as Mr. Taft had spoken the
words which made him president Of
the United States he kissed the Bible
as the concluding act Of Inauguration,

occasion will hereafter repose in the
