MILLIONS OF LIVES LOST.
The Awful Toll Collected by Con
sumption.

If people could only understand
that Catarrh is an internal scrofula-
that nothing applied externally does
much good-they would not need to
be warned so often about this fatal
disease, which, when neglected, in
variably ends up in Consumption, at
the cost of millions Of lives every
year. Yet Catarrh is easily cured if
the right treatment is employed.
Catarrh is caused by germs IN the
blood which circulate throughout the
entire system. External remedies give
but temporary ease. Although the ef-
fects are often seen in the form Of
pimples, rash, eczema or dry scaly
skin, the trouble is internal, and can
never be cured by external remedies:
The only way to cure Catarrh is by
employing medicine which is absorb
ed and carried by the blood to all
parts Of the system, so that the mu-
cous membrane or internal lining OF
the body is thoroughly medicated,
soothed, disinfected of germ matter,
and the soreness healed.
We have a remedy prepared from
the prescription Of physician who
for thirty years studied and made Ca
tarrh a speciality and whose record
of success was a cure in every case
where his treatment was followed as
prescribed. That remedy is Rexall
Mucu-Tone. We are so positive that
it will cure 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 to cure Or for any
reason does not satisfy the user.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone on our recommendation and
guarantee. We are right here where
you live, and you do not contract any
OBLIGATION or risk when you try Rexall
Mucu-Tone on our guarantee. We have
Rexal Mucu-Tone in two sizes. The
prices are soc. and $1.00. Very often
the SOC. size effects a cure. Of course,
in chronic cases a longer treatment Is
necessary. The average in such IN
stances is three $1.00 bottles. Glider
