ADVICE TO WOMEN
A Message From q Famous Beauty
Specialist to Women Lacking
in Energy and Vitality.

Thousands Of women vainly attempt
to improve their complexion and
to remove blackbeads, crows feet and
other blemishes, through the use Of
cosmetics. This treatment fails be-
cause the trouble lies far deeper than
the skin They are suffering from Inn
pure and impoverished blood. This
condition is in many cases due to a
catarrhal condition Of the whole sys-
tenn which finds its expression in sal
low, muddy complexion, dark-circled
eyes, general weakness of the system,
and perhaps most plainly in the weep
ing OF mucous membranes that is COM
monty called catarrh.
In fact this whole tendency is, prop
erly speaking, catarrh. Danish this
catarrh, and the complexion win clear
as II by magic, eyes will brighten,
faces become rosy and shoulders erect.
Perfect beauty goes only with perfect
health, and perfect health for women
can only be obtained through one GER
tain treatment-that which will cure
catarrh.
Nine. Swift, New York, the famous
beauty specialist known throughout
the world and an accepted authority
on all relating thereto. states that the
one positive and permanent relief for
catarrh is Rexall Mucu-Tone. Here
is her letter:
II can strongly endorse the claims
made for Rexall Mucu-Tone as cure
for systemic .catarrh. It's tonic eff
fects are remarkable. It builds up
the strength and restores vitality, If
women who are tired and run down,
lacking in energy and vitality, will
use Rexall Mucu.Tone, they will praise
as do its strengthening and healing
qualities"
Rexall Mucu-Tone works through
the blood, acting thus upon the mu-
cous cells-the congestion and in.
fammatIon Of which causes local ca
tarrh. This remedy causes poison to
be expelled from the system, and the
blood is purified and revltalized. Thus
the natural functions of the mucous
cells are restored, and the membranes
are cleansed and made strong. We
know that Rexall Mucu-Tone does
relieve catarrh. We positively guaran-
tee to refund the money paid us for
this remedy In every case where the
user is dissatisfied. It is a builder of
vigorous health and a creator of good
compilations. Price 80 cents and $1.0O
per bottle. Mail orders filed. II may
be obtained only at our store--The

looking over the entire field for sue

could find no one whom it believed
was better qualified to handle the i'm

LIFE OF A PiMPLE
Compilations are Cleared and PimpIes
Disappear Overnight Without
Trouble,

The dispensers of poslam. a new
skin discovery, ask that notice be
given that no one is urged TO pur-
chase it without first obtaining an
experimental package. Everyone VINO
has tried it knows that the fifty-cent
box. on sale at the Crystal Pha--
macy and all drug stores, is sur
ficieEt to cure the worst cases
OF eczema, where the surface
affected is not too large. The itching
ceases on first application. 1t viii
also cure acne, letter, blotcnes, scaly
scalp, hives, BARRIERS and every other
form of itch, including itching
feet. Being fiesh-cOlOred and contain
ing no grease, the presence of pos
lam on exposed surfaces, such as the
face and hands is not perceptible.
Water and soap cannot be used in
connection with it. as these irritate
and prolong skin troubles, sometimes
even causing them.
As to the experimental package OF
poslam it can be had free of charge
by mail of the Emergency LabOra-
tories, 30 West Twenty fifth Street,
New York. 1t alone is sufficient to
clear the complexion overnight, and
to rid the face of pimples in twenty
four hours.
