LIFE lSRT WORTH LIVING
This Statement May be Generally At.
tributed TO the Lack Of Good Health

We want 70 talk to people who are
nervous, who suffer from frequent
headaches, who don I enjoy their food,
who are irritable, quickly lose their
temper, are so tired and worn out that
they feel they must give up, and have
become so Respondent that life dOesn'
seem worth living. We know exactly
what is the matter with people IN this
condition, and if they will follow our
advice, we can tell them how 10 regain
good health and that boyancy of feeling
which makes life seem all sunshine and
happiness.
Most of the above described condi-
tons are chiefly caused by catarrhal in
fiammatlon of the mucous membranes.
This delicate Web-like lining of the
body becomes infamed and congested
until mental depression follows. The
only way that this can be overcome is
through a treatment of the blood. We
have the treatm MT, and we are so pos
tive that it viii produce the results we
claim for it that we will supply it to
anyone with the understanding that we
will return to them every penny they
paid US in every instance where the
treatment is not in every way salts
factory and beneficial to them.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone, whick is a powerful nutritive
tonic and body builder, and mucous
membrane Alternative that cleanses these
membranes and restores their natural
and healthy functions.
Rexall Mucu-Tone drives out all the
catarrhal poison, restores the mucous
cells to good health, tones up the whole
system, alIays inflammation, removes
congestion, and stimulates the whole
system to healthy activity. 1t is splen-
did for building up flesh and muscle
tissue and removing all weaknesses.
Come to our store today and get a
bottle of Mucu-Tone, and after giving
it a reasonable trial, if you are not
satisfied simply tell us, and we viii
hand back your money without ques-
ton. Surely, nothing could be more
fair than this Two sizes, SIC and 81 90.

TO THE VOTERS or VERNON cNuNrY:

/ hereby announce myself as a nom
partisan candidate for the Office of
County Judge of Vernon county, at the
ensuing spring election.
offer d few reasons why | should be
elected:
Having had several years of legal
practice, more especially in probate law
believe that | am sufficiently well
qualified for the Office This in itself
should not entitle me to the position.
for | willingly concede that the other
aspirants for the office, Judge ID. O.
Mahoney and j. Henry Bennett, the
present district attorney, are emf
nently qualified for the position. Not
withstanding this, believe that am
entitled to the Office, by reason of the
fact that unlike the opposing candidates
mentioned | have never been favored
by the electors of Vernon county, by
election to any office
On the other hand. believe that the
candidates above mentioned, should be
elected, for reasons we'll advanced by
their own supporters For instance,
the friends of Mr. Bennett content that
Judge Mahoney having been almost
continuously kept in Office by the peo-
pie of Vernon county, for a period of
about twenty-six years, (nearly twelve
years of which time he served in the
Office of probate judge should now be
willing to step aside and give some one
else an opportunity.
Likewise, the adherents of Judge Ma.
honey content that as Mr. Bennett,
though still young man, has been four
times elected district attorney, an office
ne now holds, having been elected last
fall therefore, he cannot consistently
claim that Judge Mahoney should be
retired in his favor.
With the above arguments, it seems
that it ought not to be difficult to agree,
and therefore, if neither of the opposing
candidates should be elected, for similar
reasons advanced by both of them, is
it not the logical conclusion that some
other attorney should be elected to the
office?
In announcing my candidacy, | do so
as non-partisan. believing that all
( judges should be elected as such, and
confident of my ability properly to exc
cute the important duties of the office
to which aspire, respectfully solicit
your vote Respectfully yours,
