FOR CATARRH
Medicine Free In Every Case
Where 1t Fails to Relieve.

Neglect or pessimism. we believe, is
the greatest enemy the public has to
contend with when applied to the loss or
recovery OF health. Practically every
case of consumption might have been
cured if hope had been maintained and
proper treatment had been reSorted to
at the first symptoms of the disease.
Until the advanced stage is reached
consumption is durable. Catarrh is re-
ST onsibIe, we believe. for many cases of
consumption, 1t is about catarrh We
want to talk to you today, incidentally
consumption, since the two are SO close
ly allied.
We have a medicine made from
prescription OF one of the most sue
cessfui catarrh specialists known. We
believe it is positively without an equal.
We are so satisfied that We are right,
that we will supply the medicine free
in every instance where it is used ac-
cording to directions for a reasonable
length of time, should it fail to give
satisfaction in every particular. We
want every one to try this medicine at
tached to our offer. We put the user
under no obligation to US whatever.
The medicine We want you to try is
Rexan Mucu-Tone. 1t is a catarrh
OF trouble. It is carried by the blood
to every part of the system. 1t puri-
fies and enriches the blood, tones up
the mucous cells. and brings about a
condition of health and strength that
tends to prevent the germs of consump-
ton from getting a start. Besides this,
Rexall M:Icu-Tone is a wonderful ap-
Iretizer, digestive aid and flesh builder.
It's good effects are often felt from the
very first dose. 1t is one of the largest
and most satisfactory selling medicines
that We have ever had anything to do
with.

An excellent performance-the pro-

The play is different from most the

that of any really clever woman who
has fallen-and who endeavors to con-
ceal her past. She is unable to do so,
