We have no suspicious nor heart thrill
ing events TO record of late. But the
city dailies are filed with such happen
ings in other places. What with the
rapid mail facilities, the electric wires,
the many daily and weekly papers that
come TO US, it would seem at first that
accidents and criminal acts were much
more prevalent than half century ago,
Well, perhaps they are. Our population
has greatly increased, and our country
seems to be the dumping ground for the
scum of the old countries. Yet an al
lowance should be made for the seeming
increase in crime and accidents. Every
event of any importance to the general
reader is at once made public by the
press, whereas, half century or more
ago, only the events happening near BY
reached us at all. The great steamer
collision that happened on the oath inst.
off Nantucket was fully recorded in the
next mornings papers, which had il
happened century ago, We should have
hardly heard of ii by this time.
Mechanical inventions with their com.
pick machinery sometimes cause acct
dents and death even, yet the electrical
current in its wonderful utility is the
means often of saving accidents. Had
it not been for the wireless system oil
telegraphy there would doubtless have
been great loss of life in that Florida
Republic collision. This again suggests
that oft inquiry, yet uusolved,-'Is i,
possible for inventions and improve
ments to multiply for century to come
as it has in the past century," No one
can tell to certainty, but with oui
opportunities for study and research
being constantly augmented, we believe
it possible and probable. We are yet q
young and rapidly growing nation and
he future is to be still more wonderful
in it's great achievements.

Germs In her System.
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD Read THIS.

Tho number Of diseases peculiar TO
woman is such that We believe this space
would hardly contain mere mention OF
their names, and 1t Is fact that most OF
these diseases are OF catarrhal nature.
A woman cannot be well X there 10
trace of the catarrhal germs In her
system.
Some women think there Ii no help for
them. We positively declare this to be
q mistaken idea. We are 90 sure OF this
that we offer to supply medicine abso.
lutsly free of all cost In every instance
where It fails to give entire subtraction
or does not substantiate our claims.
With this understanding, no woman
should hesitate to believe our honesty OF
purpose, or hesitate TO put our claims to
test.
There is only one way to cure Catarrh.
That way is through the blood. You
may use all the spuffs, douches or like
remedies for years without getting more
than temporary relief at best. Catarrh Is
caused by germ. That germ is carried
BY the blood to the innermost part Of
the system until the mucous membrane
is broken, irritation and inflammation
produced, and q flow of mucus results,
and you can probably realize how silly 1t
Is to attempt to cure such an ailment
unless you take q medicine that follows
the same course as the germ or parasite.
Rexall Mucu-Tone is scientifically pre-
pared from the prescription OF an emil.
neut physician who for thirty years made
his specially Catarrb, and with this
medicine he averaged 90 per cent OF
cures where 1t was employed. No other
remedy is so properly designed for the
ailments of woman. 1t will purify and
enrich the blood, stop mucous discharge,
destroy all germ matter, remove all i'm
purities from the system, soothe, heal
and strengthen the mucous tissues, and
bring about good feeling Of health and
strength.

fitted, or for any reason not satisfied,
