Millions
Lives Lost
An Awful Toll Collected by Con
sumption. Many Unneces-
sary Deaths from This
Disease.

If people could only understand
that systematic catarrh is an internal
disease that external applications can
not cure, they would not need To De
warned so often about this ma!ady
which, when neglected, paves the way
oftentimes for consumption. at the
cost of millions of lives every year
Yet catarrh may be cured, if the righ;
treatment is employed.
Catarrh is caused by a general dis
eaSed state of the system which leads
commonly to annoying and perhaps
serious local conditions, which may
prove a fertile breeding ground foI
germs of consumption. External
remedies give but temporary ease.
The only way to successfully treat
catarrh is by employing a medicine
which is absorbed ard carried by tho
blood to all parts of the system, Sc
that the mucous membrane or inter.
nal lining of the body is toned up and
made capable of resisting the infec.
ton of consumption and other dis.
eases.
We have a remedy prepared from
the prescription of a physician WI,
for 80 years studied and made ca
tarrh a speciality, and whose record
was a patient restored to health il
every case where his treatment was
followed as prescribed. That remedy
is ReXall Mucu-Tone. We are so pos.
tive that it will completely overcome
catarrh in all it's various forms
whether acute or chronic. that we
promise to return every penny paid
us for the medicine in every case
where it fails or for any reason does
not satisfy the user.
We want you to try RexaIl 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 Rexall Mucu-Tone in two
sizes, so cents and $1.00. Very often
the taking of one so cent bottle is
sufficient to make a marked impress
sion upon the case. OF course in
chronic cases a longer treatment is
necessary. The average IN such i'm
stances is three $1.00 bottles. Re-
member you can obtain Rexal1 rem-
edies in Rock Island only at our store
