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

Specialist to Women Lacking in
Energy and Vitality.
Thousands Of women vsinly attempt
to improve their oomplexions and to 10
move blackheads. crows feet and other
blemishes, through the use Of cosmetics.
This treatment fails because the trouble
lies far deeper than the skin. They are
suffering from impure and impoverish-
ed blood. The condition is in many cases
due to Q catarrhal condition of the
whole system which finds its expression
in eallow, muddy complexion, dark-cir-
oled eyes, general weakness Of the sys-
tenn, and perhaps most plainly in the
weeping of mucous membranes that is
commonly called cstarrh.
In fact this whole tendency is, proper
ly speaking, Catsrrh. Danish this cat
srrh, and the complexion will clear a. il
BY magic. eyes will brighten, faces BE-
come rosy and shoulders erect. Perfect
beauty goes only with perfect health,
aud perfect health for women can only
be obtained through one certain treat
ment-that which will cure catsrlh.
Nine. Swift, New York. the famous
beatty specialist known throughout the
world and an accepted authority on all
relating thereto. states that one positive
and permanent relief for cstsrrh is Rex
all Nucu-Tone. Rere is her letter:
II can strongly endorse the claims
made for Rexall Mucu- Tone as q cure
for systemic catarrh. Its tonic effects
are remarkable. It builds up the
strength and restores vitality. II women
who are tired and run down, lacking
in energy and vitality, will use Rexall
Mucu-Tone. they will praise as l do it's
strengthening and healing qualities. !"
Rexall Mucu-T Tone works through the
blood, acting thus upon the mucous
ce!ls-the congestion and inflammation of
which causes local cstsrrh. This rem
edy causes poison to be expelled from
the system, and the blood is purified and
revitalized. 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 cstarrh We positeive-
ly guarantee to refund the money paid 10
for this remedy in every case where the

Sale Of DRUG Store.

The sale of the stock of the
Peoples Drug Store occurred on
Monday afternoon, as advertised
IN the columns Of the News the
past weeks. Deputy Sheriff
Smith was in charge of the sale,
with Auctioneer Preston as
crier. There were only a few
bidders, it being practically un-
derstood that the Potts Drug
Company, the principal creditors
would bid in the stock. After a
short season of bidding the stock
and fixtures were bid in by them
at four hundred dollars. This
will leave very small balance
after paying the expenses of the
sale. The fixtures are probably
more valuable than the stock on
hand.
