Mr.. Tawney stated in the debate
this was not investigated by the Sc
cret service, but by A clerk down
there conveying the impression that
the clerk was not in the secret ser
vice. As a matter of fact, ne was in
the secret service; his name was
Moran, and he was promoted to as
sistant chief for the excellency of
his work in this case. The total ex
pense for the Office and field force
last year was si35,0O0; and by this
one investigation they saved 10 the
government over 100000 year.

congress II is now very difficult for

after severe attack of the measles,
which developed into pneumonia, was
left pitifully thin. weak and emaciat-
ed. She had no appetite, and her stom-
ach was SO weak 1t could not retain

weeks, and nothing the doctor pre-
scribed did bit of good, and we were
beginning to think she would never re-
cover.
'At this time we commenced to give
her Vinol, and the effect was marvel

progress, and when we told him we
were giving her Vinol, he replied, 1t

CAUSES DEBILITY
Here Are Facts Backed Up By a Strong
Guarantee

Debility is caused by catarrh. In our
opinion, person free from Catarrh was
never troubled with Debility. Debility can
never be cured by medicine not designed
to cure Catarrh. We positively guarantee
to cure Catarrh, and thus cure Debility.
In every case where we fail to effect cure,
We will not charge cent for the medicine
employed during the trial. Now, surely
no one should hesitate to believe us or to
put our claim to practical test under such
conditions. We take all the risk, no one
else can lose anything by the transaction.
We make these statements and this
offer because we know and have time and
again proved that Rexall Mucu-Tone will
cure Catarrh. 1t is designed for that one
particular purpose. 1t is not cure-all
prescribed to cure every disease that flesh
is heir to. 1t is specific. Rexall Mucu-
Tone is absorbed in the stomach and
carried by the blood until 1t penetrates-
every part Of the body, acting as an anti.
septic, disinfecting, cleansing, soothing
and healing agent. 1t rids the system Of
all germ and poisonous matter, purifes
and enriches the blood, rebuilds injured
tissues, cleanses and invigorates the muco-
cells, neutralizes the acids of the body,
stops mucus discharge, tones up the entire
system, promotes nutrition, increases body
weight, and brings about feeling of health.
fulness that is lasting.
We have Rexall Mucu.Tone in two
