is quickly absorbed.
ng.a -

The number of diseases peculiar
to women is such that we believe
this space would hardly contain
mere mention of their names, and
it is a fact that most of these dis
eases are of a catarrhal nature. A
woman cannot be well if there is
trace of catarrh in her system.
Some women think there is no
help for them. We positively de-
clare this to be mistaken idea.
We are so sure of this that we offer
to supply medicine absolutely free
of all cost in every instance where
it fails to give satisfaction, or does
not subStantiate our claims. With
this understanding, no woman should
hesitate to believe our honesty OF pur-
pose, or hesitate to put our claims to
test ny
There is only one way to oyarsx
come catarrh. That way is thr6l
the blood. You may use all
snuffs, douches or like remediea3
years without getting more i
temporary relief at best. CatS1
in general is a diseased conditf4&
of the system that shows locally
most frequently in discharges from
mucous. membranes. Local treat
ment should be assisted by internal
treatment for the general diseased
condition if complete cure is to
be reached. That internal treat
ment should be scientifically devised
and faithfully administered.
Rexall Mucu-Tone is scientifically
prepared from the prescription OF
an eminent physician who for thirty
years made catarrh his speciality.
This remedy is admirably adapted
to the treatment of the catarrhal
ailments of women. 1t purifies and
enrches the blood, tends to stop
mucuous discharges, aids in remov-
ing impurities from the system
soothes, heals and strengthens the
mucous tissues, and brings about
feeling of health and strength
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone on our guarantee. If you are
not benefited, or for any reason
not satisfied, simply tell us and we
will hand back your money. Rexall
Mucu-Tone comes in two sizes, so
cents and $780, Remember, you can
obtain RexaH Remedies in Augusta
only at our store-The Rexall store.
