Millions Of
Lives Lost
An Awful Toll Collected by consump-
ton. Many Unnecessary Deaths
From This Disease.

II people could only understand that
systemic catarrh is an internal dis
ease that external applications cannot
cure. they would not need to be
warned so often about this malady
which. when neglected. paves the way
oftentimes for consumption. at the
cost of millions of lives every year.
Yet catarrh may be cured. IL the right
treatment is employed.
Catarrh is caused by general dis
eased state of the system which leads
commonly to annoying and perhaps
serious local conditions. which may
prove a fertile breeding ground for
germs of consumption. External rem
edies give but temporary ease
The only way to successfully treat
catarrh is by employing a medicine
which is absorbed and carried by the
blood to all parts of the system. so
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
cases.
We have remedy prepared from
the prescription of a physician who
for thirty years studied and made ca
tarrh a speciality. and whose record
was patient restored to health in
every case where his treatment was
followed as prescribed. B That remedy
is Rexall Mucu Tone. We are so pos
tive that it will completely overcome
catarrh in all its various forms.
whether acute or chronic, that we
promise to return every penny paid
us for the medicine in every case
where 1t fails or for any reason does
not satisfy the user.
We want you to try Rexan 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 Rex
all Mucu-Tone on our guarantee We
have Rexall Mucu-Tone in two sizes,
so cents and s1.OO. Very often the
taking of one 50-cent bottle is suf-
ficient to make a marked impression
upon the case. OF course, in chronic
cases a longer treatment Is necessary.
The average in such instances is three
sl.OO bottles. Remember you can OBJ
