Lunberton,

famous beauty specialist known
throughout the world and an &C
copied authority on all relating
thereto, states that the one posi-
tive and permanent relief for
catarrh is Rexall Mucu-Tone.
Here is her letter:
L can strongly endorse the
claims made for Rexall Mucu-
Tone as a cure for systemic ca
tarrh. Its tonic effects are re-
markable. It builds up the
strength and restores vitality.
If women who are tired and run
down, lacking in energy and
vitality, will use Rexall Mucu-
Tone, they will praise as I do it's
strengthening and healing
qualities. -
Observation-Disclosures through
the blood, acting thus upon the
mucous cells-the congestion and
inflammation of which causes
local catarrh. This remedy
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
catarrh. We positively guarantee
to refund the money paid us fol-
this remedy in every case where

A Message From a Famous
Beauty Specialist to Women
Lacking in Energy And
Vitality.

Vitality.
Thousands of women vainly at
tempt to improve their complex
ions and to remove 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 impoverished blood.
This condition is in many cases
due to a catarrhal condition Of
the whole system which finds it's
expression in sallow, muddy COM
plexion, dark circled eyes, weak
ness of the system, and perhaps
most plainly in the weeping of
mucous membranes that is COM
monty called catarrh.
In fact this whole tendency is,
properly speaking, Catarrh. Ban.
ism this catarrh, and the com.
pIeXion will clear as if by magic
eyes will brighten, faces become
rosy and shoulders erect. Per
feet beauty goes only with per.
| feet health, and perfect health
for women can only be obtaire'
! through one certain treatment
| that which will cure catarrh.
