 Not Satisfied with the
 Medicine We Recommend

We arc sn positive that our remedy will permanently relieve constipation. no matter how chronic it may be. that we offer to furnish the medicine at our expense should it fail to produce satisfactory results.
 It is worse than useless to attempt to cure constipation with cathar1ic drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do much harm. They cause a reaction. ir- ritate and weaken the bowels and tend to make constipation more chronic. Be- sides. their use becomes a habit that is dangerous.
 Constipation is caused by weak ness of the nerves and muscles of the large intestine or descending colon. To expect permanent relief you must therefore tone up and strengthen these organs and restore them to healthier activity.
 The discovery of the active prin- ciple of our remedy involved the labor of the worlds greatest research chem ists. As an active agent it possesses the valuable qualities of the best known intestinal tonics as well as be- ing particularly pleasant and prompt in its results.
 We want you to try ReXall Crderlies on our recommendation. They are eX- ceedingly pleasant to take, being eaten like candy. and are ideal for children, delicate persons and old folks. as well as for the robust. They act directly on the nerves and muscles of the bowels. They apparently have a neutral ac- ton on other associate organs or glands. They do not purge, cause eX- cessive lOoseness nor create any in- convenience whatever. They may be taken at any time. day or night.

 Dr. Bacon of Tombstone, who had diagnosed the case, said few days before that death might occur at any time though she might finger for a year. Death, however was regarded by the physician. who had made a study of the disease as inevitable.
 As was stated. pellagra is supposed to be caused by eating immature or diseased corn or it's products. In this case. it was believed that the disease had been communicated through glu- cose, which enters so largely into the manufacture of cheap candy. Of which the girl was inordinately fond

The trouble begins with indefinite digestive dis turbances. with insomnia, but as the disease progresses there occurs erup- tions on the skin. followed by sup puratiOn and the formation of dark spots In the more severe forms there are backaches, spasms and paralysis.
 The extent of the ravages of this affection may be estimated from the fact that of 500 patients in the Italian lunatic asylum in 1927. one-third of them were afflicted with rellagra. Treatment resolves itself into a cor rection of diet and removal from the infected district
