from this portion OF the state are so
heavy no self-respecting person is will

of the back towns, arrangements are
easily made with those who have no true
self-respect to go up and vote for their
carfare and dinners, with often the liquid
part accompanying.
And this is the state OF affairs in the
much lauded Vermont with plain law

Section 104 of our General Statutes Is
very plain. There is no ambiguity about

GERMS IN HER SYSTEM
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD READ
THIS ADVICE AND THE GEN
EROUS OFFER THAT GOES
WITH IT.

The number of diseases peculiar
TO women is such that we believe
this space would hardly contain a
mere mention of their names, and
1t is fact that most of these dis
eases are of. catarrhal nature. A.
woman cannot be we'll if there is a
trace of catarrh in her system.
Some women think there is no
nelp Tor them. We positively de-
clare this to be a mistaken idea.
We are so sure of this that we offer
to supply medicine absolutely free
OF all cost in every instance where
1t fails to give satisfaction, or does
not substantiate our claims. With
this understanding, no woman
should hesitate to believe our hon
esty of purpose, or hesitate to put
our claims to test.
There is only one way to over
como catarrh. That way is through
snuffs, douchcs or like remedies for
years without getting more than
temporary relief at best. Catarrh
In general is a diseased condition
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
3on0l ion it a 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 cdapted
to the treatment Of the catarrhal
ailments of women. 1t purifies and
enriches the blood, tends to stop
mucous discharges, aids in remov-
ing impurities from the system,
soothes, heals and strengthens the
mucus tissues and brings about
a feeling of health and strength.
