GERMS IN HER SYSTEM.
Every Woman Should Read This
Advice and the Generous Offer
that Goes With it.

The number of Diseases peculiar to
women is such that we believe this
space would hardly contain a mere men,
ton OF their Names and it is fact that
most Of these diseases are of catarrhal
nature. woman cannot be we'll if
there is trace of catarrh in her system.
Some women think there is no help
for them. We positively declare this to
be mistaken idea. We are so sure of
this that we offer to supply medicine alb.
soutely free of all cost in every in.
stance where it fails to give satisfaction,
or does not substantiate our claims
With this understanding, no woman
should hesitate to believe our honesty of
purpose or hesitate to put our claims t.
test.
There is only one way to overcome
catarrh That way is through the blood.
You may use all the snuffs, douches or
like remedies for years without getting
more than temporary relief at best.
Catarrh in general is diseased condition
of the system that shows locally most
frequently in discharges from mucous
membranes. Local treatment should be
assisted by internal treatment for the
general diseased condition if complete
cure is to be reached. That internal
treatment should be scientifically devised
and faithfully administered.
Rexall Mucu-Tone is scientifically pre-
pared from the prescription of an emf
nent physician who for thirty years
made catarrh his speciality. This remedy
is admirably adapted to the treatment of
the catarrhal ailments of women. 1t
purities and enriches the blood, tends to
stop mucous discharges, aids in removing
impurities from the system, soothes,
heals and strengthens the mucous it's
sues, and brings about feeling of health
and strength.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-Tone
on our guarantee. If you are not benz
fitted. or for any reason not satisfied,
simply tell us and we will hand back
your money Rexall Mucu-Tone comes
in two sizes, 80 cents and $l.00. Re-
member you can obtain Rexall Remedies
only at-The Rexall Store.

Johnson's Eminent is more popular to-
