For Catarrh
Medicine Free in Every Case Where
1t Fails to Relieve.

1t Fails to Relieve.
Neglect or pessimism, we believe,
is the greatest enemy the public has
to contend with when applied 10 the
loss or recovery of health. Prac-
tically every case of consumption
might have been cured if hope had
been maintained and proper treat
ment had been resorted to at the
first symptom of the disease. Until
the advanced stage is reached con-
sumption is durable. Catarrh is re-
sponsible, we believe, for many
cases of consumption. 1t is about
catarrh we want to talk to you to-
day, incidentally consumption. since
the two are so closely allied.
We have a medicine made from a
prescription of one of the most sue
.cessful catarrh specialists known.
We believe it is positively without
an equal. We are so satisfied that
we are right. that we will supply
the medicine free in every instance
where it used according TO direc
tions for a reasonable length Of
time should it fail to give satisfac-
ton in every particular. We want

our risk. There are no conditions
attached to our offer We put the
user under no obligation to us what
ever
The medicine we want you to try
is Rexall Mucu-Tone. 1t is a catarrh
remedy that goes direct to the seat
of trouble. 1t is carried by the blood
TO every part of the system. 1t puri-
fes and enriches the blood, tones up
the mucous cells, and brings about
condition of health and strength
that tends to prevent the germs Of
consumption from getting a start.
Besides this Rexall Mucu-Tone is
wonderful appetizer. digestive aid
and flesh builder. Its good effects
are often felt from the first dose.
1t is one of the largest and most
satisfactory selling medicines thag
we have had anything 70 do With.
We know so much of the great
good that it has done that we per-
sonally back it up with our reputa-
ton and money, which fact should
be ample guarantee to satisfy any
body. Rexall Mucu-Tone comes in
two sizes, so cents and $1.00. We

SCpOFULA
HEREDITARY BLOOD POISON

Scrofula is a disease manifested
usually by swelling and liberation
of the glands, especially about the
neck. 1t is almost entirely hereditary
in its origin, being the dregs or re-
mains of some specific blood poison.
Where the blood is greatly weakened
with the scrofulous poison, the disease
attacks other portions of the system
besides the glands, and then we see its
effects in weak eyes, poorly developed
bodies, running sores and ulcers, skin
diseases, especially on the scalp, ca
tarrhal troubles, etc. Scrofula usually
makes its appearance in childhood,
though manhood or womanhood may
be reached before the poison pro-
crosses to the stage of outward mani
festation. S. S. S. is the one real cure
for Scrofula. It is a blood purifier
without an equal, and it cures this
destructive blood poison by removing
every trace of the infection from the
circulation. S. S. S.. in addition to

In all the myriad avenues of commerce
the wage of the worker is the basis of

after all is only exchanging the products

STOCKMEN DISPLEASED.

DEN YER Consideration seized the
cattle interests of the state Tuesday,
when it was learned that Secretary
Wilson of the department of agricul-
ture. had placed "A ban on Colorado AMI
ordered that no stock be allowed to
cross the line unless they were dipped.
This information was received in y
letter by DR.. Charles G. Lamb from
A. ID. Melvin, chief of the stock inspec-
tion bureau at Washington. The letter
stated that because the state makes no
effort to control disease peculiar to live
stock, the privileges =. ,ne interstate
commerce law was denied Colorado
This means that no cattle can be
shipped out of the state, diseased or
healthy, that have not been dipped. 1t
is also stated that the department has
withdrawn its government agents from
longer be held.
The loss to the state will be in the
hundreds of thousands and the dis
elimination is declared to be due to the
laxity of the stockmen themselves in
obeying the rules of the department
and the state live stock board. The
board also lays the blaze on the stock
men.
For the last twelve years, it is de-
clared. stockmen have been lobbying
against bills in the legislature to elm
mate disease from stock, and have fin
ally succeeded in securing what they
desired. Four years ago a bill was
passed, which was so flimsy, that it did
not mean anything and as a result the
stocknen have done about as they
pleased, it is claimed.
Unable to ship stock out of the state
unless dipped, the action of the gov
ernment will work a hardship on stock
men who own large herds to ship east.
Efforts are being made to try and have
the department modify its ruling.
