80 YEARS OF SUCCESS
M. NJ. Lewis offers a Remedy For Ca
tarrh-The Medicine Costs Nothing
II it Fails.

When a medicine effects a successful
treatment in a very large majority of
cases, and when we offer that medicine
on our own personal guarantee that It
will cost the user nothing if it does not
completely relieve catarrh, it IS only
reasonable that people should believe
US, or at least put our claim to a prac-
tical test when we take all the risk.
These are facts which we want the peo-
pie to substantiate. We want them to
try Rexall Mucu-Tone, a medicine pre-
pared from prescription of physician
with whom catarrh was a speciality.
and who has record of thirty years OF
enviable success to bis record.
We receive more good reports about
Rexall Mucu-Tone than we do of all
other catarrh remedies sold in our store,
and if more people only knew what q
thoroughly dependable remedy Rexall
Mucu-Tone is, it would be the only ca
tarrh remedy we would have any de-
mand for.
RexalI Mucu-Tone is squickly absorbed
and by its therapeutic effect tends to
disinfect and cleanse the entire mucous
