Millions of
Lives Lost
An Awful Toll Collected BY Consumption.
Many Unnecessary Deaths from
This Disease.


ii people could only understand that
systemic catarrh Is an internal disease
that external applications cannot cure,
they would not need to be warned so
often about this malady which, when
neglected. payes the way oftentimes for
consumption, at The cost Of millions Of
lives every year. Yet catarrh may be
cured, II the right treatment il EN-
plcyed.
Catarrh is caused BY general diseased
state of the system, which leads com
monty to annoying and perhaps serious
local conditions, which may prove fer
tile breeding ground for germs Of con-
sumption. External remedies give but
temporary ease.
The only way to successfully treat
eatarrh is by employing q medicine which
is absorbed and carried By the blood to
all parts Of the system, so that the mu
cous membrane or internal lining Of the
body IS toned lip and made capable of
resisting the infection OF consumption
and other diseases.
We have a remedy prepared from The
prescription Of physician who for thirty
years studied and made catarrh d spe
cialty, and whose record wac q patient
restored to health in every case whore
his treatment was followed as prescribed.
That remedy is Rexall Mueu-Tone We
are SO positive that it will completely
overcome eatarrh in all its various forms,
whether acute or chronic. that we prom
ise to return every penny paid us for
the medicine IN every case where It fails
or for any reason does not satisfy the
user.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu Tone
Oh our Recommendation and guarantee
We are right here where you live and
You do not contract any obligation or
risk when you try Rexall Mucli- Tone on
