To my friends OF Prince Edward

toward you for your friendship. your

skill in the use of the pen than

ton Of your confidence an ~sf-,-
ton as manifested in the a,most u H.

honor of being a member OF the Ma
tional Congress.
The consciousness Of the esteem
and confidence of my fellow county
men is dearer to me than place or
wealth. BY your generous and I'M
selfish interest, your loyalty andat-
lection you have placed me under
obligations that ] shall never be
able to repay, but if the best service
of a grateful heart can in some
small measure show my appreciation
then be assured that at all times

give to your service the best OF my
heart and head, for no man couid
have a higher incentive to serve
his people than | have.
To those who could not see their
way clear to support me, ! entertain
no feelings but those OF good Will
feeling sure, knowing them as 90
that they do not, for one moment
entertain any malice for me
5 I further wish to say that the bat

A STARTLING STATEMENT.
Now \ ork Medical Author ties Claim
Dyspepsia e. be a Pre-DispOsing
Cause of Consumption.

The post norton statistics of the
his Nov York hospitals snow that
some cases of consumption are due.
at least indirectly, to unchecked
dyspepsia, especially when the vic
tim was predisposed to tuberculosis.
Dyspepsia wears out the body
and brain. The weakened, irritable
stomach being unable to digest
food, the body does not receive the
required nourishment, and the vic
tim becomes thin, weak and bag
gard. As a result the body be-
comes a fertile field in which the
germs of disease may lodge and
flourish.
Therefore, the person who per-
mits dyspepsia to progress IN
hindered is guilty of contributing
the most insidious and fatal dis
eases known TO mankind.
Dyspepsia may be completely
eradicated if properly treated. We
sell a remedy that we positively
guarantee will completely relieve
Indigestion or dyspepsia, or the
medicine used during the trial will
cost the user nothing.
This remedy has been name
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. Ger
tainly no offer could be more fair.
and our offer should prove posi-
tive that Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets
are a dependable remedy.
lnasmuch as the medicine will
cost you nothing if it does not
benefit you, we urge you WHO are
suffering with Indigestion or dys-
pepsia to try ReAall Dyspepsia Tab
lets. A 25-cent box contains enough
medicine for fifteen days treat
ment For chronic cases we have
two larger sizes. so cents and 500
