Nine. Swift, New York, the famous
beauty specialist known throughout
the world and an accepted authority
on all relating thereto, states that the
one positive and permanent relief for
catarrh is Rexall Mucu-Tone. Here is
her letter:
L can strongly endorse the claims
made for ReXall Mucu- Tone as a cure
for systematic catarrh. Its tonic ef-
fects are remarkable. 1t builds up tho
strength and restores vitality. If wo-
men who are tired and run down. lack

Rexall Mucu-Tone. they will praise AZ
DO IT'S strengthening and healing
qualities"
Rexall MucuTone works through
the blood, acting thus upon the mucous
cells-the congestion and inflammation
OF which causes local catarrh. This
remedy causes poison to be expelled
from the system, and the blood is puri-
ned and revitalized. Thus the natural
functions of the mucous cells are re-
stored. and the membranes are cleanse
ed and made strong. We know that
ReXail Mucu-Tone does relieve ca

The tract contains 6.94 acres and in many ways is ideal for the pur- pose for which 1t is intended. The price paid Is practically $2.O00 an acre. The preliminary papers for the trans fer have been signed and the contract is virtually closed.
 The fact that the site has been pur- chased has cleared away the possibil- ity of a long delay before construction work could commence. Although no time has been fixed, work will prob ably commence early in the spring.
