3OYears of Success
The Thomas Drug Company Of
fer a Remedy for Catarrh.
The Medicine Costs Moth
ing if It Fails.

When a medicine effects success
full treatment in a very large major
ity of cases, and when we offer that
medicine on our own personal guar
antee that it will cost the user moth
ing if it does not completely relieve
catarrh, It is only reasonable that
people should believe us, or at least
put our claim to a practical test
when we take all the risk. These
are facts which we want the people
to substantiate. We want them to
try Rexall Mucu-Tone, a medicine
prepared from a prescription Of a
physician with whom catarrh was a
speciality. and who has a record of
80 years of enviable success to his
record.
We receive more good reports
about Rexall Mucu-Tone than we do
of all other catarrh remedies sold
in our store. and IL more people only
knew what a thoroughly dependable
remedy Rexall Mucu-Tone is, it
would be the only catarrh remedy
we would have any demand for.
Rexall Mucu-Tone is quickly alb
sorbed and by its therapeutic effect
tends to disinfect and cleanse the en-
tire mucous membraneous tract, to
destroy and remove the parasites
which injure the membraneous It's
sues, to soothe the irritation and
heal the soreness, stop the mucous
discharge, build up strong. healthy
tissue and relieve the blood and sys-
tenn of diseased matter. It's influence
is toward stimulating the muco-cells,
aiding digestion and improving nu-
triton until the whole body vibrates
with healthy activity. In a COM
paratively short time it brings about
a noticeable gain in weight, strength,
good color and feeling Of buoyancy.
We urge you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone, beginning a treatment today.
AT any time you are not satisfied
simply come and tell US. and we will
quickly return your money without
question or bubble. We have Rexall
Mucu-Tone in two sizes, so cents and
81. Remember you can obtain Rexall
Remedies in Rock Island only at our
store-The Rexall store. The Thorn

MOLINE

Year Fire Losses s21 BAG. s5.-During
the fiscal year ending March 81 last
the fire loss in Moline was $4,113.S2 in
excess Of the loss during like period
ended March 81, 1909. The report of
Fire Chief John Q. Hawk, as made re-
Gently to the city council. shows the
total fire loss for the last year as $21,-
S49,s5. while during the year previous
it was $17,736.03. Despite the increase
the loss may still be considered small,
as the local department succeeded In
checking all CONGREGATIONS which
might have proved serious. The fig
ures for this city are extremely low
as compared with those Of Rock Island
and Davenport for the same periods.
During the year the local department
responded to SO calls, while during the
year previous the calls numbered 50.
Burglars In Laundry.-Burglars Wed
nesday night broke into the Crystal
laundry, owned by Mrs. Ella Wehrend,
Fourth avenue and Twelfth street, and
made their getaway with $3.50 in pen
MES and several pieces of laundry.
The burglars were not repaid for the
trouble they experienced in getting
into the building. They first gained
entrance to the building through doors
leading TO the engine room. There is
a heavy freproof door between the en-
CINE room and the work room. With
the aid Of crowbars they managed to
lift the door from the track on which
II travels. From marks on the door
it is thought that the burglars expert
enced considerable difficulty In dis
placing 1t. The money was taken from
the cash register, which was not lock-
ed by Mrs. Wehrend when she left the
establishment the previous evening.
Several bundles of finished laundry
were broken open. The burglars left
collars and white shirts and took IN
derwear. Several suits of underwear
are missing.

DAVENPORT

Divorce Suit Wfthdrawn.-The di
vorce proceedings In which Mrs. Ma
bel Biller sought a separation from
her husband, Leonard P. Biller, has
been dismissed in the district court
by her attorneys. No reason is CIV
en- for the dismissal. In her petit
ton for the decree on the grounds
of cruel and inhuman treatment, the
plaintiff asked the sum of 100000
as alimony and had already secured
an order OF the court for the tenn
porary alimony asked.
Charged With Seducthon.-A man
giving the name of Charles Brown
was arrested by Detective Bishop
yesterday and was taken back to OF
tumwa by Constable Derby of that
city. Derby stated that Brown was
wanted in that city on charge of
seduction and a warrant had been
issued against him by a young wo-
man from that city. Brown stated
that he did not know what he was
wanted for and insisted that it must
be a mistake. When arrested the
young man was working for one OF
the laundries in the city and he has
been in Davenport for several weeks.
