Millions of
Lives Lost
An Awful Toll Collected by Con
sumption. Many Unnec-
essary Deaths from
This Disease.

If people could only understand
that systematic 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
paves the way oftentimes for con-
sumption, at the cost of millions OF
lives every year. Yet catarrh may
be cured, If the right treatment is
employed.
Catarrh is caused by general dis
eased state of the system which leads
commonly to annoying and perhaps
serious local conditions, which may
prove a fertile breeding ground for
germs of consumption. External
remedies give but temporary ease.
The only way to successfully treat
catarrh is by employing a medicine
which is absorbed and carried by the
blood to all parts of the system, SO
that the mucous membrane or inter-
nal lining of the body is toned up
and made capable of resisting the in
lection of consumption and other dis
eases.
We have a remedy prepared from
the prescription of a physician who
for 80 years studied and made ca
tarrh a speciality, and whose record
was a patient restored to health in
every case where his treatment was
followed as prescribed. That remedy
is Rexall Mucu-Tone. We are so pos
tive that it will completely overcome
catarrh in all its various forms,
whether acute or chronic, that we
promise 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 on our recommendation and
guarantee. We are right here where
you live and you do not contract any
obligation or risk when you try Rex
all Mucu-Tone on our guarantee. We
have Rexall Mucu-Tone in two sizes,
so cents and s1.00. Very often the
taking of one SO cent bottle is suf-
ficient to make a marked impression
upon the case. OF course in chronic
cases a longer treatment is necessary.
The average in such circumstances
is three $1.00 bottles. Remember
you can obtain Rexall Remedies in
Rock Island only at our store-the
Rexall store. Thomas Drug company.

New Lighting System for Island
Campbell's island is to be lighted in

Instead of lighting the island from the

alternating current will be used, the
power being furnished direct from the
Peoples Power company of Moline
Many more lights than have been used
in the past will be placed on the island
this summer. Many people who have
cottages on the island are now having
them wired and preparing to install
lights in them. In the past, many Of
these people have used the acetylene
gas systems. but have always wished
for electric lights. 1t is also probable
that several large arc lamps will be
placed on the island at certain points
along the waters edge and at places
of interest on the grounds. The new
system Of lighting the island will make
it much more brilliant and cheerful

impossible to illuminate it in salts

the lights were so dim that they were
almost useless, and at times nearly
went out entirely.

informed her of her act and said
she wanted to die. A physician was
summoned at once and after remov-
| ing the poison had the young woman
removed to Mercy hospital Wednes-
day where she was given every SER
vice possible to save her life- The
timely arrival of assistance brought
on by Miss Grace telling of her ter
rible act, will probably save her life.
No reason can be ascribed for the
act except that Miss Grace feared
that she would be returned to the
Mitchelville institution. She was on
parole and had come to the Kerker
home less than a month ago and was
taken in as a domestic. She had
given good satisfaction and had SEEM
ed to be good girl In every respect.
She was out of the house from the
time the Kerker family left about
o'clock and the only tntimation that
she was going out was when she
limited that she would like to go to
show. 1t appears that by leaving
the house and not returning until
about l o'clock, Miss Grace violated
the terms of her parole and she fear
ed that information of her indiscre-
ton would reach the ears of the
Mitchelville authorities and that she
would be taken back. But little is
known of her relatives or her past
life.
