Catarrh is a disease of the mucous

of the body. Catarrh, therefore, may
exist in any part of the system.
When the catarrhal poison attacks
the mucous membrane, Inflammation
and congestion are produced and ma
ture fails to throw off the accumulat-
ed poisons. The organ which has
been afflicted ceases to perform its
proper function as nature intended 1t
should. The result is. complication

other even more serious Affections.
We honestly believe Rexall Mucu-
Tone will do wonders toward over
coming Catarrh 1t is made from

Health and Beauty Talks
BY MRS, MAE MARTIN.


Of kardene in q half pint of alcohol and
add enough boiling water to make a
full quart of tonic. When your stom-
aCh and liver are right and your blood
pure. your step Will be springy, your
eyes bright and your complexion
blooming and charming.
Gertrude J.: The dandruff. itching
scalp, and brittle. falling hair with
split ends of which you complain come
from a diseased scalp, due to the pres
enCe of germs. The surest way to get
rid of these troubles quickly and re
move the germs will be TO shampoo
twice month with canthrox and rub
into your scalp twice a week a quinine
hair tonic made by dissolving one
ounce of quinzoin in half a pint of
alcohol then adding half pint of cold
water. Use this tonic regularly and il
will remove the dandruff and irrita-
ton, stop your hair from falling out
and make it soft and glossy.
Harriet S: As the eyes add so much
to ones personal charm, you should be
very careful about using unreliable
eye tonics. \ good eye tonic is indis-
pensable for weak. tired and infiamed
eyes. If you will get an ounce of
crystOs and dissolve it in a pint of
water. and put a drop or two of this
in each eye daily, it will strengthen
and brighten up your eyes until you
probably will no longer need to wear
glasses. This tonic is splendid for
granulated eyeIids and does not smart
or burn.
Ella G.: Winter is a trying time for
those inclined to be stout, as the ten
dency then is to gain even more weight.
Here is a simple and harmless remedy
that will not only stop the accumula-
ton of flesh, but will reduce your
weight if you are too fat Just get
from your druggist four ounces of par
motifs, dissolve it in a pint of hot water
and take tablespoonful before each
meal. This remedy has worked won
ders where others have failed, and /
feel sure it will do you much good.
Jane s. (and others): The finest
complexion beautifier I have ever seen
to soften and whiten the skin and take
away that oily, salIow. coarse look is
made from four ounces Of spurmaX,
half pint Of hot water and two tea
spOonfuls of glycerine. Apply a little
of this lotion to your face, neck and
arms, and it will improve your looks
wonderfully. This is much better than
face powder, as it does not show on
the face or rub off so easily, but will
give your skin a pink, healthy, youth
full appearance. Spurmax lotion is in
expensive and splendid for tan, freck-
les, cold sores, chapped and rough
skin caused by raw penetrating Winds.
