80 Years ofSuccess
The Thomas Drug Company Of
fers a Remedy for Catarrh.
The Medicine Costs Moth
ing If It Fails.

When a medicine effects a success
full treatment in a very large major
ity of cases, and when we offer that
medicine on our own personal guar
antee that 1t 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 practical test when
we take all the risk. These are facts
which we want the people to substan-
tiate. We want them to try Rexall
Mucu-Tone, a medicine prepared
from a prescription of 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 if 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 OBJ
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 dis
charge, build up strong, healthy It's
sue and relieve the blood and system
of diseased matter. Its influence is
toward stimulating the muco-cells,
aiding digestion and improving nu-
triton, until the whole body vibrates
with healthy activity. In compar-
atively short time it brings about
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 Thomas Drug
company.

She washed it with Fels-Naptha Soap,
And that's what made it so.
Fels-Naptha Soap is more tt an
help-its right arm in your fight against
dirt.
While you rest, it works.
When you've soaped your clothes with
Fels-Naptha and put them to soak in cool
or lukewarm water, you can turn to some
thing else or fold your hands and rest.
The Fels-Naptha works on.
1t attacks the dirt in your clothes and
dissolves it; loosens every tiny particle.
AT the end of half hour it has dis
solved all the dirt.
All that remains for you to do is to
rub lightly, rinse and hang out to dry.
Clothes are whittier, cleaner, sweeter
than ever before.
And all this in cool or lukewarm wa
ter, mind you.
No boiling, no hot suds to stew over:
No back-breaking, knuckle-wearing
hard rubbing on the washboard.
More than million women employ
Fels-Naptha Soap as an ally every washday.
To make it aid you in Summer or
Winter, just follow simple direction on the
red and green wrapper,

agency here. said to me yesterday:
Although. Of course. we have not yet
had time to compile the exact figures
am tolerably convinced that more
Americans have visited Europe this
summer than any other time since the
Paris exhibition OF 1900.
Il can give no better idea OF the
great number Of visiting Americans
this summer than by mentioning that
We must have booked about 10000
Americans for the Passion play at
Oberammergau alone"
In view Of the fact that the average
American who. comes to Europe for
the Passion play must spend at least
$3.50. Oberammergau will, indirectly
at least account TOR an expenditure OF
not less than $2,5O0.OOO Of American
money-probably great deal more.
Certainly more than 100.O have
visited London and spent between
seven and eight million dollars. and a,
present, when they all want to &c
back at once. there are not ships
enough to carry them.
