THIRTY YEARS OF SUCCESS.
The Mcbride G. Will Drug Company
Offer a Remedy for Catarrh-The
Medicine Costs Nothing if 1t Fails.

Tho Mcbride G. Will Drug Company
Offer a Remedy for Catarrh-The
Medicine Costs Nothing if 1t Fails.
When a medicine effects successful
treatment in a very large majority OF
cases. and when we offer that medicine
on our own personal guarantee that it
will cost the user nothing If it does not
completely relieve catarrh, 1T is only
reasonable that people should believe
us, or at least put our claim to a prae-
teal test when we take all the risk.
These are facts which we want the
people to s1bstautiate. We want them
to try Rexall Mucu-Tone, medicine
prepared from prescription of ply
sician with whom catarrh was a spe-
cialty, and who has a record of thirty
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 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 absorb
ed and by its therapeutic effect tends
to disnfect and cleanse the entire
mucous membraneous tract, to destroy
and remove the parasites which tnjure
the membraneous tissues, to soothe the
irritation and heal the soreness, stop
the mucous discharge, build up strong,
healthy tissue and relieve the blood and
system Of diseased matter. Its iniu-
ence is toward stimulating the muco-
cells. aiding digestion and improving
nutrition until the whole body vibrates
with healthy activity. In compare
lively short time it brings about no.
ticeable gain in weight, strength, good
color and feeling of buoyancy.
We urge you to try RexaI 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
quibbie. We have Rexali Mucu-Tone
in two sizes, so cents and 81. Remem-
Der you can obtain Rexall Remedies in
Marshalltown only at our store-The

OATS MAY BE DAMAGED.
Few Days viii Develop What Was Elk
tent Of Injury


That some damage at least was done
TO the oats crop is the general opinion
Of farmers who had planted oats
few weeks ago that had sent up its
green glades to height of one or two
inches. Just how much this damage
will be the farmers say they are unable
yet to judge, and that it will require a
few days to show the extent of the in
jury.
1t is generally believed, however. that
there has been damage done by the
freezes Of Friday and Saturday night.
In some instances it is thought that the
injury will be quite considerable, and
may be so serious that it will require
that the fields be reseeded In other
| instances it is thought that the freezes
were not serious enough but that the
oats will recover from it. However, even
should it require reseeding in some To-
calities there is time for this provided
, the weather and the condition of the
soil allows it within the next week or
ten days.

Did DUTY under plffieultie..


A gatekeeper in the employ of the
Hessian railway company was recent
ly the hero of an amusing incident.
His wife being i'll, he went himself to
milk the goat, but the stubborn crea-
ture would not let him come near it,
as it had always been accustomed to
have this operation performed by it's
mistress. After many fruitless efforts.
ae at length decided to put on his
Hife's clothes. The experiment sue
:eeded admirably, but the man had
not time to doff his disguise before
the train approached, and the gate
keeper ran to his accustomed post.
His appearance produced quite SEN
sation upon the officials of the pass
Ing train. The case was reported and
IN inquiry instituted, which. however,
resulted in his favor, as the railway
authorities granted the gatekeeper a
ratuity of 10 marks for his faithful
discharge of his duties.
