The CAUSE OF COLDS.
Good Advice Regarding the Preven.
ton of Cou0hS and Colds.

If people would only fortify and
strengthen the system, the majority
of cases of coughs, colds and pneu
monia might be avoided. These
troubles are frequently due to weak
ness, which produces catarrhal
condition of the mucous membrane,
which is an internal skin of the body.
When this skin is weakened it be-
comes easily infected with germs
which cause many of the diseases
to which flesh is heir. Healthy mu-
cous membranes are essential safe
guards of the bodys general health.
An excellent aid in the prevention
of coughs, colds, pneumonia, and
such like infectious diseases, is a
remedy that will prevent or cure
catarrh.
estly believe to be unsurpassed in
excellence for the prevention of
coughs, colds and all catarrhal con-
ditions. 1t is the prescription of a
famous physician, who has an en-
viable reputation of thirty years of
cures gained through the use of this
formula We promise to make no
charge for the medicine should it fail
to do as we claim. We urge every
body who has need of such a medi-
cine to try Rexall Mucu-Tone.
1t stands to reason that we could
not afford to make such statements
and give our own personal guarantee
to this remedy it we were not pre-
pared to prove the reasonableness of
our claim in every particular, and we
see no reason why any one should
hesitate to accept our offer and try it.
| We have two sizes of Rexall Mucu-
| Tone, prices SO cents and $1.00.
| Sometimes 50-cent bottle is suffi-
cient to give marked relief. AS a
general thing the most chronic case
is relieved with an average of three
large bottles. You can obtain Rexall
