Millions Of Lives
An Awful Toll Collected BY
Consumption. Many I'm.
necessary Deaths.

If people could only understand that
systemic 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, payes the way oftentimes for
consumption, at the cost of millions of
lives every year. Yet catarrh may be
cured, if the right treatment is en-
ployed.
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 internal lining
of the body is toned up and made capa-
BILE Of resisting the infection of consump-
ton and other diseases.
We have remedy prepared from the
prescription of physician who for thir
ty years studied and made catarrh a
specially, and whose record was a pa
tient restored TO health in every case
where his treatment was followed as
prescribed. That remedy is Rexall Mu-
cu-Touc. We are so positive 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 aud guar
antee. We are right here where you
live, and you do not contract any obliga-
ton or risk when you try Rexall Mucu-
Tone on our guarantee. We have two
sizes, 80 cents and slOO. Very often
the taking Of one j0-cent bottle is suii-
cient to make a marked impression upon
the case. OF course in chronic cases a
longer treatment is necessary. The
average in such instances is three SI.O0
bottles. Remember you can obtain
