Ben Davis apple, and is not ashamed
of it, although it is said Missouri
farmer always ships his Ben Davis
fruit and reserves the less attractive
and more palatable varieties for home
use. However, Missouri has revenge
upon the Chicago newspapers humor-
lists. who are continually making fun
OF the mealy Ben Davis. for at the
present time Missouri apples are SELL
ing in Chicago at 25 cents. And Chi
cago gladly pays the price.

causing Chicago and other cities to
sit up and take notice. is called the

ri Horticultural board. and is gener-

MILLIONS OF LIVES
An Awful Toll Collected by Consump-
tion. Many Unnecessary Deaths.

If people could only understand that
systematic catarrh is an internal dis
ease that external applications can
not cure, they would not need to be
warned so often about the malady,
which, when neglected. paves the way
oftentimes for consumption, at the
cost of millions of lives every year.
Yet catarrh may be cured If the right
treatment is employed
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 inter
nal lining of the body is toned up and
made capable of resisting the infec
ton of consumption and other dis
cases.
We have a remedy prepared from
the prescription of a physician who
for thirty years studied and made ca
tarrh specially. and whose record
was a patient restored to health in
every case where his treatment was

is Rexall Mucu-Tone We are so posi-
tive 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.
