terrific battle with the flames at the

The loss, to large extent in expen'

is covered by insurance, divided az

Only about $4,000 of this insurance
is carried in Butte, the remainder be

FREE IF IT FAILS.
Your Money Back If You Are Not
Satisfied With the Medicine


We are so positive that our remedy
VIA permanently relieve constipation,
no matter how chronic it may be, that
we offer to furnish the medicine at our
expense should it fail to produce salts
factory results.
It is worse than useless to attempt
to cure constipation with cathartic
drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do
much harm. They cause reaction,
irritate, and weaken the bowels and
tend to make constipation more
chronic. Besides, their use becomes a
habit that is dangerous.
Constipation is caused by a weak
ness of the nerves and muscles OF
the large intestine or descending
colon. To expect permanent relief
you must therefore tone up and
strengthen these organs and restore
them to healthier activity.
We want you to try Rexall Order
lies on our recommendation. They
are exceedingly pleasant to take, be-
ing eaten like candy, and are ideal
for children, delicate persons, and old
folks, as we'll as for the robust. They
act directly on the nerves and muscles
of the bowels. They apparently have
neutral action on other associate
organs or glands. They do not purge
cause excessive looseness, nor create
any inconvenience whatever. They
may be taken at any time, day OF
night. They will positively relieve
chronic or habitual constipation, il
not of surgical variety, and the
myriads of associate. or dependen
chronic ailments, if taken with regu
larity for a reasonable length of time
