Millions of Lives
An Awful Toll objected by Con-
sumption. Many Unnecessary
Deaths

If people could only understand
that systemic catarrh is an inter-
nal disease that external applications
cannot cure, they would not need to
be warned so often about this rhalady
which, when neglected, paves the way
oftentimes for consumption, at the
cost of many 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
eases.
We have a remedy prepared from
the prescription of a physician who
for thirty years studied and made ca
tarrh a specially, and whose record
was a patient restored to health In
every case where his treatment was
followed as prescribed. That rem
edy Is Rexall Mucu-Tone. We are so
positive that it will completely over
come 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 and
guarantee. We are right here where
you live, and you do not contract any
obligation or risk when you try Rexall
Mucu-Tone on our guarantee. We
have Rexall Mucu-Tone In two sizes
so cents and $100. Very often the
taking of one 50-cent bottle is suffi-
cient to make a marked impression
upon the case. OF course In chronic
cases longer treatment Is necessary.
The average In such instances is
three $100 bottles. Remember you
can obtain Rexall Remedies In Show
hogan only at our store-The Rexall
Store. F. W. Buchanan.

Grange Notes
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
PITTSFIELD.

Pittsfield Grange met Saturday af-
ternoon, January Z, with Worthy
Master Libby in the chair which he
has filled SO faithfully for the past
two years. We all regret that he
and his family are going to leave the
State for a time at least to care for
a sick relative. We are sure the best
wishes of his many friends go with
him.
After an account of the State
Grange at Augusta the meeting was
turned over to the lecturer. Program:
Reading, Sist Emma Phinney,
question, What crops have paid the
best the past season, and what have
we learned that will profit us in the
work of another year?' The question
was opened by Brother Slipp. He was
fortunate and sold his potatoes early
in the season and realized good pro-
fit. Most of the speakers seemed to
favor sweet corn and 1t looks as
though potatoes would get the cold
shoulder next season. Sister Wilson
gave a reading. also Sister Getchell
the Worthy Master, gave declama-
ton and Sister Willis told a story
then a reading by Sister Gould.
Next Saturday the Grange will in
stall it's new officers with Sister Kate
Ellis of Fairfield as installing officer
1t will be an all-day meeting and will
be opened to the public in the after
noon.
The next meeting of the Union
Grange will be held at Exeter, Janu-
ary IS. The address of welcome will
be given by G. G. Grinnell of Exeter
and the response by Sister Blaisdell
of Palmyra Grange. Program: Quo
tations; question box; question: rs
l. profitable for the average farmer
to keep pure bred stock rather than
graded scrub?" Remainder of program
