PARC PERDUE NOTES.

Many Of the oldest inhabitants
Of this section have stated that
the freezing weather Of last week
was one of the worst III many
years.
Il was believed by many, that
the recent freeze had injured the
orange trees, especially the young
trees but it can not be ascertain
ed at this time the amount of
damage done TO the orange trees
The hardy satSumas wlthstood the
freeze well and no fears are en-
tentained for their safety.
Damage to garden truck and
fruit trees cannot be estimated
az present, but will probably De
heavy.
Some fear is expressed for tn"
safety If the cane Stubbles and the
seed cane IN windrow. Some report
however, that whera the seed cane
was properly covered and the land
we'll drained, they are as sound as
a dollar.
Cotton growers think that the
late freeze eXtcrminated the boil
weevils in this section and that il
will be a boon to cotton growers
this year; but they have Judged
wrongly. as they are visible in
fence posts. old logs and even in
the cotton patches in large mum
bers
Warmer weather is now pre-
ailing here and some farmers are
busy blowing this week.

MILLIONS OF LIVES
An Awful Toll Collected by
Consumption. Many Unneces'
SArV Deaths.

If the people could only under
stand that systemic catarrah is
an internal dessase that external
applications cannot cure, they
would not need to be warned so
often about this malady, which,
when neglected, paves the way
oftentimes for consumption, at
the cost of millions of lives every
year. Yet catarrah may be
cured, if the right treatment is
employed.
The only way to successfully
treat catarrah Is by employing a
medicine which is absorbed and
carried by the blood to all parts
of the system, so that the muc-
Gus membrane or internal lining
of the body is tuned up and made
capable of resisting the infection
of consumption and other dis
eases.
We have a remedy prepared
from the prescription of ply
stefan who for thirty years stu
died and made catarrah speci-
atty, and whose record was q
patient restored to health in
every case where his treatment
was followed as prescribed
That remedy is Rexall Mucu-
Tone. We are 50 positive that it
will completely overcome catar-
rah in all its various forms, whe.
Their 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 recommends

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 Sl00. Very
often the taking of one 5O-cent
bottle is sufficient to make a
marked impression upon the
case. OF course in chronic cases
longer treatment is necessary
