II This Medicine Does Not Benefit
You Pay Nothing.

A physician who made a specially OF
stomach troubles, particularly dyspepsia
after years of study perfected the formu-
la from which Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets
are made.
Our experience with Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets leads US to believe them to be the
greatest remedy known for the relief OF
acute indigestion and chronic dyspepsia.
Their ingredients are soothing and heal
ing to the infamed membranes OF the
stomach. They are rich in pepsin, one
of the greatest digestive aids known 10
medicine. The relief they afford is
almost immediate. Their use with per-
sistency and regularity for q short time
brings about cessation OF the pains
caused by stomach disorders.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will insure
healthy appetite, aid digestion and pro
mote nutrition. As evidence OF our
sincere faith in Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets,
we ask you to try them at our risk. II
they do not give you entire satisfaction,
we will return you the money you paid
US for them, without question or formal.

Resubmission Is now a fact, and the
fight is on. Let's not criticise any mans
vote on it. Every man bad the right
and was under obligation to vote as he
thought right. But 1t is a good time to
put a question or two TO those Republi.
cans who spent their breath, In what Mr..
Psttangall facetiously called Republi-
can caucus, arguing that the present
estate of the Republican party in this
state is due solely to resubmissiou-or
the neglect of it. Do they really believe
that that is the sole reason for political
conditions in Maine? IL they would car
~ that line OF argument TO its logical
conclusion, they must decide that re-
submission Is the cause of the election
of Democratic governors in Massachu-
setts, New York, New Jersey, and a
number of other states, the election of a
strongly Democratic national house, and
the conversion of a strongly Republican
senate into a body with small and ill.,
secure Republican margin--indeeo, Of
the whole political overturn, which, as
every man who can read knows, was not
confined to Maine or to any state or
section.
