GROUP ENDS LIFE.
Many Children Die of Group Every
Year Before a Doctor can be
Summoned.

Parents of children should be pre-
pared at all times for spasm of
Group.
Keep in the house remedy that
will give instant relief and keep the
child from choking until the arrival
of the physician.
Get SO cent bottle of HYOMEI
today and in case of an attack of
Group pour 20 drops into kitchen
bowl of boiling water. Hold the
child's head over the bowl SO that it
can breath the soothing, penetrating
vapor that arises. In the meantime
send for a physician.
This treatment has saved the lives
of many children and is a precaution
that all parents should promptly
take.
HYOMEI is sold by VanWerden
& Kopp and druggists everywhere
and is guaranteed for Group, catarrh
asthma and bronchitis.

HELPFUL HINTS ON HAIR
HEALTH.
Scalp and Hair Troubles Generally
Caused by Carelessness.

| Dandruff is contagious disease
caused by a microbe which also pro-
duces badness. Never use comb
or brush belonging to some one else.
No matter how clearly the owner
may be, these articles may be infect
ed with microbes, which will infect
your scalp. 1t is far easier to catch
hair microbes than it is to get rid
of them, and single stroke of an
infected comb or brush may we'll
lead to badness. Never try on any
body else's hat. Many a hat-band is
resting place for microbes.
If you happen to be troubled with
dandruff, itching scalp, falling hair
or badness, we have a remedy which
we believe will completely relieve
these troubles. We are so sure of
this that we offer it to you with the
understanding that it will cost you
nothing for the trial if it does not
produce the results we claim. This
remedy is called Rexall "93" Hair
Tonic. We honestly believe it to be
the most scientific remedy for scalp
and hair troubles, and we know Of
nothing else that equals it for effect
iveness, because of the results it has
produced in thousands of cases.
Rexall 1913" Hair Tonic is devised
to Danish dandruff, restore natural
color when its loss has been brought
about by disease, and make the hair
naturally silky, soft and glossy. 1t
does this because it stimulates the
hair follicles, destroys the germ mat
ter, and brings about free, healthy
circulation of blood, which nourishes
the hair roots, causing them to
tighten and grow new hair. We
want everybody who has any trouble
with hair or scalp to know that we
think that Rexall "93" Hair Tonic
is the best hair tonic and restorative
in existence, and no one should scott
at or doubt this statement until they
have put our claims to fair test,
with the understanding that they
pay us nothing for the remedy If it
does not give full and complete sat
isfaction in every particular. Two
sizes, SO cents and 800. Remem-
Der, you can obtain Rexall Remedies
in Leon only at our store-The Rex
all Store. Bell e Robinson.
