WHY HESITATE?
An Offer That Involves no Money
Risk if You Accept It,

We are so positive our remedy will
completely relieve constipation, no
matter how chronic it may be, that we
offer to furnish it free of all cost il it
fails.
Constipation is commonly caused by
weakness of the nerves and muscles
of the large Intestine. To expect a
cure you must therefore tone up and
strengthen those organs and restore
them to healt hier activity.
We want you to try Rexall Orderlies
on our guarantee. They are eaten like
candy, and are particularly good for
Oh ildren. They seem TO act directly on
the nerves and muscles of the bowels.
They apparently have neutral action
on the other organs. They do not purge
or cause other inconvenience. We will
refund your money if they do not
overcome chronic or habitual cOnstipa-
ton and thus aid to relieve the myraids
of associate or dependant chronic all
ments. Try Rexall Orderlies at our
risk. Three sizes, 1Oc, 25c., aud soc.

RHEUMATISM GONE
This Maine Mans Hands Were
Swollen and Useless and His
Heart Was Affected.

Rheumatism defes any treatment
that does not build up and purify
the blood. The poisons of rheumatism
are in the blood and it is only through
the blood that the disease can be fought
successfully.
Unless the blood is weak and impure,
rheumatism cannot get a foothold.
When it does the thin and impure
blood IS not strong enough to overcome
the poisons alone. Unjust bestrength-
ened and purified. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People are the best blood
building medicine you can take. They
make new blood with every dose and
promptly check further progress of the
disease. They make the blood so pure
and strong that not the least trace of
rheumatism remains.
Mr.. ID. Warren Hadlock, whose adj
dress is r. F. D. No. 1, Kennebunk-
port, Me-, says: 81 recommend DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People

cine in the world. I wac almost Grip

abnormal size and the pain in my fin
gers and wrists was so intense that I

tors and was given treatment with cleo
tricity. They all thought they could
cure me but, although was under the
care of doctor for the greater part of
four years, received but little help. A
neighbor urged me to try DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People as they had
cured her of rheumatism. / finally did
so and was cured after a thorough treat
ment with them. The pills were the
first thing that had ever done me any
good and my cure is permanent.

IRON ORE FIND
IN Pennsylvania Declared to Have
Bo Exaggerated by Gov
ernment Officials

WASHINGTON. March 31.-The re-
Gently reported discovery OF a billion
tons OF iron ore In Fulton county,
pennsylvania. Is a physical and chem
ical impossibility. according To the
United States geological survey. which
made public tonight the result. OF an
investigation.
The survey finds that a billion tons
OF iron would occupy a volume nearly
equal to the mass OF the three hills
in which the deposit was alleged TO
be found. The investigation shows
that the hills probably contain sew
eral million o OF low grade red
iron ore and may contain a small
amount OF high grade brown ore and
more low grade brown ore.
