CONFIDENCE.
We Back up Our Statements with
Our Personal Reputation and
Money!

We are so positive that we can relieve
constipation, no matter how chronic it
may be, that we offer to furnish the
medicine free of all cost if we fail
We think that it ID worse than useless
to attempt to cure constipation with
cathartic drugs. Cathartics may do
much harm. They may cause re
action, irritate and weaken the bowels,
and make constipation more chronic.
Constipation is often ACCOMPANIED
and may be caused by weakness of
the nerves and muscles of the large
intestine or colon. To expect cure you
must therefore tone up and strengthen
those parts and restore them to healthier
activity.
The discovery of the active principle
of our remedy involved the labor of
skillful research chemists. This remedy
produces results such as are expected
from the best of the best known intestinal
tonics, and it is particularly prompt in
its results.
We want you to try Rexall Orderlies
on our guarantee. They are exceedingly
pleasant to take and are ideal for chill
dren. They apparently act directly on
the nerves and muscles of the bowels,
having, it would seem, neutral action
on other organs or glands. They do
not purge or cause inconvenience. If
they do not positively cure chronic or
habitual constipation and thus relieve
the myriads of associate or dependent
chronic ailments, your money will be
refunded. Try Rexall Orderies at our
risk. Three sizes of packagds, 10c., 25c.,
and SOC. Remember, you can obtain
Rexall Remedies in this community
only at our store-The Rexall Store.

aged 1913 bushels per acre. 1t Is es-.

acre will produce about ten tons OF
corn silage. The average COW eats

about twenty-three and one-hallf II. bush 1l's

Thus the total corn consumed per cow
