no CAUSE TO DOUBT
A Statement of Facts Backed by a
Strong Guarantee

We guarantee immediate and posi-
tive relief to all sufferers from con-
stipation. In every case where our
remedy fails to do this we will re-
turn the money paid us for it. That's
frank statement of facts, and We
want you to substantiate them at our
risk.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten just like
candy, are particularly prompt and
agreeable in action, may be taken at
any time, day or night; do not cause
diarrhoea, nausea, gripping. excessive
looseness, or other undesirable eff
fects. They have a very mild but
positive action upon the organs with
which they come in contact, apparent
ly acting as a regulative tonic upon
the relaxed muscular coat of the bow
ell, thus overcoming weakness, and
aiding to restore the bowels to more
vigorous and healthy activity.
Rexall Orderlies are indispensable
and ideal for the use of children, old
folks and delicate persons. We can
not too highly recommend them to
all sufferers from any form of con-
stipation and its attendant evils.
That's why we back our faith in them
with our promise of money back If
they do not give entire satisfaction.
Three sizes: IL tablets 10 cents, 36
tablets % cents and 80 tablets so
cents. Remember. you can obtain
Rexall Remedies in Skowhegan only
at our store-The Rexall Store. F. w.
