manufacture, plus single retail profit.
One noticeable feature of this busi-
ness, and very commendable one, is
that no one remedy manufactured by
this company is a 'cure-all." Each
one of the many different remedies is a
known and dependable treatment for a
particular ailment. The confidence of
druggists interested in this enterprise
is unquestionably demonstrated by this
guarantee, which is printed on every
package: 1.-The United Drug Co., and
The ReXall Store selling this prepara
tlon guarantee it to give satisfaction.
If it does not, go back to the store
where you bought it and get your
money-it belongs to you, and we want
you to have it.
This is certainly an innovation that
must appeal to the people of Wabeno.
1t insures safety and satisfaction be-
cause our own local druggist, Mr.. M.
O. Boehm, who is SO well known and
highly respected for his integrity, is
connected with this enterprise and is
stalking his own personal reputation on
the quality of these remedies, and the
very frankness with which he takes the
people of Wabeno into his confidence
insures an unprecedented success for
these remedies, which are sold under
the trade-name -exall, which means
King -of-All. From reports coming from
hundreds of towns and cities, the ReXall
Remedies are certainly demonstrating
their full title to the name.
Those who have previously refused to
buy proprietary medicines because there
was no way of ascertaining their In
gradients, can now purchase ReXan
Remedies, the formulas of which tney
can have for the asking. Besides, they
are sold by concern personally known
to you and located right here in our
own city, who guarantees that they are
in every way as represented or tDey
will cost nothing.
keXall OrderlIes are one of these
remedies. They are for the treatment
of constipation in every form, except 1t
be of a surgical nature. They are
eaten like candy and do not cause grip
ing, excessive Iooseness or other annoy
ances whatever, They come i'll three
sizes, ten, twenty-five and fifty cents.
The proprietor of the Wabeno Drug
Store is SO well and favorably known
for his sterling honesty and square deal
ing that we predict great success for
him with the keXall Remedies, and he
is to be heartily congratulated in bring
ing this great and modern business en-
prise to Waheno.
We urge all who may be in need of
prepared medicines to call at the Wa
benc Drug Store, and learn about the
Rexall Remedies. Enterprise of This
sort should be encouraged.

RICH AND FERTILE LAND
M. j. Wallrich Speaks of the
Opportunities in Northern
Wisconsin.

''Much has been written and said by
experts on the climate of the upper
half of Wisconsin, about the fertility of
the soil and the great wealth still re-
naming in the hardwood, the undevel-
oped mines, the great amount of energy
stored in water powers and about the
many fine streams draining this terri
tory and the many beautiful lakes else
where to be found adding charm to this
part of the state. This section of Wis
consin located between two trans-con-
tinental routes of transportation, the
one on the north by the way of the
great lakes, the other just short dis
tance south of this section, passing
through Chicago, the greatest center
of distribution. Between these two
nationpl highways and within short
distance of either, and the farthest
within twelve hours ride of Chicago, lie
10, 600, 600 acres of land in this state, as
fertile as can be found anywhere, un-
developed and ready for the settler.
THE location assures the settler a
ready market for whatever surplus he
may have in grain, hay, potatoes, but
tel, cneese, eggs, poultry, beef, pork,
etc, Which this country produces, and
at prices which leaves good profit for
the farmer. People who have already
