STRENGTH FOR OLD PEOPLE.

Old people to overcome the weaken
ing, debilitating effects of increasing old
age, often make very sad mistake in
using so-called remedies" that contain
alcohol and dangerous or habit-forming
drugs. Often this stuff, because it livens
and brightens them up little just after
taking a dose, leads them to imagine
that it is doing them good, when it ism t..
Remedies that rely for their sale on such
deceit, do harm, because the false eX-
citement of the nerves and heart leaves
them worse than they were before.
Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion is a real
medicine-a splendid body and strength
builder, especially good for old people,
because it furnishes to the system in
gradients necessary to rebuild wasted
tissues, strengthen the nerves, give new
energy and a younger and livelier feel
ing to the body. 1t doesn't contain a
drop of alcohol nor any dangerous drug.
1t may not make you feel better after
the first dose, nor perhaps for several
days. But if you don feel much better
and stronger before you have taken a
quarter as much as you have of other
medicines that didn't help you, we will
gladly give you back your money. That's
certainly square deal.
The four Hypophosphites it contains
are used by leading physicians every
where in debility, weakness and liability
to disease. to tone and strengthen the
nerves. Purest Olive Oil, one of the
most nutritious. most -easily-digested
foods known, being taken with the hy-
pOphOsphites, gives rich tissue nourish-
ment to the entire system.
You who are weak and rundown, and
you who are apparently well now, but
are liable to suffer from various cold
weather ailments, use Rexall Olive Oil |
Emulsion to get and keep well and strong. |
For the tried-out, rundown, nervous, |
emaciated or debilitated-the convalesc-
ing growing children-aged people-it
is a sensible pleasant tasting aid to re.
newed strength. better spirits, glowing
health. If it does not help you, your
money will be given back to you without
