his father tell the story which he claims
is genuine.
On the night of the day of his first

found the house dark and doors locked
Not having key, he tapped gently on
the front door, receiving no response he
knocked little harder, when the night
capped head of Mrs. Lincoln appeared
at an upper window with the sharp de-
mand, who's there?"

MAKES OLD PEOPLE
STRONG AND WELL

We want to get the news to all old
people about Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion,
a remarkable new food-medicine which
we firmly believe is the best remedy ever
made to overcome the weakening, de-
biitating effects of increasing old age
1t helps to rebuild wasted tissues, streng-
thens the nerves. and gives new energy
and lively feeling to the body. 1t con-
tains no alcohol or dangerous drug. 1t
may not make you feel better for a few
days, but if you do not feel much better
and stronger before you have taken a
quarter as much as you have of other
medicines that have not helped you, we
will gladly give back your money.
Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion contains
pure Olive Oil and the Hypophosphtes
which though they have long been en-
dorsed by successful physicians, are here
for the first time combined The result
is a real body, nerve and bodybuilding
food medicine that we believe is supe-
rior to anything else in overcoming de-
bility, weakness and liability to dis
ease, and to tone and strengthen the
nerves and enrich the blood. You who
are weak and run-down-you who are
often troubled by various cold weather
ailments, use Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion
to get and keep well and strong. 1t is
a sensible, pleasant-tasting aid to re-
newed strength, better spirits, glowing
health. If it doesn't help you, come and
tell us and we will give back your money
without a word. That is how much

New Discovery ought to be in every
family; it is certainly the best of all
medicines for coughs, colds or lung
