President of the Polk-Miller Drug
Company, Richmond, Va, is authority
for the following extraordinary state
ment:
Il estimate that the business men of
this country could increase their eff
cheney fully ten per cent by taking an
occasional laxative and not neglecting
the bowels as most of them do"
He also said that if the Department
of Commerce in Washington would
present each business man in the coun-
try with a box of Rexar Orderlies, it
would be of great benefit to the ma
tional welfare. RexaIl Orderlies are
prompt in action, pleasant to take and
never grippe, can be used by men, wom-
en- or children, and are just the thing
for toning up sluggish livers.
We have the exclusive selling rights for
this great laxative.
