If people could only, understankl
that systemic catarrh is an internal
disease that extenal applications
can hot cure, they would not need
to be warned so often about this
malady, which, when neglected,
paves the way oftentimes for con
sumption, at the sost of millions of
lives every year. Yet catarrh may
be' cured, if the right treatment is
-employed .
Catarrh is caused by a general dis
eased state of the system which
leads commonly to annoying and per
haps serious local conditions, which
may prove a fertile breeding ground
for germs of consumption. External
remedies give but temporary ease.
The only way, to successfully treat
catarrh is by employing a medicine
which is absorbed and carried by
the blood to all parts of the system
so that the mucous membrance or m
iemal lining of the body is toned up
and made capable of resisting the in
fection of consumption and other
diseases.
Wo have a remedy prepared from
The prescription of a physician who
tor thirty years studied r anct : made"
catarrh a' specialty, and whose- rec
ord was patieat restored to health
in every case where his treatment
was followed as prescribed. That
remedy is Rexall Mucu-Tone. We are
so positive that it will completely
overcome catarrh in all its various
forms, whether acute or chronic,
that we promise to return every
penny, paid us for the medicine in
every case where it fails or for any
reason does not satisfy the user.
We want you to try Rexall , Mucu

you live, and you do not contract
any obligation or risk when you try

to see how he played this part, it .
is not from a desire to expose Mr.
Whitman to contempt, but rather to
question the system of tariff mak
ing which allows single selfish in
terests to dictate national legisla

the leading spirit in the National
Association of Wool Manufacturers,
and with him in this last tariff up
heaval stood the interests of W.

Woolen Company, the so-called trust
which controls one-third or move

National Association has a large
sounding name suggestive of the
purpose of the usual trade associa

membership is small, has been to
handle legislation. The handling of
