THE ENTERPRISE
CONFIDENCE
We Back up Our State
ment with Our Personal
Reputation and Money
We ace so positive that we can
relieve constipation, no» matter how
chrehric it may be, that we offer to
furnish the medicine free of all cost
if ff? fail.
We thnk that it is worse than
Uflelrss to attempt to cure constipa-
tion with cathartic drugs. Cathar
tics may do much hntm. They
may cause a reaction, iiritatr and
weaken the towels, and make con
stipation more chronic.
Constipation is often accompain
ed and may be caused by weakness
of the nerves and muscles of the
large intestine or colon. To expect
a cure you must therefore tone up
aud strengthen those parts and res
tore them to healthier activity.
The discovery of the active prin
ciples of our remedy Involved the
labor of skiltul research chemists.
This remedy produces results such
as are ex|«cted from the best
known intestinal tonics, and it is
particularly prompt iu us results.
We want you to try Rexall Or
derlies on our guarantee. They
are exceedingly pleasant to take
aud are ideal for children. They
apparently net directly on the
nerves and muscles of tbe bowels,
i having, it wuu'.d seem, a neutral
I action .on other organs or glands,
j They do not purge or cau«e incon
vience. It they do Vict positively
cure chronic or habitual constipa
tion aud thus relieve the myriads
of associate or dependent chronic
ailments, your money will be re
funded. Try Rexall Orderlies at

after all are the actual promoters of
these financial institutions. It is
not always the wealthy men who
support these local banks, but the
farmers and small depositors who
gradully swell the antiunl state

Taking ibises * basis, it will be
seen th«t Martin County is ou the

its nut earnings over all expenses
showed a fraction over 25 per cent.
The liumber ot new accounts
opened during the year showed
