When a medicine effects a cure in 98 per cent of cases, and when we offer that medicine on our personal guarantee that it will cost the user nothing if it does not cure Catarrh, j it is only reasonable that people should I believe us, or at least put our claim to a practical test when we take all the risk. These are facts which we want the people of Decatur to substantiate. We want them to try Rexall MucuTone, a medicine prepared from a prescription of a physician whose specialty was Catarrh, and who has a record cf thirty years of cures to his credit. We sell more bottles and receive more good reports about Rexall MucuTone than we do cf all other catarrh remedies sold in cur store, and if mere people only knew what a thoroughly dependable remedy Rexall Mucu-Tone is it would be the only catarrh medicine we would have any demand for. Rexall Mucu-Tone is quickly absorbed and carried by the blood until it thoroughly disinfects and cleanses the entire mucous menbranous tract, destroys and removes the parasites which injure and destroy the membranous tissues, soothes and heals the irritation and soreness, stops the mu- | ecus discharge, and buids up strong, healthy tissue, relieves the blocd and I system of diseased matter, stimulates the muco-cells, aids digestion and improves nutrition until the whole body vibrates with healthy activity. In a comparatively short time there is a most noticeable gain in weigh:, strength, good color and felbig of i buoyancy. We urge you to try Mucu-Tone, be ginning a treatment today. At any time you are not satisfied, simply com» and tell us, and we will quickly return your money without question or quibble. We have Rexall Mucu-Tone in two sizes. 50c. and SI.OO.

ENJOY SERVICES Splendid Audiences Continue to Attend CHtistian Church Meetings INTEREST GROWS Excellent Themes Furnish Good Thought for the Congregation , A splendid audience assembled at the Christian church last night. A good audience was also present Saturday night and Sunday morning. The theme for Saturday night was the atonement. The subject was made comprehensible by the evangelist, although it is usually madq so mysterious that it is difficult to understand, j The solo by Mrs. Crabb was very ap-' propriate and beautiful: “Saved by the Crucified One.” The Sunday morning discourse was on the Communion, or Lord's Supper. He considers that the general trend of scripture’teaching up- . on the subject is that it should be ob- j ' served every Lord’s day. Special song < rendered by the soloist was "Nailed to the Cross." The afternoon talk was on the "Teaching force of the Church." j It was splendid, but few were present ! to hear it, although it would have been helpful to all who care at all for Sunday school work. One could wish that every member of every church i would learn and apply this little coup-1 let: “If all church members were just like me, What kind of a church would my church be.” But no fault could be found with the audience on last night. His sermon on the “Keys of the Kingdom,” which were delivered to> the aspostles but
