HAY FEVER CONQUERED EY NEW PRESCRIPTION Thanks to a remarkable new prescription known as Rinex Prescription, developed by a Cleveland specialist after 8 years’ intensive study of Hay Fever, Mr. Charles Farmer, of 37914 Beatrice Avenue, Johnstown, Pa., reports he is entirely free of his Hay Fever tortures, and similar reports from thousands have come from all over the country. Says Mr. Farmer: “I have tried 1 hund’reds of different remedies, but Kinex is the only thing that ever did me any good. 1 had Hay Fever as bad us any man in the country, i but can truthfully say that 1 can I hardly notice it since I started talcing Dr. Platt's Rinex.” Only a few wars ago it was discovered that Hay Fever is not a simple surface disease or irritation, but that the pollens in the air are absorb'd through the thin nose membranes into the blood itself, and so cause a poisoning ot the entire system. Dr. Flatt’s Rinex, taken internally in simple capsule form, goes direct to this pollen poisoning throughout the system and neutralizes it completely. So in 95 per cent cf all cases, all the sneezing, runny eyes and nose, headache, fever, etc., disappear in 24 hours. In fact, complete relief in 24 hours is positively guaranteed, or it costs you nothing. , . „ , , If vou want to be satisfied that Rinex will help your case of Hay Fever, vou can get a 24-hour treatment. FREE, from your druggist; or rou can buy a full week’s treatment for $1 on a positive moneyback guarantee. Rinex Prescription may be obtained on this absolute guarantee at all good druggists,
