If people could only understand that Catarrh is an internal scrofula —that nothing applied externally does much ! good—they would not need to be warned so often about inis ratal disease, which, when neglected, invariably ends up in Consumption, at the cost of millions of lives every year. Yet Catarrh is easily cured if the right treatment is employed. Catan h is caused by germs in the blood which circulate throughout the entire system. External remedies give but temporary ease. (Although the effects are often seen in the form of pimples, rash, eczema or dry scaly skin, the trouble is internal, and can never be cured by external remedies. The only way to cure Catarrh is by employing a medicine which is absorbed and carried by the blood to all parts of the system, so that the mucous membrane or internal lining of the body is thoroughly medicated, soothed, disinfected of germ matter, and the soreness healed. We have a remedy prepared from the prescription of a physician who for thirty years studied and made Catarrh a specialty, and whose record of success wag a cure in every case where his treatment was followed as prescribed. That remedy is Rexall MucuTone. We are so positive that it will cure 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 to cure or for any reason does not satisfy the user. We want you to try Rexall MucuTone on our recommendation and guarantee. We are right here where you live, and you do not contract any obligation or risk when you try Rexall Mucu-Tone on our guarantee. We have Rexall Mucu-Tone in two sizes. The prices are 50c. and sl. Very often the 50c. size effects a cure. Os course, in chronic cases a longer treatment is necessary. The average in such instances is three SI.OO bottles.
