Causes Debility
Here Are Facts Backed Up
by a Strong Guarantee
Catarrh cau9es debility.' In our
opinion, most people suffering from
general debility have catarrh. Such
cases of debility cannot be completely
cured by medicine not designed to
eradicate catarrh. In every case where
our remedy falls to give entire satis
faction we will not charge a cent for
the medicine employed during the trial.
Now, surely no one should hesitate to
believe us or to put our claim to a
practical test under such conditions.
We will take all the risk; no one else
can lose anything by the transaction.
We make these statements and this
offer because we know and have time
and again proved that Rexall Mucu
Tone rarely fails to do as we claim.
It is not a cureall prescribed to cure
.every disease that flesh is heir to. It
is intended for one purpose, 1. to
cure catarrh by assailing the diseased
condition In a reasonable, scientific
way, which is to employ agents that
have been found to have the tonic and
alterative power to correct faulty
metabolism (tissue change) and to
stimulate and help nature overcome the
cause or causes of catarrh. This being
done, appetite Increases, nutrition Im
proves, weight is gained, comfort or
body is attained and life's work taken
up with the zest natural to the per
fectly healthy individual.

regularly and consistently for a. rea
sonable length of time. Then, if you
