One remedy for each hyman ill. Some three years ago a number of prominent retail druggists — realizing that a big change was to be made in the proprietary medicine business, that the public demanded to know what the ingredients were of the preparations they were advertising, and that a general reform was about to take place in proprietary medicine manufacturing and advertis- ing — formed a co-operative company to of which the undersigned has become one meet the public’s demand. of the two thousand members. ‘This company was called The United Drug Co., Our object was, first; to manufacture a line of prescriptions such as we had tried out in our stores and found to give the very best of results ; and second, by owning our own co-operative manufacturing company we would be able to know the exact formula of every preparation we were selling, thus enabling us to give to the public the very best remedies we could find at actual manufacturing cost, plus a single retail profit. This enabled The United Drug Company to escape the heavy charges for advertising and other expenses such as ‘What was most important, it insures safety and satisfaction to our customers, have to be paid by proprietary remedies. because we druggists know just what we are selling. A committee of experts was appointed who spent a long time in testing the merits of more than two thousand form- ulas and prescriptions recommended by the various druggists constituting the company. From these, about fwo hundred were selected as being the best remedies known to medical science for the cure, each of its particular ailment. ‘The exclusive rights to these remedies were then transferred to The United Drug Company, which has since manu- factured them in its superbly equipped laboratories in Boston under the now famous name of ‘¢ The Rexall Remedies.” The United Drug Company, which manufactures the Rexall Remedies, has already scored the greatest success ever known in the history of the drug business. Note, then, first of all, these facts: ¢Rexall”’ refers not to one rem- edy, but to about three hundred — each for some one particular purpose. Nobody knows better than The United Drug Company druggists the absurdity of the ¢ cure-all.” ) Three of the 300 FOR CATARRH — MUCU-TONE The chief ingredients of Mucu-Tone are Gentian, Cubebs, Cascara Sagrada, Glycerine, and Sarsaparilla, Gentian is recognized in medicine as: one of the greatest tonics ever discovered. Itis the foundation on which Mucu-Tone is built. Gentian combines in high degree the tonic powers of all the known “bitters,” with none of the disadvantages applying to them. Cubebs have long been recognized as a specific in the treatment of all catarrhal condi- tions. Its action is prompt and its benefit almost invariable. In whatever part of the body the inflamed or diseased condition of the mucous membrane exists, the use of Cubebs has been recommended by the best physicians for many generations. Cascara Sagrada is especially introduced for its necessary laxative properties, £ The combination of these with- Glycerine and Sarsaparilla makes Mydcu-Tone: a remedy that attacks catarrh from every point, gradu- ally restores and rebuilds the diseased tissues to their former health and strength, promotes: digestion and creates a normal appetite: | Bottle, soc. its class. bers of the ¢ Rexall"’ family. 2d.

The wonderful results of this remedy are, due to the fact that it supplies Phosphorus to the nerve cells in a condition in which it can be immediately and easily taken up by them. It is the only known preparation in which free Phosphorus — that is, Phosphorus which remains indefinitely unoxidized —is -used. The Glycophosphates, actual nerve-tissue builders, are one of the most recent and valu- able additions to the field of this branch of medicine and unquestionably a more efficient remedythan the well-known Hypophosphites. The Iron Pyrophosphates is the most easily assimilated-form of iron which gives tone and color, and the combined alkaloids of Calisaya Bark have a tonic effect on almost all the functions of the body. In compounding these various elements, the very highest degree of pharmaceutical skill has been employed. 75c. and $1.50 a . bottle. /-EXALL “93° HAIR TONIC The famous Rexall “g93” Hair Tonic is omposed in chief of Resorcin, Beta Naphthol and Pilocarpin.
