Policy Men He Discharged Un- known to Him and Proof of Crime Was Not Presented in His Court.

Catarrh is the name by which this disease is usually known. Mucu-Tone is a constitutional remedy—by that we mean that it works through the blood to every part of the body. It is a safe, quick-acting tonic, and the first dose causes the blood to move vigorously. This action revives the activity of the tiny muco-cells, and enables them to throw off the poison caused by the inflammation. In addition to its tonie proper- ties, Mucu-Tone contains medicines that soothe the sore membranes an repair the damage caused hy the disease. | At the first appearance of a cold | yeu should begin taking Mucu- Tone.
