A Close Relation Has Been Established Between These Two Diseases. “Catarrh is clearly the cause of de- bility,” said Mr, A, H, Cosden, Gen- eral Manager of Riker’s Drug Stores, “No person free of catarrh, in my opinion, was ever troubled with de-' bility, So you will readily under- stand that the cure of debility de- pends entirely on the cluaning out of the eatarrhal parasites, No debility cure will ever cure yon as long as you have catarrh, Cxtarrh is the cause, Debility {8 the result. Then you get rid of the cause. No remedy will ever cure you but a catarrh rem- edy, and no other remedy will do it but Rexall Mucu-Tone, I mace this statement because we know what Mucu-Tone js and what it will do— and doesn’t it stand to reason that a remedy designed for one particular purpose—as Mucu-Tone for catarrh only—is going to give results a hun- dred times better than a cure-all that | aims at every disease in the diction- ary?

Maxwell predicted on the ove of the struggle that those oppesed to him would not have more The preliminary teat showed that the poard was a little timid In the presence of the Superintendent, On ayproposition | to substitute the minority the ma- jority or Maxwoll report om the "fad" question, the vote was 19 to 16. Then when It was found that Maxwell had at last really lost control of the board, there was a rush to turn his aefeat Into a Waterloo by the vote already re- lated. ‘The fight Insted three hours.
