The Hcmingford Journal asks its
merchants and citizens generally to
Kite information as to how the city
might or could be improrcd. What a
wonderful impetus to public spirit
would this simple request give if every
person would avail himself of tho
opportunity to contribute this portion
of sorvice. Why "hould not the citi
zen who owos his living, his protect
ion, his schooling, to a certain munici
pality givo a little thought about
bettering or ndvancing that municipal
ity? The editor may bo depended up
on to do his part but for the love of
country don't let him do it all. And
ay, if the idea Is good for Hcmingford
It is good for Hed Cloud. Now don't

Eaeriy aid Vitality.
Thousands of women vainly attempt
to improve their complexions and to
remove blackheads, crows' feet and
other blemishes, through tho uso of
cosmetics. This treatment falls bo
cause tho trouble lies far deeper than
the skin. They are suffering from im
pure and impoverished blood. This
condition is in many cases due to a
catarrhal condition of tho whole sys
tem which finds Its expression in sal
low, muddy complexion, dark circled
eyes, general weakness of tho system,
and perhaps most plainly In tho weep
ing of mucous membranes that is com
mon 1 called catarrh.
In fact this wholo tendency is,
properly speaking, Catarrh. Banish
this eatm th, aud the complexion will
clear as If by magic, eyes will bright
en, faces become rosy and shoulders
erect Perfect beauty goes only with
pel feet health, and perfect health for
women can only be obtained through
one certain treatment that which will
cure catarrh.
Mmo. Swift, Now York, tho famous
beauty specialist known through-out
the world and nn accepted authority
on all relating thereto, states that the
one positive and permanent relief for
catarrh Is Kexall Muco-Tone. Hero Is
her letter:
"I can strongly endorse the claims
made for Kexall Mucu-Tono as a cure
for systemic catarrh. Its tonic effects
arc remarkable. It builds up the
strength and restores vitality. If
women who are tired and run down,
lacking iu energy and vitality, will use
Rcxall Mucu-Tone, they will praise as
I do its strengthening and healing
qualities,"
Rexall Mucu-Tone works through
the blood, acting thus upon the muc
ous cells the congestion and inflam
mation of which causes local catarrh.
This remedy causes poison to be ex
pelled from the system, and the blood
is purified and rovitalized. Thus the
natural functions of the mucous cells
are restored, and tho membranes are
cleansed and mado strong. Wc know
that Rexall Mucu Tone does relieve ca
tarrh. Wo positively guarantee to re
fund the money paid us for this reme
dy in every case whero the user is
dissatisfied. It is a builder of vigorous
health aud a creator of good complex
ions. Price GO cents and 81 por bottle.
