MYSTERY IS CLEARED.
ί
Body Found Near Iloane Is Positive-
ly Identified as That of Pettltt.
Cleburne Texas. Feb. 19.—Tl»e|
body of the dead man which was ί
found in a creek near Roane Texas
some time ago horribly mutilated
was identified Monday by Mrs. W.
W. Pettitt of this city as 1hat of her
husband from whom she had not
heard since Nov. 8 1907. Mrs. Pet-
titt and her brother M. N. Bauldin
went to Corsicana Sunday and after
viewing the dismembered body es-
tablished by certain marks the iden-
tity ot the victim of supjtosed foul
play as Mrs. Pettitt's missing hus-
band.
Pettitt owned a traveling picture
show and gave an exhibition at
Roane Nov. 8 and since then none
of his people had heard anything of
him or his whereabouts. Two young
men who were seen with him after ;
the performance at Roane and who i
are alleged to have sold the dead
man's three horses and wagon in i
Corsicana are now in the Navarro !
county jail resting under the charge :
of murdering Pettitt for his effects I
and $100 in money that he wi's :
known to have had at that time.
HKWARK OF PHYSIC.
Only Aggravates Stomach Trouble |
ami Never Cures.
I
The trouble with most people ι
who have stomach trouble Is that ^
they do not like to take the time to j
get cured; they overeat and then 1
take physic which simply upsets the i
stomach and never cures.
While relief follows one or two
doses of Mi-o-na stomach tablets ;
chronic and long-standing capes need :
at least two or three weeks' treat-
ment before the sick headaches.
dizzy spells bloating. heartburn
constipation nervousness and other i
symptoms that directly result from j
indigestion are banished never to ]
return.
Mi-o-na is entirely different from '
the ordinary stomach remedies. It is !
taken before meals stimulating the j
secretion of digestive juices and j
strengthening the stomach so thai j
it can do its proper work.
With every 50-cent box of Mi-o-na i
Hood & Curlin give their guarantee !
to refund the money unless the rem- i
edy cures. 276 |
Metz In the Alps.
Those whose good fortune it will
be to be present at the opera house
on Monday night Feb. 24 upon
which occasion Al H. (Metz) Wilson
the ambassador of German dialect
will appear in his inimitable role in
"The New Metz In the Alps" have
an evening of rare pleasure before
them. Those who have witnessed the
production this season are loud in
their praise of the attraction and
pronounce both vehicle and artist
better if possible than last season
when their cordial reception by an
appreciative theatre-going public
amounted practically to an ovation. ^
The play has been brightened by
many touches of improvement in
scenic effects and supporting com-
pany betterments while the Golden
Voiced Metz never in his seasons of
musical triumphs found better out-
let for his peculiarly pleasing vocal j
powers than in the rendition of his j
new songs "Fairest Flower of All" !
"Wilson's Lullaby" "Snltzlebank"
"Switzer Le Boy" and "Songs of
the Fatherland."

PATTON.
KENNEDY
Livery Co.
To-day we want to talk to
you about "Catarrh cures"
During the past few months we have
been publishing what some of our good
friends have called "heart-to-heart talks"
on patent medicines.
That name suits us all right—"heart-
to-heart talks" is just what we have
intended. There can't be anything more
serious to a sick man or sick woman
than his ailment and the remedies he or
she takes to cure it.
Our talks have been "heart-to-heart."
Every word we have printed has been
written in absolute earnestness and sin-
cerity and judging from what our cus-
tomers tell us we have not been talking
in vain. We are convinced that our
frankness has been appreciated and that
our suggestions have been welcomed—
which naturally encourages us to con-
tinue.
To-day and perhaps for some time to
come we want to talk about that big
class of remedies known generally as
"catarrh cures."
Broadly speaking these are the patent
medicines that have been the chief tar-
gets for the attacks of the "Ladies'
Home Journal" "'Collier's Weekly" and
other magazines which are waging such
a lively warfare against patent medicine
abuses.
As we have pointed out in previous
talks it is not our business to pass judg-
ment on the crusade of these well-
known highly-respected publications.
The public alone must be the judge and
jury. Our business as we see it is to
carry in stock a complete line of patent
medicines and to sell those medicines at
the lowest possible price.
We sell hundreds—yes thousands of
bottles of so-called "catarrh cures" and
know nothing of their ingredients. The
manufacturers advertise them the public
demands them ; we order them from the
manufacturers and sell them at the low-
est price. That is absolutely as far as
our knowledge goes. The manufacturer
keeps his formula a secret. It may be
good or it may not—we don't know and
we have no means of finding out.
Naturally we would rather sell a rem
cdy that we know is right—thnt wc ran
hack up with all our reputation for hon-
esty and square-dealing.
And wouldn't you rather buy that kind
of a remedy? Wouldn't you rather hold
us responsible than to hold no one
responsible? We are right here right
where you can get at us every dav in the
week right where one false move on our
part will bring upon us our condem-
nation the loss of vour frit lidship vonr
patronage your influence. Can we afford
to tell you anything that you will learn
later is not absolutely true?
Are you not safer in taking our word
for the merits of an article than you are
to relv on the printed statement of a pa-
tent medicine manufacturer whom vou
never even saw and probably never will?
Common sense most emphatically tells
you th.it we cannot afford to depart one
hair's breadth from the rigid truth
None of us can deny that there is *tich
a disease known as "catarrh." Those
who have it or who have had it. know
that it is one of the hardest diseases to
cure.
Perhaps the worst thing about catarrh
is its prevalence. Almost everyone—
especially in a climate like ours—has
catarrh in some form or another. That is
what has made the "catarrh cure" busi-
ness so profitable. There arc so many
thousands of cases of the disease and it is
so hard to cure that the patent medicine
manufacturers have reaped a harvest in
preparing remedies that appeal to this
large class of sufferers.
One of the most serious things about
catarrh is that it breaks down the sys-
tem so that the sufferer becomes a prey
to other diseases. This fact has led the
proprietors of so many "catarrh cures"
to advertise their remedies as a specific
for almost every disease under the sun.
We have OX Κ catarrh cure that we
are willing to say to you : "We know
this is all right. Take it home and use it
with the full assurance that if it does not
cure you you can bring it back to us
and we will promptly refund your
money." That catarrh cure is
MUCU-TONE
There is no guess work with us on Rexall
Mucu-Tone. We know what it is made of.
Not only do we know but we will give you a
copy of the formula.
There is no secret about any Rexall rAnedy
—we make them—one thousand of us leading
druggists all over America—in our great co-
operative laboratories at Boston Mass. We
own the laboratories and everything in them and
we operate them just as skillfully as our com-
bined brains and money will let us and just as
honestly as honest men know how.
Tin Ingrédients of Mucu-Tom
The chief ingredients of Mucu-Tone are Gen-
tian Cubebs Cascars Sagrada Glycerine and
Sarsaparilla.
Gentian is recognized in medicine as one of the
! greatest tonics ever discovered. It is the founda-
tion on which Mucu-Tone is built. Gentian com-
bines 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 spe-
I cific in the treatment of all catarrhal conditions.
Its action is prompt and its benefits almost inva-
riable. In whatever part of the body the inflamed
i or diseased condition of the mucous membrane
I 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.
I The combination of these with Glycerine and
Sarsaparilla makes Mucu-Tone a remedy that at-
tacks catarrh from every point gradually restores
and rebuilds the diseased tissues to their former
health and strength promotes digestion and cre-
ate· a normal appetite. Large trial bottle 50c.
