WHY HESITATE?
An Offer That Involves no Money
Risk if You Accept it.
We aie so positive our remedy will
completely relieve constipation, no
matter how chronic it may be, that
we offer to furnish it free of all cost
if it fails.
Constipation is commonly caused
by weakness of the nerves and mus
cles of the large intestine. To expect
a cure you must therefore tone up
and strengthen those organs and re
store them to healthier activity.
We want you to try Rexall Order
lies on our guarantee. They are eat
en like candy, and are particularly
good for children. They seem to act
directly on the nerves and muscles of
the bowels. They apparently have a
neutral action on the other organs.
They do not purge or cause other
inconvenience. We will refund your
money if they do not overcome chron
ic or habitual constipation and thus
aid to relieve the myriads of associ
ate or dependent chronic ailments.
Try Rexall Orderlies at our risk.
Three sizes, 10c, 25c, and 50c. Sold
only at our store—The Rexall Store.

A SATXSrZBX) OUSTOI
Cumberland, Wis., Jan. 23,1912
Mr. E. J. Wahl,
St. Paul, Minn.
Dear Mr. Wahl:—
Your favor asking for a
statement in regard to my silo
purchased and erected in Au
gust, 1911, by your company,
at hand. Before I purchased I
first saw and talked with men
who had had experience, also
looked into this question as to
wood, brick, hollow brick, sol
id cement and those with air
space, those which stood out
side, unprotected, some with no
roof, (my own has a half roof
on) and two wooden ones which
had building erected around
them, not in a barn but just
around the silo, about two feet
between silo and building. I
found they all froze. I find
mine freezes too, but not any
more than any of the above
mentioned ones. I find there is
no building of any material that
will not freeze unless heated
artificially.
Now, as to silage. Ours is
as nice as can be found, except
the top, which had no covering,
no coarse hay, straw or oats,
in fact nothing at all on it.
Feeding at the rate we have
been, we will have enough till
April 15th, and have hay to sell
if I want to, instead of buy
ing as I did lagt year. To put
the whole thing as- short as
possible—my silo has been a
comfort (knowing there is en
ough for the stock) and will
pay for itself in less than two
years if silage is properly put
in. My silo is the first one of
its kind in Wisconsin. We have
had 19 days when our Govern
ment thermometer registered
from 6 to 32 degrees below zero
so I think I have had a good
chance to test it.
Yours truly,
(Signed)
CHARLES F. MILLER.

The Playford Cement Stave Silo
Amon Silos
18x40 foot Silo of Bosw orth Bros, Elgrin, 111
We positively guarantee our siio to freeze no more (if as much) than any other silo now on the
market. The acid in the ensilage will not affect our silo wall, nor will they absorb any moisture and
thus spoil a lot of silage all around the silo. There is no air space on our silo to fill with the juices
from the ensilage and thus cause a stink.
Our silo walls, on account of the vertical construction, can check a good deal without cracking.
Our silo does not rot, blow down or burn. When you have one of our silos erected you don't have-to
keep a crew of men from two weeks to a month on your farm. Three men from two to four days
does the work. We furnish the man that erects the silo, and are responsible for good work.
Our new booklet will be out the middle of this month. It contains a lot of information you
should know before buying your silo. Sent prepaid on request.
Address or call at either our Home Office, or 521 Palace Building, Minneapolis, Minn.
