A Forerunner of the Most
Fatal Disease.

Though its offensive features
are sometimes almost unbearable,
few people are aware of the danger
of which Catarrh is the forerun-
ner. Catarrh invariably leads to
Consumption. Growing worse and
worse each winter, those who rely
upon the usual treatment of
SPRAYS, washes and inhaling mix
lures find that it is impossible to
check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the
surface. The offensive discharge
increases all the while, causing a
feeling of personal deflement, and
gets deeper and deeper until it is
only a question of short time
until the lungs are affected.
The Importance of the proper
treatment can therefore be readily
appreciated. But no good what
ever can be expected from local
applications, as such treatment
never did cure Catarrh, and never
will.

CATARRU OF STOMACH.
A Pleasant, simple, Hut Safe and Eff
fectuaI Cure for IL.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing TO incurable.
The usual symptoms are full or boating
sensation after eating. accompanied some
times with sour or watery rsings, a for
nation Of gases, causing pressure on the
heart and lungs and difficult breathing;
headaches tickle appetite, nervousness,
and a general played out, languid feeling
There Is often a foul taste in the mouth.

The cure OF this common and obstinate
trouble is found in a treatment which
causes the food 10 be readily, thoroughly
dgested before ii has time to ferment and
irritate the delicate mucous surfaces OF
the stomach To secure a prompt and
healthy digestion is the one necessary
thing to do and when normal digestion
is secured the catarrhal condition Will
have disappeared.
According TO Dr. Harlanson, the safest
and best treatment IS 10 use after each
meal tablet. composed Of Diatase, Asep-
tic, Pepsin. a little Nux, Golden Seal, and
fruit acids. These tablets can be found at
all drugstores under the name of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, and not being a patent
medicine can be used with perfect safety
and assurance that healthy appetite and
thorough digestion will follow their regu-
lar use after meals.

three persons horribly. One, possibly
two, will die
The injured are: Miss Rose o'Don-

ploys large number of girls making
cartridges.
The building, a one-story brick, is a
total wreck, the walls being scattered
in all directions
Rose O'Donnells clothes were burned
of and her body mutilated in a most
terrible manner. Both eyes are gone,
her hands blown off and holes are torn
in her body. She remained conscious
long enough TO state that it was
through her that the explosion came
about.
Mrs. Ollie Davis, a widow, with one
child, was frightfully burned and will
die.
Ennis Wykoff, aged 2S, married, had
one eye blown out, but he aided in res
cuing the girls from the building.
The scenes about the building were
heartrending. The FIRE department was
called out, but the wreck did not take
fire. The cause of the explosion is a
mystery.
