A FEW FACTS
About the New Catarrh Cure.

The new Catarrh Cure is new
departure in so-called catarrh cures,
because 1t actually cures, and is not
simply temporary relief.
The new Catarrh Cure is not a
salve, ointment, powder nor liquid,
but a pleasant tasting tablet con-
tanning the best specifics for catarrh
in a concentrated, convenient form.
The old style of catarrh salves and
ointments are greasy, dirty and in
convenient at the best; the new pre-
paration being in tablet form is
always clean and convenient.
The new Catarrh Cure is superior
to Catarrh powders because it is a
notorious fact that many Catarrh
powders contain cocaine.
The new Catarrh Cure is called
.Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a whole
some combination of blood root,
beachwood tar, guaiacol and other
antiseptics, and cures by its action
upon the blood and mucous men,
brane, the only rational treatment
for catarrhal trouble.
You do not have to draw upon
imagination to discover whether you
are getting benefit from Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets; Improvements and
relief are apparent from the first
tablet taken.
All druggists sell and recommend
them. They cost but 50c for full
sized packages, and any catarrh
sufferer who has wasted time and
money on sprays, salves and pow
ders, will appreciate to the full the
merit of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.

GOALS at the bottom Of the oven.

GOALS at the bottom OF the oven.
The national dish and the common
food of the masses is "chupe," sort
Of first cousin to the Irish stew. 1t is
a conglomerate, composed of irregular
constituents from the animal and yege-
table kingdoms, mess of mutton and
such other meats as are available;
chicken, fish, fruits, potatoes, carrots,
barley, corn, rice, onions, yams, ETC.,
chopped up, highly seasoned with pep
pers and herbs and stewed to con-
slstency of porridge. What happens
to be left from one meal SINNERS in
the pot until the next. If the fire goes
out, the "chupe" is allowed to cool,
but it is warmed up again and new
supply of the ingredients added to the
water logged and greasy stuff for the
next meal.
In the cities, at the hotels and res
taurants where there are French or
Swiss cooks, the "chupe" is savory and
palatable, but the farther you go from
the centers Of civilization the worse it
gets. One eats it at first under pro-
test, then from necessity and only to
escape starvation, but finally the stom-
ach rebels, and you limit your diet to
boiled eggs and fruit, which are usual
ly to be obtained, but the experienced
traveller always takes canned meat and
bread with him.-Sucre Bolivia) Let

When chi1aren Went to war.

Among other improvements in the art
Of war, as attained by the world in these
later days, is the abolition of the practice
OF sending children to sea. as was the
case when the midshpmen of the old
"oak walls" of England often were boys
Of less than Il years.
The Marquis of Dufferin and Ava, in
telling about the siege of Bomarsund, in
the Crimean war, which he witnessed
from the frigate Penelope. tells this story
of one of these little fellows, what
pleased me most during the whole busi-
ness" he says, was the gallant behavior
of a little midshipman, a mere child, IS
or IA years of age. About the time when
the fire became pretty hot happened to
come across him, and. as he seemed to be
as much out of job as myself, touched
my cap and took the liberty of observing
that it was fine day, to which he polite
ly replied that it was.
Encouraged by his urbanity, ven
tured to ask him how long he had been at
sea, to which he answered, I have only
left my mamma six weeks, but I amt
going to cry on her majesty's quarter
deck remark which l think as worth
recording as many one made by more
illustrious heroes. Soon after this, how
ever, man was killed close to him, and
the little fellow faioted and was taken
below"

A DAILY NUISANCE.
A Simple Remedy Which VIII Interest
Catarrh Sufferers.

In its early stages catarrh Is more
of q nuisance than a menace to the
general health, but sooner or later
the disease extends to the throat,
bronchial tubes and even to the
stomach and intestines.
Catarrh is essentially a disease of
the mucous membrane, the local
symptoms being profuse discharge
OF mucus, stoppage of the nostrils,
irritation in throat, causing cough
ing, sneezing, gagging and frequent
clearings of the throat and head.
The usual treatment by local
douches, snuffs, salves, etc., often
gives temporary relief, but anything
like q cure can only be obtained by a
treatment which removes the
catarrhal taint from the blood and
disappearance of the inflammation
from the mucous surfaces.
A new remedy which meets these
requirements and which SO far has
been remarkably successful in cur
ing catarrh is Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets.
These tablets act upon the blood
and mucous membranes only. They
can hardly be called a SO :ret patent
medicine they are composed of such
valuable remedies as Sangrinaria
Hydrastin, Eucalyptol and similar
cleansing antiseptics, which cure
by eliminating from the blood and
mucous surfaces the catarrhal
poison.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large,
pleasant lozenges taken internally,
allowing them to dissolve slowly In
the mouth; In this way they reach
the throat, fauces and the entire
alimentary canal.
II desired, they may also be dis
solved in water and used as
douche, in addition to the internal
use, but 1t Is not at all necessary to
use q douche; u few cf them dissolv-
cd In the mouth daily will be suffi-
cient.
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1899-12-26

tarrh Of other internal organs is the
result Of neglected nasal catarrh.
A new remedy has recently ap-
peared which so far as tested seems
to be remarkably effective In
promptly curing catarrh, wherever
located. The preparation is sold by
druggists generally under name Of
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. and In ad-
dltion to being very pa!atable and
convenient, possesses extraordinary
merit, In many cases giving immed-
late relief from the coughing, hawk
Ing and constant clearing Of the
throat and head, those symptoms
with which everyone is familiar who
has ever suffered from colds In the
head and throat.
Catarrh is simply continuation Of
these symptoms until the trouble
becomes chronic and grows gradual
ly worse from year to year.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are COM
posed Of Hydrastin, Eucalyptol,
Guaiacol and similar antiseptics and
catarrh specifics, from which it will
be seen that no secret is made of the
ingredients and also that no mineral
poisOns are used, as in the case with
many we'll known catarrh medicines.
For .catarrh of tho nose, throat,
bronchial tubes, for catarrh of stom-
ach, intestines or bladder no prepa-
ration is SO safe and gives such rapid
and permanent results as Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets.
All druggists sell them at 50c for
full sized package. You can use
them with assurance that you will
not contract the cocaine or morphine
habit as the results from this catarrh
cure are APPARENT from the first days
llga.

A LIFE COMPANION
And a Very Undesirable One.

With thousands of people in. this
climate, catarrh is a constant and
life long companion; it gets better at
times, but each year becomes grad
ually, deeper seated and after a time
the Individual resigns himself to'it
as a necessary evil.
Catarrh cures are almost as num-
erous as catarrh sufferers, but are
nearly all so incOnvenient and inef-
fective as to render their use a nui-
sance nearly as annoying as catarrh
itself.
1t would seem at first glance that
catarrh being disease of the
mucous membrane that salves,
sprays, etc., being applied directly
to the membranes would be the
most rational method but this has
proven not to be true.
The mucous membrane is made
and repaired from the blood and ca
tarrh is blood disorder, ana q
remedy to be permanent must act on
the blood and when purified from
catarrhal poison the secretions from
the mucous membrane will become
natural and healthy.
There are a number of excellent
internal remedies for catarrh but
probably the best and certainly the
safest is new remedy composed of
Eucalyptol, Hydrastfs, Sangrimaria
and other catarrh specifics. This
remedy is in tablet form and sold by
druggists under the name Of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets and anyone suffer-
ing from catarrh may use these tab
let's with absolute assurance that
they contain no cocaine nor poison
ous minerals whatever.
A leading druggist in Cleve-
land, speaking of catarrh cures,
says: II have sold various catarrh

1T is IMPORTANT
10 Know What You Are Taking When Using
catarrh Medicines.

Catarrh is the short route to con-
sumption, and the Importance of
early and judicious treatment of ca
tarrh, whether located In the head,
throat or bronchial tubes, cannot be
too strongly emphasized.
The list Of catarrh cures lis as long
as the moral law and the forms in
which they are administered, numer-
GUS and confusing, from sprays, in
halers, washes, Ointments, and
salves, to powders, liquids and tab
lets.
The tablet form is undoubtedly
the most convenient and most effec-
tive, but with nearly all advertised
catarrh remedies 1t Ia almost entire
ly a matter Of guess work as to what
you are taking into your system, as
the proprietors, while making all
sorts of claims as to what their med
icines will do, always keep 1t close
secret as to what they are.
The success and popularity of the
new catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, Is largely because it is not
only cures catarrh but because ca
tarrh sufferers who use these tablets
know what they are taking into their
systems. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
being composed of Eucolyptol, Hy-
drastin, Guaiacol and similar valua-
BILE and antiseptlc Ingredients, aud
are pleasant to the taste and being
dissolved In the mouth they take
immediate effect upon the mucous
lining of the throat, nasal passages
and whole respiratory tract
The cures that Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets have accomplished in old
chronic cases of catarrh are little
short of remarkable, and the advant-
age of knowing what you are putting
into your stomach is of paramount
Importance when 1t is remembered
that the cocaine or morphine habit
has been frequently contracted as
the result Of using secret catarrh
remedies.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets meet
with cordial approval from physi-
clans, because their antiseptic char
acter render them perfectly safe for
the general public to use and their
composition makes them a common
sense cure for all forms of catarrhal
troubles.

you CAN CURE IT.
A New Cure For Catarrh In Tablet Form.

The old time treatment for catarrh
) was in the form of douches or sprays; !;
later on, internal remedies were
given with greater success, but being
III liquid or powdered form were in
convenient and were open to the
same objection to all liquid remedies.
that is, that they lose whatever med
icinal power that they may have had
on exposure to the air. cyr..-
The tablet is the ideal form in
which to administer medication, but
until recently no successful catarrh
tablet had ever been attempted.
At this writing, however, q most
excellent and palatable remedy for
catarrh has been placed before the
public and sold by druggists, called
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, composed
of the most recent discoveries in
medicine for the cure of catarrh, and
results from their use have been
highly gratifying.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain
principally highly concentrated anti
septics, which kill the catarrh germs
branes, and in this respect are strictly
known for some years past by the
cesssul catarrh treatment was by in
haling or spraying, antiseptics.
The use of inhalers, douches and
sprays, however, is a nuisance and an
Inconvenience, and moreover can in
no wise compare with the same rem
edies given In tablet form, either in
efficacy or convenience.
A clerk in a prominent insurance
Office In Pittsburg relates his exper-
ience with Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
in few words but to the point. He
says: "Catarrh has been almost con-
stantly with me for eight years; in
this climate it seems Impossible to
get rid Of 1t. / awoke every morning
stuffed up and for the first half hour
1t was cough, gag, expectorate and
sneeze before L could square myself
for my days work; no appetite and
foul breath which annoyed me ex-
ceedingly.
"I used Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
for two months and found them
not only pleasant to take but they
did the business, and can sincerely
. recommend them to all catarrh suf-
ferers." a
