HAVE HAD THEIR DAY.
Locni Treatment for Catarrh Relc
gated to the Rear.

The surest and safest treatment for any
form of catarrh is an internal remedy
which acts specifically upon the blood and
mucous membranes Such remedy is the
new preparation sold everywhere by drug
gists as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets medi-
cine in pleasant tablet form.
These tablets contain in highly concen-
trated form well known germ antiseptics
like sanguinaria. guaiacol Red Gum, and
similar curative elements. and no one who
suffers from any form of catarrh. and
has experienced the inefliciency and in
convenience of powders, sprays, and in
halers will ever go back to such anti
quated remedies after once trying so
pleasant a treatment as Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, and one which gives so much re-
lief in so short a time.
Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
at fifty cents for full-sized package and
their daily use will effectually cure this
troublesome and dangerous disease.
The danger from catarrh is that it is a
short road TO consumption, to chronic
stomach catarrh, and to catarrh of liver
and kidneys
Nest cases of deafness are caused from
stoppage of the Eustachlan tube as re-
suit of catarrh
