A FEW FACTS
About the New Catarrh Cure,

The new Catarrh Cure is new de-
parture in so-called catarrh cures, be-
cause 1t actually cures, and is not simply
a. temporary relief.
The new Catarrh Cure is not a salVe.
ointment, powder nor liquid, but a pleas
ant tasting tablet containing the best
specifics for catarrh in a concentrated
convenient form.
The old style of catarrh salves and ONT
ments are greasy, dirty and inconvenient
at the best; the new preparation being in
tablet form is always clean and con-
venient.
The new Catarrh Cure is superior to
Catarrh powders because it is a notorious
fact that many Catarrh powders contain
CocPs+le. l. - AZ
= The new Catarrh Cure is called Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets, a wholesome combina-
ton of blood root, beachwood tar. guaia-
col and other antiseptics and cures by it's
action upon the blood and mucus mem,
brane, the only rational treatment for
catarrhal trouble.
You do not have to draw upon vour
imagination to discover whether Won are
getting benefit from Stuart's Catarrb
Tablets; improvements and relief are an
parent from the first tablet taken.
All druggists sell and recommend Thorn
They cost but 90 cents for fuII cizad
packages, and any catarrh sufferer n.y.
mas wasted time and money on SPRAYS
saves and powders, Will appreciate to the
Iuil the merit of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets
