THEORIES ABoUT cATARRH.
Peculiar Ideas Regarding "a Common
Disease.


Mark Twain's cure for a cold in the head
was simple, but he claims very effective in
his own case; his plan was TO eat nothing
whatever for twenty-four hours, or pre-
sumably until the trouble had disappeared
Although not able 10 speak from personal
experience as to the effectiveness of this
treatment, it certainly has the merit of ex-
treme economy, but il occurs TO US that the
application of it to a case of nasal catarrh
might be attended with difficulties
Catarrh, as everyone knows. is a chronic
cold in the head, and Mr.. Twain's treat
ment if it should become a fad, would
make of US nation of fasters; an army,
emulating the example of the immortal
Tanner, who achieved worldwide fame by
fasting forty days.
Catarrh is certainly becoming a national
disease, and there is little doubt but that
errors in diet, particularly overeating is
very common cause.
Most people, however, are more inter-
ested in the cure of the trouble than In
the cause. and modern medical science has
produced more effective and less heroic
remedies than Mr.. Twains
Guaiacol is a new remedy very effective
in some forms of Catarrh. Eucalyptol is
another which, on account of its antiseptic
properties. is very valuable while many
severe cases of Chronic Catarrh have been
entirely cured by the sanguinaria, or ex-
tract of blood root alone
Within year an enterprising chemist
has combined all of these remedies in tab
let form, palatable and convenient, and the
superiority of this tablet over other catarrh
remedies is so apparent that all druggists
now carry them in stock to supply the pop
ular demand
They are called Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
ana it is doubtful if any medicine has
achieved a national popularity in so short
a time as this.
Stuart's Gatarrh Tablets are used by
thousands of travelling men because they
can be carried in the pocket and used any
time and in any quantity being free from
Cocaine Opiate, or any poisonous drug.
They clear the head and throat from the
disgusting seeretions of eatarrh, very often
in a few hours time
For nasal Catarrh they are far superior
to any wash lotion, or ointment, the use
Of which is often as inconvanient and an
moving as the disease itself.
For coughs, colds, bronchial catarrh, and
catarrh of the stomach these tablets give
Immediate relief and permanent cure
where lotions, douches, and inhalers make
no impression whatever
This preparation is j boon 10 catarrh suf-
ferers, and any druggist will tell you that
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is a remedy that
has come TO stay.
