REWARD OF MERIT.
A New Catarrh Cure Secures National
Popularity In Less Than One Year.

A New Catarrh Cure Secures Nations
Popularity In Less Than One Year
Throughout a great nation OF
eighty nliiiion it is desperate
struggle 10 secure even a recogni-
ton 1or new article, to say moth
ing OF achieving popular favor,
and yet within one year Stuarts
Catarrh Tablets, the new catarrh
cure, has met with such success
that to-day it can be found in
every drug store throughout the
United States and Canada.
To De sure, large amount OF
advertising was necessary in the
first instance to bring the remedy
to the attention or the public, but
every one familiar with the subject
knows that advertising alone
never made any article permanent
ly successful. 1t must have in ad-
dition absolute, undeniable merit,
and this the new catarrh cure GER
tainly possesses in marked de-
gree.
Physicians, who formerly de-
pended upon inhalers, sprays and
local washes or ointments, now
use Stuarts Catarrh Tablets be-
cause, as one of the most promi-
nent stated, these tablets contain
in pleasant, convenient form all
the really efficient catarrh rene
dies, such as red gum, Guiacol,
Eucalyptol, and Sanguinaria.
They contain no cocaine or OPT
ate, and are given to little children
with entire safety and benefit.
DR.. J. ]. Reitiger, OF Covington,
Ky, says: l suffered from catarrh
in my head and throat every fall,
with stoppage of the nose and irri-
tation in the throat, affecting my
voice and often extending to the
stomach, causing catarrh OF the
stomach. bought a fifty cent
package Of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
at my druggists, carried them in
my pocket and used them faithful
ly, and the way in which they
cleared my head and throat was
certainly remarkable. l had no
catarrh last winter and spring and
consider myself entirely free from
any catarrhal trouble.
Mrs. Jerome Ellison, of Wheel
ing, w. Va, writes: l suffered
from catarrh nearly my whole life
and last winter my two children
also suffered from catarrhal colds
and sore throat so much they were
out of school large portion of the
winter. My brother, who was
cured Of catarrhal deafness by using
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, urged me
to try them SO much that | did SO
and am truly thankful for what
they have done for myself and my
children. l always keep a box
of the tablets in the house and at
the first appearance of cold or
sore throat we nip it in the bud
and catarrh is no longer house
hold affliction with us.
Full sized packages of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets are sold for fifty
cents at all druggists.
