For several days past glass, broken in
to particles of size admirably adapted
for the puncturing of bicycle tires, has
been encountered on the pavements used
and manner in which the glass is
strewn along the streets has led to the
belief that it is the work of some per-

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
Be Careful in the Use of Cough Medi-
cines for Children's Coughs
and Colds.

Many analyses of cheap cough mix
lures. and cough and throat lozenges
have clearly proven that a large pro-
portion Of them contain opiates.
The temporary relief which these
cheap medicines often give in coughs
and colds. especially with little chill
dren, is because the opiate. by destroy
ing nerve sensation, the irritation in
throat, which causes the cough, is tenn
porarily removed, but the real cause of
the cold is not In any way removed by
the opiate and will promptly return.
The best thing to use to remove the
catarrhal secretion which causes the
cold, the hoarseness and irritating
cough is a new preparation composed
of antiseptics like Eucalyptol, Guaiacol,
Sanguinaria and sold by druggists IN
der name Of Stusrt's Catarrh Tablets,
which contain no opiate, cocaine or
poisonous drug Of any sort.
mother living in Charleston, Mass,
the happy pOsSeSsOr of four children,
writes: Every fall and winter I have
laid In stock of cough medicines, Group
mixtures, and throat remedies for my
little children. for somehow or other,
they never seemed to be free from colds,
Group or sore throat.
This fall 1 made a change in the usual
programme. 1 had myself been cured
Of an obstinate catarrh, from which I
had suffered for years by Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets, and as they were pleas
ant to take I determined to try them
with my children. Our family physician
told me he knew them to be perfectly
safe and nothing better could be taken.
So gave them to the children and have
continued to do so ever since, whenever
there is the least sign of Group or sore
throat and I no longer dread the ap-
proach of cold weather as once did.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets not only
cured me of chronic nasal and throat
catarTh, but they have saved me many
an anxious night with my little ones
People who have used sprays, in
halers, salves and washes for catarrh
and have found how useless they are,
viii be agreeably surprised at the re-
suits following the use Of a pleasant
internal remedy in tablet form. Drug
Eists everywhere admit that Stuart S
Catarrh Tablets, which they sell at SOC
per package, is the safest, most effec-
tive and popular of all catarrh remedies.
