NO ARGUMENT NEEDED.
Every Sufferer From Catarrh Knows
That SaIVes, Lotions, Washes,
Sprays and Douches Do
Not Cure.

Powders, lotions, salves- sprays and in
halers cannot really cure Catarrh, be-
cause this disease is a blood disease, and
local applications, IL they accomplish
anything at all, simply give transient re-
lief
The catarrhal poison is in the blood and
the mucous membrane of the nose,
throat and trachea tries to relieve the
system by secreting large quantities of
mucous, the discharge sometimes closing
up the nostrils dropping into the throat
causing deafness by closing the Eu-
stachian tubes, and after a time caus-
ing catarrh of stomach or serious throat
and lung troubles.
A remedy to really cure catarrh must
be an internal remedy which will cleanse
the blood from catarrhal poison and re-
move the fever and cong eStion from the
mucous membrane.
The best and most modern remedies
for this purpose are antiSeptics scien-
tifcally known as EucalytOl, Guaiacol,
Sanguinarfa and Hydrastin, and while
each of these have been successfully
used separately yet It has been difficult
to get them all combined in one pal
atable. convenient and efficient form.
The manufacturers of the new catarrh
cure, Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, have
succeeded admirably in accomplishing
this result. They are large, pleasant
tasting lozenges, to be dissolved in the
mouth, thus reaching every part of the
mucous membrane Of the throat and
finally the stomach.
Unlike many catarrh remedies,
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain no CO.
caine, opiate or any injurious drug
whatever and are equally beneficial for
little children and adults.
Mr.. c. r. Rembrandt, Of Rochester,
N. Y, says: Il know of few people who
have suffered as much as 1 from
Catarrh of the head. throat and stom-
ach- I used sprays, inhalers and powd-
ers for months at a time with only
slight relief and had no hope of cure.
had not the means to make a change
of climate, which seemed my only
chance of cure.
Last spring read an account of some
remarkable cures made by Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets and promptly bought a
fifty cent box from my druggist and OBJ
tanned such positive benefit from that
one package that I continued to use
them daily until now consider myself
entirely free from the disgusting annoy
ance of catarrh; my head is clear, my di-
geston all 7 could ask and my hearing
which had begun to fail as result of
the catarrh, has greatly improved until
feel can hear as well as ever. They
are a household necessity in my family.
Stuart'S Catarrh Tablets are sold by
druggists at so cents for complete treat
ment and for convenience. safety and
prompt results they are undoubtedly the
long looked for catarrh cure.

Peter Maher at New Orleans about eight
years ago, says that he saved Fitz from

"A local man named Franks was Off

themselves to a point where they can
