1T Is IMPORTANT.
To Know what You Are Taking
When Using Catarrh Medicines.

Catarrh is the short route to consump-
ton, and the Importance OF early and
malicious treatment OF cstarrb, whether To-
Gated in the head, throat or bronchial
tubes, can not be too strongly empha-
sized
The list OF catarrh cures is as long ~
the moral law and the forms In whicn
they are administered numerous and con
fusing, from sprays, inhalsrs, washes, ONT.
ments and salyes to powders. liquids ana
tablets.
The tablet form is undoubtedly the most
convenient and most effective, but Win
nearly all advertised catarrh remedies !.
ia almost entirely a matter OF guess So:k
as TO what you are taking into your sys.
ten, as the proprietors, while making ail
sorts OF claims as TO what their medicines
will do, always keep II close secret as
to what they are.
The success and popularity OF the new
catarrh cure, Stuart's CatarTh Tablets, IS
largely because IL not only cures catarrD
| but because catarrh sufferers who use
these tablets know what they are taking
| into their systems. Stuart's Catarrl Tab
lets being composed OF Eucalyptol, Hy-
drastin. Guaiacol and similar valuable AID
antiseptic ingredients and are pleasant 70
| the taste and being dissolved In the mouth
\ they take immediate effect upon the mucopa
| lining of the throat nasal passages anu
whole respiratory tract.
The cures that stuarts catarrn IapieIs
have accomplished in old chronic cases OF
catarrh are little short OF remarkable, ana
the advantage OF knowing what you are
putting into your stomach is Of paramount
importance when II Is remembered LA,
the cocaine or morphine habit has 9s"n
frequently contracted es the result u
using secret catarrh remedies.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets meet with GER
dial approval from physicians, because
their aniisepiic character renders them
perfectly safe for the general public to use
| ana their composition makes them con-,
ron sense cure for all forms of catarrhal
troubles
All druggists sell them at 80 cents toI
