A DAILY NUISANCE.
4 Simple Remedy Which Will In

In its earlier stages catarrh Is more of a
nuisance than a menace TO the general
health, but sooner or later. the disease ex-
tends 10 the throat. bronchial tubes and
even to the stomach and intestines.
Catarrh is essentially a disease Of the
mucous membrane the local symptoms be-
Ing profuse discharge of mucus, stop

frequent clearings OF the throat and
The usual treatment by local douches.
snuffs, salves. etc. often gives temporary
relief, but anything like cure can only
be obtained by a treatment which. re-
moves the catarrhal faint from the blood
ana the disappearance Of the infamma-
ton from the mucous surfaces:
new remedy which meets these re-
quirements and which so far has been re-
markedly successful in curing catarrh is
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets act upon the blood and
mucous membranes only. They can hardly
be called a secret patent medicine as
they are composed of such valuable rem
edies as sangunarta, hydrastin. eucalyp-
tol and similar cleansing antiseptics,
which cure by eliminating from the blood
and mucous surfaces the catarrhal poison
ant tasting lozenges taken internally. al
lowing them to dissolve slowly In the
mouth. In this way they reach the throat,
fances and the entire alimentary canal.
III desired. they may also be dissolved
IN water and used as douche. in addi-
ton TO the Internal use, but II Is not at
all necessary TO use a douche: a few of
them dissolved In the mouth daily will be
sufficient. However. when there IL much
stoppaee of the nose, a douche made
from these. tablets win give immediate
relief, but the regular daily use internally
OF these tablets will cure the whole ca
tarrhai trouble without resorting to the
inconvenience Of douche.
Dr. Bement states that the internal
treatment for catarrh Is rapidly taking the
place of the old plan OF douching and local
application and further says that probably
the best and certainly the safest remedy
al present on the market Is Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets. as no secret is made of
their composition and all the really EN-
Gent remedies for catarrh are contained
in this tablet"
Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
at fifty cents for full-slzed packages. Ask
your druggist and IL he Is honest he will
tell you there Is no safer, more pala-
table, more efficient and convenient rem
