THEORIES ABOUT CATARRH.
Peculiar Ideas Regarding a Common
Disease.

Mark Twain's cure for cold in the
head was simple. but he claims very
effective in his own case; his plan was
to eat nothing whatever for twenty
four hours or presumably until the trou
Bile had disappeared.
Although not ableSto speak from per-
sona1 experience as to the effectiveness
of this treatment, it certainly has the
merit of extreme economy. but it occurs
to US that the application Of it to a case
of nasal catarrh might be attended with
difficulties.
Catarrh. as everyone knows. is
chronic cold in the head and Mr.. Twain's
treatment. if it should become a fad,
would make of us a nation of fasters;
an army, emulating the example of the
immortal Tanner who achieved world
wide fame by fasting forty days.
Catarrh is certainly becoming ma
tional disease and there is little doubt
but that errors in diet. particularly
overeatinE is a very common cause.
Most people however are more in
terested in the cure of the trouble than
in the cause. and modern medical science
has produced more effective and less
heroic remedies than Mr.. Twains
Guaiacol is a new remedy, very effec-
tive in some forms of Catarrh. EucalyptOl
is another which on account Of its anti
septic properties is very valuable, while
many severe cases of Chronic Catarrh
have been entirely cured by the sangui-
maria or extract of Blood root alone.
Within a year an enterprising chemist
has combined all of these remedies in
tablet form. palatable and convenient
and the superiority of this tablet over
other catarrh remedies is so apparent
that all druggists now carry them in
stock to supply the popular demand
They are called Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's and it is doubtful If any medicine
has achieved a national popularity in 50
short time as this
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are used by
thousands Of travelling men because they
can be carried in the pocket and used
any time and in any quantity being free
from Cocaine. opiate or any poisonous
drug
They clear the head and throat from
the disgusting secretions of catarrh, very
often in a few hours time.
For nasal Catarrh they are far su-
perior to any wash lotion or ointment
the use of which is often as inconvenient
and annoying as the disease itself
For coughs, colds bronchial catarrh
and catarrh of the stomach these tablets
give immediate relief and permanent
cure where lotions douches and inhalers
make no impression whatever
This preparation is a boon to cataTrh
sufferers and any druggist win tell you
that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets Is rem
edy that has come to stay.

Iron the New York W

from the New Y Ork World.
The cost Of creating the tin plate in
dustry in the United States has been
since 1891 about $4,000. 600 to the whole
sale dealers and about s1O0, OO0, 600 to the
consumers This is the sum paid in the
increased cost of plates which has been
made possible by the tariff
The American Tin Plate company of
New Jersey was formed in November,
1898 This trust owns about every tin
plate mill in the country It makes
about 90 per cent of all the plates used
an this country. In order to strengthen
its monopoly it has an agreement to
take all the tin plate machinery made
IN the country for five years to come.
1t has also a practical monopoly Of all
ths bars used for making tin plates. It
has also restricted production by closing
about eighty mills. thus throwing more
than 5000 men out Of employment.
The mill property bought by the trust
can be duplicated for $6,OOO 600. The total
assets Of the trust aggregate about S12,-
100000 But its capital is $50, 0OO, 600
$50 600 in common stock and $4,000
900 in preferred stock For the property
the trust paid $4,000, 600 in common and
$4,000, 300 in preferred stock, something
like six times the value of the plants
The promoter received $1e.O00.0 00 in com
mon stock, and 81. 00O. 900 OF each kind OF
stock was retained BY the company.

NOT A SUICIDE.
Aaron Booth "Laid Out" But Receivers
to Give Account of Himself.

1t was reported at noon today that q
man had committed suicide at the
Fourth avenue hotel, but the report
proved false. Although the man was
laid OUT for dead he is very much
alive. The man is Aaron Booth, who
lives at Csirard. He came here yester-
day and stopped at the Fourth avenue
hotel, telling the proprietor that he had
a place in the insane asylum He was
sick and had a lot Of medicine in his
grip. This morning he was sitting in
the Office when he became sick In a
short time the men who were in the
Office playing checkers. noticed that
Booth was gasping for breath and they
at once did what they could for him,
but in a few minutes he was apparently
dead. They took it for granted that he
had committed suicide and carried him
upstairs. where they laid him on a bed.
DR. S. A johnson was called and after
working with him Tor an hour succeed
ed IN bringing him back to conscious
ness
The man had taken an overdose of
medicine which contained morphine 1t
is thought that it was done uninten-
tionally, although the man was not re-
covered sufficiently to state whether he
intended committing suicide. He told
the proprietor that he was SO years old
and that he had served in the Spanish
war and had not been well since.
