ITS TRUE CHARACTER.


Although physicians have known for
years that catarrh was not local disease
but constitutional or blood disorder. yet
the mass of the people stin continue 70
believe it is simply local trouble and try
to cure it with purely local remedies
like powders, snuffs, ointments and in
halers.
These local remedies II they accom-
plish anything at all. simply give very
temporary relief and 1t is doubtful If a
permanent cure of catarrh has ever been
accomplished tby local sprays. washes and
inhalers. They may clear the mucous
membrane from the excessive secretion
but IL returns in a few hours as bad as
ever, and the result can hardly be other
wise. because the blood is loaded with
catarrhal poison and it requires no argu-
ment TO convince anyone that local
washes and sprays have absolutely no ef-
feet on the blood.
DR.. Ainsworth says: ST have long since
discontinued the use of sprays and washes
for catarrh of head and throat. because
they simply relieve and do not cure.
For some time past 1 have used only
one treatment for all forms OF catarrh,
and the results have been uniformly good.
The remey use and recommend isStuart's
Catarrh Tablets, pleasant and harmless
preparation, sold by druggists at 80 cents.
but my experience has proven one pack
age of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets to be
worth a dozen local treatments.
1.-THE tablets are composed of Hydrastin.
Sanguinaria, Red Gum, Guaiacol and
other safe antiseptics and any catarrh
sufferer can use them with full assurance
that they contain no poisonous opiates
and that they are the most reasonable
and successful treatment for radical cure
of catarrh at present known to the pro-
fession."
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large
pleasant tasting 20 grain lozenges, to be
dissolved in the mouth and reach the
delicate membranes of throat and trachea.
and Immediately relieve any irritation.
while their final action on the blood re-
moves the catarrhal poison from the
whole system. All druggists sell them at
so cents for complete treatment.

EATEN BY CANNIBALs,
Terrible Fate of tho Schooner Nioka-
mara's Crew.

Victoria, B. "Details have been
received of the killing of the captain
and crew of the schooner Nikamara op
one OF the islands Of the Admiralty
group by the natives who are canni-
balls. 1t is said that the victims we're
eaten.
The Nikanara was owned BY E E
Forsythe, and had left New Britain
early in October on her trading
CT ulse to the Admiralties. On arriv-
ing there she was boarded by a num-
Der of the natives, with whom Capt.
Dalthe was unsuspectingly doing bus
iness, when he was set upon by his
treacherous customers and killed, his
fate being shared by the mate and SIX
New Ireland natives, all Of whom were
cut and hacked with knives and toma-
hawks. The natives then plundered
the vessel.
Nothing was known Of the killing
until some time afterwards when Mr..
Forsythe arrived on the scene with
his other schooner. the Niagara He
was accompanied by Messrs. Bullock
and Doudney, and they, too, were SET
upon by the natives from ambush as
the white men rowed shoreward,
using the rifles taken from the Nick
amara. Bullock was badly wounded
with a shot through the thigh, but
the boat gained the Niagara, which
soon reached open water.

gratulate himself that from obscure
birth and iu spite of having espoused

his way upward until he reached a

the house under spasm of prejudice
arising from Misrepresentation and
falsehood as to conditions existing In

his own intentions, he will face the fu-
ture undiscouraged by this incident in

humble scale. and afforded few oppor-
tunities for the accumulation Of wealth.
The limited purchasing power OF the
people made demand light. and the lin
tied use OF machinery rendered 1t diff
cult for the factories to compete with
the product of the hand looms and spin
ming wheels Of the homes. and the hand
work OF the blacksmith and wood
worker. The absence Of transportation
facilities left the farmers dependent
upon the immediate home market, the
needs of which were small. Money was
rarely received at all by the farmer,
who conducted his industry with view
of supplying all of the wants of his
family directly from the land itself
rather than by the interchange of its
products for those of the factories or
for imports from abroad.
