SURPRISING RESULTS.
A Simple Internal Remedy Makes Re-
markable Cures OF Catarrh.

People who have used sprays, in
halers, salves and washes for catarrh
and have found how useless and incon-
venlent they are, will be agreeably
surprised at results following the use
Of u pleasant, internal remedy in tab
let formi druggists everywhere admit
that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, which
they sell at 80 cents for full sized
treatment is the safest, most effective
and popular OF all catarrh remedies.
Nearly all cheap cough mixtures and
throat lozenges contain opiates; these
cheap medicines give temporary re
lief, especially with little children by
destroying nerve sensation; the irri-
tatlon In throat, which causes cough
ing Is temporarily removed, not by re-
moving the cause but by 'deadening the
nerves of feeling the irritation is not
felt, although 1t Is still there and will
promptly return.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets Is the best
remedy to remove catarrhal secretion,
whether in the nose, throat or stomach
because they are composed of whole
some antiseptlcs like Eucaylptol, Gau-
iacol, Sanguinaria and Hydrastin;
when you use these tablets you know
what you are putting into your sys-
TEN and not taking chances with CO.
caine, opiates or similar poisons found
in so many catarrh cures and cough
medicines.
Dr. Ramsdell in commenting on ca
tarrh cures, says: II can heartily
recommend Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
because they contain no cocaine nor
other dangerous drug found in so many
advertised catarrh cures. have
known of many cases of long standing
catarrh of the head and throat CON-
pletely cured by the daily use of these
tablets for several weeks. One case
in particular which l could not reach
with an inhaler or spray and where
the catarrh caused daily. headaches
and noticeable loss of hearing was
entirely cured by this harmless but
effective remedy"
! DR.. Wainwright says: Il never hes.
itate to prescribe Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets for catarrhal headaches and
catarrhal deafness because know
them to be perfectly safe for child OF
adult and have seen many remarkable
cures resulting from their regular
daily use; because they are advertised
and sold in drug stores is no reason
why any good physician should not
use them because we should selzG

started for the barn, which stood close

went sssing through the air like a
comet, and lit square on the end Of the
bulls nose. He stopped, snorted and
the air was filed with blood. 1t was
fatal moment for the bull. No sooner
did the first rock, reach it's mark, than
another came, landing just behind the
horn. The bull turned to go to his
pen, and as he turned, Taggart threw
another rock, which took him in the
ribs. The way the rocks flew from the
other side, Taggart thought Nell had
a cannon, and was firing grape shot.
Into the pen the bull went, believing,
blood flowing from his nose in a
stream. He was closely followed by
Nell and Taggart, who were desirous
of closing the bars between them and
the bull. When in the act of clio Jing

the size of fist. 1t took him squarely
on the end of the nose, and when they
left the scene of this great battle, the
bull stood meek as a lamb, head down
like sick chicken, blood flowing from
his nose in a stream. Man had con.

The woman had viewed the battle
from afar. She had gone 10 the gar

the roof she shouted, "ThanA you"
No, that critter was not afraid of men

Taggart says a man who can stand

Knowing and loving her thus, It is but

felt by each one in the community as

was spent among the people of this
community. From earliest childhood
her bright intellect, her winning ways
