 would agree with that of the United States.
 The foreign alice thereupon reiterated the statement that this assertion was positively false. Upon attention being called to the fact that the dispatch In question did not claim that the alleged information had been received from Count von Habefeldt A high foreign officer read the advices from the German mbassador, and then said:
 Lord Salisbury has asked for a few days in which to consider the matter desiring to procure certain information before giv- ing final reply. No answer has yet been given, at least no formal answer. There has been some oral discussion between Lord Salisbury and Count yon Habefeldt, but it is rot true that Great Britain has finally replied in the same tenor the United States
 This repeated emphasizing publicly of the non-receiDt of a formal answer has deepened the impression that the London advices of the Associated Press concerning the matter are correct. the opinion that the German Foreign Office still clings to the hope of winning England over.

PLAIN TALK.
T3 Catarrh Sufferers.

Every person suffering from catarrh in its many forms, knows that the common lotions, salves and douches do not cure. It Is needless to argue this poiEt or .e cite cases of failure, because every victim of catarrhal trouble knows it for himself if he has tried them.
 A local application if it does anything at all, simply gives temporary relief; q wash, lotion, salve or powder cannot reach the seat of the disease which is the blood
 The mucous membrane seeks to reffevJ the blood of catarrhal poison by secreting large quantities of mucous, the discharge sometimes closing up the nostrils decend- ing to the throat and larynx, causing an irritating cough, continual clearing of the throat, deafness indigestion and many other dsagreeable and persistent symp- toms. U
 A remedy to really cure catarrh must be an internal treatment; a. remedy which will gradually clense the system from ca- tarrhal poison and remove the fever and congestion always present in the mucous membrane. E
 The best remedies for this purpose are Eucalyptol, Sanguinaria and Hydrastip, but the difficulty has always been to get these valuable curatives combined in one palatable, convenient and efficient form. S
 Recently this has been accomplished and the preparation put on the market under the name of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets; they are large pleasant tasting lozenges so that they may be slowly dissolved in the mouth, thus reaching every part of the mucous membrane and finally the stomach and in- testines
 An advantage to be considered also is that Sturat's Catarrh Tablets contain no cocaine, morphine or poisonous narcotics, so often found in catarrh powders, and the use of which often entails habit more dangerous than the disease.
 Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are sold by druggists at 50cts. for full sized package and are probably the safest and most ef- fectual catarTh cure on the market
