THE LITTLE SICKNESSES
Which Grow Into Big Ones.

A little cold in the head is a trihe. but
if neglected and it hangs on from week
to week and gets into the throat and
lungs it is no longer a tribe. It is then
no longer q slight cold but the begin
ming Of chronic catarrh.
Do not make the mistake of thinking
you have no catarrh because the head
and nose appear to be clear If there is
cough, tickling in the throat, hoarseness
or a sense of oppression In the chest you
have throat and bronchial catarrh. If
the appetite is poor, nausea, gagging and
disgust for food, especially in the morn
ing. you have eatarrh of the stomach
The surest and safest treatment for
every form of catarrh is an internal
remedy which acts especially on the
blood and mucous membranes
Such a remedy is the new catarrh
cure, sold everywhere by druggists un-
der name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, n
medicine in pleasant, convenient tablet
form and containing all the best and lat
est specifics for catarrh. whether Ioca-
ted in nose, throat, bronchial tubes or
stomach.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are composed
of Sanguinaria. Guaiacol, Red Gum and
similar antiseptics which destroy the
germs of catarrh in the blood, and no
one who suffers from any form of
catarFh and has seen the uselessness of
sprays, douches, and powders will ever
go back to them after once trying so
convenient, pleasant and harmless a
remedy as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, and
one which gives relief in SO short a
time.
Even in cases where catarrh has
effected the senses of smell and hearing,
these tablets accomplish a cure because
the blood being cleansed of ca.tarrh
germs, the mucous surfaces of the nose
and throat no longer clog up the res
piratory passages with catarrhal Sc
cretions.
All druggists sell full-sized treatments
OF Stuart's Catarrh Tablets for the nom
inal price of so cents. and the regular
daily use of them viii effectually cure
this troublesome and dangerous dis
ease.

by him at Parkersburg shows to the voter a
practical knowledge Of current events, wide and
liberal intelligence, and indicates that he IS well
fitted for the highest office in the State. No mis-
take will be made by nominating and electing
him to that position and with it will come and
remain the assurance that the State will have an
executive officer fearless, conservative intelligent
and faithful.
