FEW PEOPLE REALIZE
The Danger in That Common Dis
ease, Catarrh.

Because catarrhal diseases are so
common and because catarrh is not
rapidly fatal. people too often overlook
ana neglect II until some incurablc
hliiiient develops as result of the
! neglect.
The infamed condition of the MEM
nrane OF the nose and throat makes a
tertile soil for the germs of Pneumonia
ana Consumption, in fact catarrhal
pneumonia and catarrhal consumption
are. the most common forms of these
dreaded diseases which annually
cause more than one quarter of the
deaths in this country.
Remedies for catarrh arc almost as
numerous as catarrh sufferers, but very
iew nave any actual merit as II cure,
the only good derived being simply u
temporary relief.
There Is, however, a very effective
remedy recently discovered which is
rapidly becoming famous for it's great
value in relieving and permanently
curing all forms of catarrhal diseases,
whether located in the head, throat,
lungs or stomach.
This new catarrh cure is principally
composed OF "a gum derived from the
Eucolyptus tree. and this gum pos
sesses extraordinary healing and ants
/ epic properties. 1t is taken internally
IN the form of II lozengc or tablet.
pleasant to the taste and so harm
less that little children take them with
safety and benefit.
Eucolyptus oil and the bark arc
sometimes used but are not so con-
Venient nor so palatable as the gum.
Undoubtedly the best quality is
found in Staurt's Catarrh Tablets
which may be found in any drug store
and any catarrh sufferer who has tried
douches. inhalcrs and liquid medicines,
will be surprised at the rapid improve
nent after Il few days use of Stnurt's
Catarrh Tablets which are composed of
the gum of the Eucalyptus tree, com
bined with other antiseptcs which de-
stroy the germs of catarrh in the blood
and eNpel the catarrhal poison from
the s!stem
DR.. Ramsdell, in speaking of Catarrh
and it's cure says: After many eX-
periments have given up the idea
of curing catarrh by the use of inhal-
ers washes, salves or liquid medicines.
! have always had the best results
from Staurt's Catarrh Tablets: the red
gum and other valuable antiseptics
contained in these tablets make them.
in my opinion, far superior to any of
the numerous catarrh remedies so cX-
tcnsively advertised. The fact that
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are sold in
drug stores, under protection OF
trademark. should not prejudice con-
scientious physicians against them be-
cause their undOubted merit and harm
less character make them a remedy
which every catarrh sufferer may use
win perfect safety and the prospect
of Il permanent cure.
For colds in the head, for coughs. ca
tarrhal deafness and catarrh of the
stomach and liver, people who have
tried them say that Staurt's Catarrh
Tablets are household necessity.
