IT IS IMPORTANT
To Know What You Are Taking When
 Usine catarrh Medicines.

00$UA SdtatIu IVC4bStUGos
 Catarrh is the short route to consump- tion, and the importance of early and ju- dioious treatment of catarrh, whether lo- cated in the head, throat or branofiial tubes cannot be too strongly emphasized.
 The list of catarrh cures Is as long as the moral law and the forms in which they are administered. numerous and confusing. from sprays, inhalers, washes, ointments. and saives to powders. liquids and tablets.
 Tho tablet form is undoubtedly the most convenient and most effective. but with nearly all advertised catarrh remedies 1t is almost entirely a matter of guess work as to what you are taking into your sys- tenn, as the propristors, while making all sorts of claims as to what their medi- cines win do, always keep it a close se- cret as to what they are.
 The success and popularity of the new catsrrh cure. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. is largely because 1t not only cures catarrh but because oatarrh sufferers who use these tablets know what they are taking into their systems. Stuart's Cataxrh Tab let's being composed of Eucolyptol. Hy- drastin, Guaicol and similar valuable and antiseptic ingredients. and are pleasant to the taste and being dissolved in the mouth they take immediate effect upon the mu- cous lining of the throat, nasal passages and whole respiratory tract.
 The cures that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets have accomplished in old chronic oases of catarrh are little short of remarkable and the advantage of knowing what you are putting into your stomach is of para mount importance when 1t is remembered that the cacaine or morphine habit has been frequently contracted as the result of using secret catarrh remedies.
 Stuart's Catarrh Tablets Yeet with cor dial approval from phyBieians. because their antiaeptic charactaP re0der thern uer- feotly safe for the general public to use and their composition makes them a conn mon sense cure for all forms of catarrhal troubles.
 All druggists sell them at 50 cents for full sized packages.
