For the Cure OF catanh.


A physician now retired from prac.
tice, bat who still keeps abre ,st OF the
times in speaking Of the advance made
in medicine in the last ten years says:
'One OF the most obstinate and battling
diseases is the very common trouble,
catarrh.
Nssal catarah is the only one Of it's
many forms catarrh OF the throat, ca
tarrh OF the stomach, liver and bladder
are very common, but the sufferer usu-
ally thinks it is something else than
catarrh and is treated for the wrong dis.
ease. I1'
The best and most successful treat
ment for any form of catarrh is now ad
mitted TO be by internal remedies
through the stomach and the safest and
probably the most efficient is in the
tablet form, sold by druggists as Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets.
have seen many remarkable cures OF
catarrh resulting from regular daily
uee of these tablets, witch seem 10 act
on the blood and liver, driving the ca
tarrhal poison out Of the system through
the natural channels.
once had occasion to analyze these
tablets and found them 10 contain no
cocaine nor opiates, but simply COM
binstion of harmless antiseptice like
Eucalyptal, Guaiacol, blood root, etc.
AT any rate have known Of severe
catarrhal headaches which were cured
by Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, and ca.
tarrhal deafness. hay fever, asthma and
catarrh Of the throat and stomach
speedily show great benefit after lew
days use OF the remedy and when it is
remembered how much more convent
ent a tablet is than inhslers, douches,
salves end powders il ia not surprising
that this new preparation should so rap
idly supplant all other remedies for
catarrh 20 2S 32 2

An Evening Of Song.

A sacred concert was gwen at the
Methodist church Friday evening upder
the auspices OF the Sunday school
orchestra. The attendance Was 'large
and the program rendered elected un-
divided attention. This was the first
appearance OF this orchestra and they
won the praise of all present. Their
ensemble work was delightful. Miss
Lucy Edwards recited THE Spanish
Duel" in charming manner and rec
sponded to the encore with a selection
from Riley.
The Congr, galional church quartette
rendered "1he King OF Love by Shelley.
.in pleasing Miss Ethel Raymond
sang 81 Love Thee" and responded 10 an
encore by singing Two Maidens."
Mr.. Garrison played two Schuberts
songs. The expression he put into
these songs for the piano was wonder
fully vived and delicate.
The Misses Ethel Raymond, Lillian
Robin and Ethel Hughes gave an ex e
cellent rendition OF the sacred song,
"Wait on the Lord" The force and OK
preston Infused into their vocalization
was worthy of the highest commendA-
tion.
Miss Laura Thomas read " A Point Of
OF Knucklin' Down" with much ability.
This was rendered in such way as to
win demand for another selection.
VIM. Prentiss Drew then sang. "The
Two Grenadiers," in which his baritone
voice was heard at its best. All the
numbers we're excellent and combined
to form concert OF high order.
