HAVE you ANY OF THESE


There is no disease so common in the
United States as cdiarrh because II an
pelrs in 40 many forms and attacks so
many different organs.
II Us common mistake TO suppose that
oatarrh liz confined 30 the nose and
throat Any Inflammation Of the mucous
membrane wherever luca.eh, accompanied
by abnormal secreuions. is catarrh
Catarrh of stomach or bladder, or in
testlnes is nearly as common as nasal
catarrh and muoh more serious, although
IT. is TRUE that stomach catarrh and
catarrh of other internal organs Is the
resulc of neglected nasal oabarrh.
A new remedy has recently appeared
which so Tar as tested seems to be re-
markedly effe,Gdve In promptly curing
catarrh, wherever ld.ated. The prepare :
tion is sold ny druggists generally under
the name OF S'tuar's Catarrh Tablets, aud
in addition TO being very palatable and
c0nvenien., possesses extraordinary mer-
1t. in many cases giving immediate re-
lief from the coughing hawking and con
slant clearing Of the throat and head,
those symptoms with which every one
is familiar Who has ever suffered from
colds in the head and throat.
Catarrh Is simply O continuation of
these symptoms until the trouble becomes
chronic and grows gradually worse from
year to year
S'tuart's QaNarrh Tablets are composed
OF Hydrastdn, EucAlyptol, Guaiacol and
similar antlseptics and catarrh specific.
from which 1t will be seen that no secret
is made of the ingredients and also tina.
no mineral posons are used, as is the
case With many well known catarrh medi-
dimes
For catarrh OF the nose. throat, bron-
chlal tubes, for catarrh of stomach in
tcstines or bladder no prepsratlon is sn
safe and gives such rapid and permanent
results as Sluar's Caitarrh Tablets.
An druggists sell them at soc for full
sized package. You can use them with
assurance that YOU will not contract
the cocaine or morphine habit as the
results from this cabarrh cure are ap-
parent from the first days use.

From n MeEBei ef Dick Bowling
Camp Of Confedp ate Veterans.

Camp Of Confedp ate Veterans.
Mr.. J.. l.. Cohen nemher OF Dick
Bowling camp. pays the following tribute
TO the ideal soldier upon this, the oc-
caslon OF tho anniversary Of his birth.
Tld Sc who cherish the memories OF the
pas are reminded that this day ccm-
men rates the birth OF a man whose life
and -arsuter were symbolic of those es-
se.a compenents that characterize
gre aeas; whose purity Of soul tender
ness 81 heart, consciousness OF human iaI-
libillty and keen sense of duty procured
foi kin coronet more precious than
earthly lndem.
Robert E. Lee was born in Wes.more-
land counfy, Virginia, on the 18th day Of
January, 1907, and died October 20, 1870.
These eursory remarks are suggested
by the perusal Of General Gordon's an
norrioelnent CT the next annual reunion,
to be held in Memphis Tenn, in Citing
the various articles of the constitution.
Article 2. section 2. reads
ITO cultivate the ties OF friendship that
should exist among those who nave shared
common dangers, sufferings and priya-
tons
II Is an incoutroyertfbie fact, that when
soldier Of the Sos meets a comrado his
old heart wakes warm with unrcstralned
trd, ! may say. Incompetent aible love,
which glows brighter and fbrighter as they
relate events wherein both participated
None but those who bore the brunL OF
battle, saw the awful carnage Of death,
heard the helliSh din Of war, can fully
realize the sentiment that lies escouced
IN the veteran soul!
There IL an underlined solcIude and
friendship that springs villain the heart
Of the Confederate soldier for his com
rade that links tl1em with an unlissoluble
chain, and when perchance the name OF
Lee is mentioned rhe tear-dimmed eye is
closed in silent eulogy and the hoary
head Is bowed in reverental mien thus
actions become more potent than words
His greatness, his life, his character
should forever be fitting copy for us all.
Then, comrades, let us who survive re-
new our loyalty and allegiance to the
lost cause, and to the msmory of our
soldier chieftain, Robert Il. Lee
"Bles. be The tie
That binis our hearts
In mutual love-
The fellowship of Christian minds
