IT IS IMPORTANT
To Know What You Are Taking When
 Usinq Catarrh Medicines.

Catarrh is the short route to consump- tion, and the importance of early and judicious treatment of catarrh. whether located in the head, throat or bronchial 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 con- fusing, from sprays, inhalers, washeA ointments, and salves to powders, liquids and tablets.
 The tablet form is undoubtedly the most convenient and the most effective, but with nearly all advertised catarrh reme- dies 1t Is almost entirely a matter of guess work as to what you are taking into your system, as the proprietors, while making all sorts of claims. as to what their medicines will do, always keep it a close secret as to what they are.
 The success and popularity of the new catarrh cure, Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, is largely because 1t not only cures ca- tarrh but because catarrh sufferers who use these tablets know what they are taking into their systems, Stuart's Ca- tarrh Tablets are composed of Red Gum. Blood Root and similar valuable and an- tiseptic ingredients and are pleasant to the taste and being dissolved in the msuth they take immediate effect upon the mucus lining of the throat, nasal pas- ssges and whole respiratory tract
 The cures that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets have accomplished in old chronic cases 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 cocaine or morphine habit has been frequently contracted as the result of using secret catarrh remedies.

their declaration of Independence and
by energy and cohesion have won a
large measure of liberty, their sisters
