death of Alexander Novetsky by strik-
ing him on the head with some blunt
instrument. was Tuesday brought to
the city by an Old Forge constable.
and his case investigated before Judge
Edwards. at the request of County
Detective Phillips.
The result of the hearing was that
Pocalotsky was cleared of any COM

received by topping over the porch
OF Mrs. Agnes Shalkofslsi's saloon.

A NEW DEPARTURE.
A New, Effectual and Convenient
Cure for Catarrh.

OF catarrh remedies, there Is no end,
but of catarrh cures there has always
been great scarcity. There are
many remedies to relieve, but very few
that really cure.
The old practice Of snufiing salt wa
ter through the nose would often re-
lieve, and the washes, douches, pow
ders and inhalers in common use are
very little, If any. better than the old
fashioned salt water douche.
The use of inhalers and the appli-
cation of salves, washes and powders
to the nose and throat to cure catarrh
is no more reasonable than to rub the
back to cure kidney disease. Catarrh
Is Just as much blood disease as
kidney trouble or rheumatism and 1t
cannot be cured by local treatment
any more than they can be.
To cure catarrh. whether In the head.
throat or stomach, an internal anti
septic treatment is necessary to drive
the catarrhal poison out OF the blood
and system, and the new catarrh cure
IL designed on this plan and the re-
markable success OF Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets Is because being used inter-
nally, 1t drives out catarrhal infection
through action upon stomach. liver
and bowels.
WIN. Zimmerman, of st. Joseph, re-
lates an experience with catarrh which

bronchial tubes and finally even my
stomach and liver became effected hut
as l was able to keep up and do a
days work I let 1t run along until my
hearing began to fail me, and then I
realized that l must get rid of catarrh
or lose my position as | was clerk
and my hearing was absolutely neces-
sary.
Some of my friends recommended an
inhaler, another a catarrh salve, but
they were no good in my case, nor was
anything else until I heard of Stuart 9
Catarrh Tablets and bought package
at my drug store. They benefited me
from the start and in less than four
months I was completely cured of ca
tarrh although / had suffered nearly
all my life from it.
They are pleasant TO take and so
much more convenient to use than
other catarrh remedies that feel |
