AT FIRST GLANCE.
1t Would Appear That Local Remedies
Would be Best for Cure of Catarrh.

1t Would Appear That Local Remedies
Would be Best for Cure of Catarrh.
1t would seem at first glance that
catarrh being a disease of the mu-
cous mem brane; that salves, sprays.
ETC., being applied directly to the
mem branes of the nose and throat,
would be the most rational treatment,
but this has been proven not to be
true.
The mucous membrane is made and
repaired from the blood and catarrh
is blood disease and any remedy to
make q permanent cure must act on
the blood. and when the blood is pur-
tiled from catarrhal poison, the secre-
tions from the mucous mem brane
will become natural and healthy.
In this climate, thousands of
people seem scarcely ever free from
some form of catarrh; it gets better at
times. but each winter becomes grad
ually deeper seated and after a time
the sufferer resigns him self to it as
necessary evil.
CatarI cures are almost as uumer-
Gus as catarrh sufferers. but are near
ly all so Inconvenient and ineffective
to rend,r their use a uisance near
ly as annoying as catarrh itself; any
one who has used douches, sprays
and powders will bear witness to their
Inconvenience and failure to really
cure
There are number of excellent in
ternal remedies for catarrh. but prob.
ably the best and certainly the safest
is q new remedy composed of eucalyp-
toll. hydrastis, sanguinaria and other
valuable catarrh specifics.
This remedy is in tablet form. pleas
ant to the taste and sold by druggists
under the name of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets and anyone suffering from
catarrh may use these tablets with
absolute assurance that they con-
tain no cocaine. opiate nor any poison
Gus mineral whatever.
A leading druggist in Albany, speak
ing of catarrh cures, says: II have
sold various catarrh cures for years,
but have never sold any which gave
such general satisfaction as Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets. They contain in a
pleasant, concentrated form all the
best and latest catarrh remedies, and
catarrh sufferers who have used
douches, sprays and salves have been
astonished at the quick relief and per-
manent results obsained after weeks

druggists sell full sized packages for
so cents.

Effort to Have Fifteen Citizens
Subscribe 500 Each.-Much
Interest Shown.

Prospect of Rock Island having pro-
fessional baseball next season has
aroused considerable enthusiasm
among the followers of the game.
No better or more welcome evidence
of this fact has come to the surface
than an offer voluntarily made last
night by five citizens to subscribe
500 each to fund to start club.
NJ II Sexton and l.. G. Eddy have
been prevailed upon to direct prelim-
inaries and take general charge of
local baseball affairs until a permanent
organization is named. They have not
done any general canvassing and will
not do any providing sufficient finances
can be raised oy other process. They
favor the plan adopted in Cedar Rap
ids. where Is men have pledged them
selves to subscribe 500 each. believ-
ing it can be successfully worked in
Rock Island.

1t was shown that IL ere are hun
dreds of acres of land lying IN the
western and southern sectio.s OF

ideal locs ton for manufactures. The
coming of the latter would enhance the
lands value, as those employed in the
factories would desire to live near &c

ABOUT THE THEATRE

Naughty Anthony" which ran in
New York several months last spring.
and caught the popular fancy at once,
being full of comic incident and witty
dialogue, is to be seen tonight at the
Burtis. 1t deals with an episode in
the life of a professor of moral cul-
ture, who holds forth in the sacred
precincts of Chautauqua, and the eff
forts of this gentleman to extract
himself from the mesh into which his
fondness for his pupils entangIes him,
furnishes fertile field for three acts
of continuous merriment. This char
acter is acted by MIR. Evans. and the
fame he won for his impersonation of
the book agent in "a Parlor Match" is
sufficient evidence of his fitness to ex-
tract ali the possible humor from this
latest creation of Mr.. Belasco. In
conjunction with Naughty Anti ony"
the pathetic little play, MADAME
Butterfly" will be seen.
The funny original acrobatic farce
frolic by the famous Brothers Roger
is as lively a pell-mell production as
bowery restaurant at the noon rush.
1t is fast and furious III its ever
changing situations 1t gives the per-
formers no breathing spells, and bare
ly allows the audience time to catch
its breath between the laughing spells.
The play provokes, and the audience
shows no sign Of weakening during
the performance. The Brothers Roger
will be at Harper's theatre Sunday
night.
SeveDgala. the hypnotist, made his
first appearance in Reading last even
