FOR THE GRIP;
You Have Heard of Many Remedies
 Did You Ever Try This One?

Everybody you meet on the streets now adays either has just had the grip. is coming down with 1t or has a sure cure for 1t.
 The disease has been puzzle to physi- clans ever since it's appearance several years ago. and 1t Is as much of puzzle today as it was then. It exhibits such variety of symptoms in different indivfd- uals and leaves such disastrous results af- ter apparent recovery. that as yet its pre- vention and cure has baffied medical sci ence.
 However. there is no doubt but that the grin Is catarrhal in character, and the leading symptom in nearly every case is increased secretion in the head and throat fin fact. the first indications of lagrippe are those of cold in the head which ex- tends to the throat and lungs.
 pr. Johnson Ames advises as the safest course to pursue on the first appearance of grip symptoms is to keep to the house for a day or two and take Stuart's Ca- tarrh Tablets every hour the first day and every two hours the following day, and states that this will break up the trouble before it becomes deep-seated.
 These catarrh tablets are antiseptic and harmless. and prevent fever and the fur ther development of grip germs, and ward off the ever present danger of pneu- monia. 9F
 Dr. Gerald Simpson says: T have found Stuart's Catarrh Tablets a pleasant and thoroughly reliable remedy for the grip. especially with elderly people, with whom this prevailing disease is always danger ous the tablets can be found at any drug store. and if used freely during the first few days of the attack will break it up.''
 Lagrippe is a catarrhal affection; the germs are in the air. and no one Is proof against it, but the timely use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets will prevent any serious results
