Catarrh is essentially'a disease of the
nucous membrane. the local symptoms
being profuse discharge of mucous,
& stoppage of the nostrils, irritation in
throat, causing coughing, sneezing.
sgagging and frequent clearings of the
throat and head.
The usual treatment by local douches.
Anuffs, salves. etc, often gives relief,
but anything like cure can only be
obtained by a treatment which re-
moves the catarrhal faint from the
blood and the disappearance OF the in

A new remedy which meets these re-
sauirements and which so far has been
4 Dramatically successful in curing catarrh
ID Stnart,s Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets act upon the blood and

hardly be called secret patent medf-

that probably the best and certainly the
