There is no disease 80 common in the
United States as catarrh because II APP
pears in many forms and attacks SO
many different organs.
il is a common mistake TO suppose that
catarrh is confined 10 the nose and throat.
Any Inflammation of the mucous mem
brane, wherever located, accompanied by
abnormal secretionS, is catarrh. Catarrh
of stomach or bladder. or intestines is
nearly as common as nasal catarrn and
much moro serious. although ii IS true
that stomach catarrh and caIarrh Of 9th
or internal organs is tho result oil neg

S,uart's Catarrh Tablets are composed
of jiydrastip. siIucalyptol, Guaiacoi and
similar antisepticS and catarrh specifics.

is made of the ingredients and also that
no mineral poisous are used, as is the
case with many wcll-known catarrh med

For caiarrh of the nose. throat, bron-
CHA, tubes. for catarrh OF stomach, in
