An Extraordinary Engagement Of one
Nidht.

AHNh
Sporting Life" is the significant
title Of pretentious English melo
drama to be produced at the Brooks
theater next Saturday. The piece en-.
ioyed a prosperous run of six months
in New York at the Academy of Music,
and a record breaking engagement Of
FIVE months at Mcvickers theater
Chicago, last season, and comes here
heralded as the most elaborate pro
ar~t'7n of me'odrama ever given in
Al erica. hits claim would appear to
be bs-ne out by the marvellous des-
cription of the scenery provided,
there being no less than ~ distinct
scenes, several of them of astonish-
ing magnitude. A genuine training
stable, occupied by several genuine
race horses, is one of the attractive
features. A massive production of
the ancestral home of the Earl Of
Woodstock from the famous painting,
The Day of Reckoning" is regarded
as a masterpiece of the scene paint
er's art. Then there is a very elabor-
ate view of the Earl's court exhibit
ton grounds. showing th enumerous
booths, buildings and amusement de
vices, all brilliantly Illuminated; the
interior of the National Sporting club,
London, the boxes and stalls occupied
all in evening dress; and, lastly,
splendid view of the EPSON Downs
race course on Derby day. There are
numerous other scenes of lesser mag.
nitude, but all admirably designed and
executed. In preparing this gigantic
production, the management found it
necessary to make requisition upon
all the leading studios Of New York,
entailing an enormous outlay, but Sc
curing the benefit of the artistic
genius of those distinguished masters:
Joseph Physioc, Ernest Albert, Homer
Emens, oJhn Young, Gates G. Nor
ange, Hart & Becker and F. Platter.
To crowd so much diversity of seen
cry into FIVE acts necessitates some Of
the most rapid changes of scene ever
rtitpSssed. and the amazing celebrity
with which these changes are made is
one of the wonderful features of the
production. There is no delay in the
action of the piece, and the lightning
like transportation Of the spectator
from one picture to another is said to
be positively startling.

FEW PEOPLE REALIZE.
The Danger in That Common Disease,
Catarrh.

lne Danger ~ NAT common disease,
catarrh.
Because catarrhal diseases are so
common and because catarrh is not
rapidly fatal, people too often over
look and neglect it until some incur
able ailment develops as a result OF
the neglect
The infamed condition OF the mem
brane of the nose and throat makes a
fertile soil toI me serms of pneumon-
ia and consumption, in fact catarrhal
pneumonia and catarrhal consumption
are the most common forms Of Ehese
dreaded diseases which annually cause
more than one quarter of the deaths
in this country.
Remedies for catarrh are almost as
numerous as catarrh sufferers but
very few have any actual merit as
cure. the only good derived being sim
ply temporary relief.
There is. however a very effective
remedy recently discovered which is
rapidly becoming famous for its great
value in relieving and permanently
curing all forms Of catarrhal diseases,
whether located in the head, throat,
lungs or stomach.
This new catarrh cure is principally
composed Of a gum derived from the
Eucalyptus tree, and this gum possess
es extraordinary healing and anti
septic properties. 1t is taken internal
ly in the form Of a lozengs or tablet,
pleasant tc the taste and so harmless
that little children take them with
safety and benefit.
Eucalyptus oil and the bark are
sometimes used but are not so con
venient nor so palatable as the gum
Undoubtedly the best quality is
found in Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
which may be found in any drug store
and any catarrh sufferer who has tried
doueres, inhalers and liquid medi-
cines, will be surprised at the rapid
iLiltoY1-Lcrt after few days use of
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets which are
composed of the gum of the Eucoly-
plus tree, combined with other anti
septlcs which destroy the germs ~
catarrh in the blood and expel the
catarrhal poison from the system.
DR.. Ramsdell in speaking of Ca.
tarrh and it's cure says: after many
experiments have given up the idea
of curing catarrh by the use of inhal-
ers. washes, salves or liquid medi-
cines. l have always had the best re-
suits from Stuart's Catarrh Tablets;
the red gum and other valuable anti
! septics contained in these tablets
make them, in my opinion, far super
lor to any of hte numerous catarrh
remedies so extensively advertised.
The fact that stuart's Catarrh Tablets
are sold in drug stores, under protec-
tion OF trademark, should not preju-
dice conscientious physicians against
them because their undoubted merit
and harmless character make them a
remedy which every catarrh sufferer
may use with perfect safety and the
prospect of a permanent cure.
For colds in the head, for coughs,
catarrhal deafness and catarrh of the
stomach and liver, people who have
tried them say that Stuart's Catarrh
ior TO any Of the numerous catarrh
Tablets are a household necessity.
