Many Wonder.

Many wonder howitia that pin worms
and stomach worms get into little chill
dren, or how tape worm 300 feet long
can get in and exist and grow inside of
a man, as it sometimes happens. They
may we'll wonder, for it is a graat mys-
terry. However, many now know from
experience that Mothers Worm Syrup
will rid one of intestinal worms and
greatly improve the health after the
worms have been destroyed and expell-
cd. It is absolutely a harmless remedy
to take, and as it only costs 25 cents, all
should try it who suspect worms to be
the cause Of their i'll health.

Health and Beauty.

A poor complexion is usually the re-
suit of a torpid liver or irregular action
of the bowels. Unless nature's refuse
is carried off it will surely cause impure
blood. Pimples, boils and other erup.

of throwing off the poisons which the
bowels failed to remove. DeWitt's Lit

The New Discovery for Catarrh Seems to
Possess Remarkable Merit.

The New Discovery for Catarrh Seems to
Possess Remarkable Merit.
A new catarrh cure has recently APP
peared which so far as tested has
been remarkably successful in cur
ing all forms of catarrh, whether in
the head, throat, bronchial tubes, or in
stomach and liver.
The remedy is in tablet form.
pleasant and convenient to take aud
no special secrecy is maintained as to
what it contains, the. tablet being a
scientific com bination of guaiac ii,
eucalyptol, sanguinaria, hydrastin
and similar valuable and harmless
antiseptics.
The safe and effective catarrh cure
may be found at any drug store un-
der the name of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets.
Whether the catarrh is located in
the nose, throat, bronchial tubes or
stomach, the tablets seem to act with
equal success, removing the stuffy
feeling in head and nose, clearing the
mucous mem brane of throat and
trachea from catarrhal secretiOns,
which cause the tickling, coughing,
hawking and gagging so annoying to
every catarrh sufferer.
Nasal catarrh generally leads to Ill
ceration in some cases TO such an eX-
tent as to destroy the nose entirely and
in many old cases of catarrh the
bones of the head become diseased.
Nasal catarrh gradually extends To
the throat and bronchial tubes and
very often to the stomach, causing
that very obstinate trouble, catarrh
of the stomach.
Catarrh is a systemic poison, inhe-
rent in the blood, and local washes,
douches, salves, inhalers and sprays
can have no effect on the real cause Of
the disease. An internal remedy
which acts upon the blood is the only
rational treatment, and Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets is the safest of all inter
nal remedies, as well as the most con-
venient and satisfactory from medi-
cal standpoint.
DIR. Eaton recently stated that he
had successfully used Sluart's Ca
tarrh Tablets in old chronic cases,
even where liberation had extended
so far as to destroy the septum of the
nose. He says: Il am pleasantly
surprised almost every day by the
excellent results from Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets. 1t is remarkable how
effectually they remove the excessive
secretion and bring about healthy
condition of the mucous membranes
of the nose, throat and stomach.
All druggists sell complete treat
ment of the tablets at so cents and q
little book giving the symptoms and
causes of the various forms of catarrh
will be mailed free by addressing F.
