the most obstinate and battling diseases
is the very common trouble. catarrh
Nasal catarrh is only one of its many
forms. catarrh of the throat. cstarrh OF
the stomach. bowels, liver, and bladder
are very common. but the sufferer usually
thinks it is something else than catarrh
and is treated for the wrong disease.
The best and most successful trea tms Mt
for any form of catarrh is now admitted
to be by internal remedies through the
stomach and the safest and probably the
most efficient is in the tablet form. sold
by druggists as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
Il have seen many remarkable cures of
oatarrh resulting from regular daily use
of these tablets, which seem to act on the
blood i liver. driving the catarrhal
poison out of the system through the IA
tural channels.
Il once had occasion to analyZe these
tablets and found them to contain no CO.
caine nor opiates. but simply a conbina-
ton of harmless antiseptics like Euca-
lyptol, Guaacol. blood root, etc.
AT any rate l have known OF severe
catarrhal headaches which were cured by
Stuart's Catnrrh Tablets. and catarrhal
deafness. hay fever, asthma and ca'arTh
OF the throat and stomach speedily show
great benefit after q few days use OF the
remedy. and when it is remembered how
much more convenient a tablet is than in
halers. douches salves. and powders it is
not surprising that this new preparation
should so rapidly supplant all other rem
edies for catarrh.

Omaha, Neb. The date OF the offence is
given as February II. but the method
Salisbury is alleged to have used to OBJ
tRin the money is not given, and the grand
jurymen and Assistant States Attorney
Sprogle refuse to discuss the case. They
say that Salisbury is not under arrest, and

this time.
OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 22--Guy G. Barton
surrounds the Indictment OF Salisbury,
alias Wood, with mystery. He was seen
and asked to explain the story. He left
Omaha four days ago ostensibly for New
York, but returned last night. He re-
fused absolutely to give any details of
the mystery. He said. however. that the
alleged larceny for which the man is in
dicted is in no way connected with the
National Smelling Company OF which Bar
ton is a heavy stockholde? and director.
This is a private affair he said, and
If / take the public into my confidence
the whole plan to bring the man to justice
may be defeated. | will not even say who
this man is or where he Ives"
Guy Barton is one Of Omaha's wealthiest
citizens, and before the consolidation OF
the smelling interests was president and
treasurer of the Omaha and Grant Smell
ter. President Nash, Of the National
Smelling Trust. who is 2 close friend of
Barton. is in New York ard it is known
that Barton was in active wire communi-
cation with Nash all yesterday

the affair of the smelling company.
