AFTER EFFECTS OF GRIP
Are OFTEN More Serious Than the Grip
Itself.

Are OFTEN More Serious Than the Grip
Itself.
Physicians and grip sufferers alike
are agreed that the effects of the dis
ease are more to be feared than the
acute attack; you can never be sure
that the disease has left the system
completely.
La grippe naturally attacks the
weakest organ and leaves it still
weaker.
Not only pneumonia, consumption,
bronchitis and throat trouble follow
the grip, but kidney, liver and stom-
ach are troubles just as liable TO re-
suit, provided any of these organs
should happen to be in weak con-
dition at the time of attack.
To get rid of the grip germ, to get
it entirely out of the system and
blood, few remedies are so good and
none safer than Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets; they are not a compound of
powerful and dangerous drugs. but a
pleasant, palatable. convenient rem
edy in tablet form, composed of the
wholesome antiseptic principles of
eucalyptus bark, blood root and SINH
lar germicide remedies which are
perfectly wholesome and harmless to
the system, but death to the germs of
grip, catarrh, consumption and dis
eases of the throat and air passages.
Mrs. Charles Gormley, of Memphis,
says: Last winter an attack OF
the grip left me with weak back, a
persistent cough ana loss of flesh and
appetite and after using various
remedies for several months with lit
tie or no Improvement 1 finally bought
a 80 cent package of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets at my drug store and as they
were pleasant and convenient to take
used them at all times of day or night
and / was astonished TO secure such
fine results from so pleasant and con-
venient a medicine. In two weeks
my cough disappeared, my appetite
returned. l improved in flesh and
color and no one would now think
that had ever had such a thing as
the grip.
My druggist told me he sold more
of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets for the
cure of grip. colds and catarrh, than
any other similar medicine.

BUTTER PROTECTION GOES"
OIeo Bill Wins. the Farmers Rallying to
Its Support.

Lansing, Mich, March IA. - The
farmers held the whip in the house
Tuesday and forced through the COM
mittee of the whole against the strenu
Gus opposition of legislators from the
cities and the upper peninsula Senator
GOOdelfs bill prohibiting the cOloring
of OleOmargarine so as to resemble
butter. This bill is a copy of the law
of other states. which has withstood
the test of the supreme court.
Several ministers who are stationed
ut st. Joseph are here working against
the passage of the LugerS bill. which
is designed TO do away with the Sun

requiring that licenses be taken out at
least five days before the ceremony.
These clergymen charge that the entire
agitation is due to a few SOrehead min

are not getting the fees.

Death of His First Wife.
General Harrisons wife died while
he was in the White House. and few
years later he married her niece, Mrs.
Dimmick. BY this marriage one son
was born. After the defeat of General
Harrison for president in 1892 he re-

Eenr of the Dead.


Fear OF the dead is instructive in
man. There is no doubt about that.
I do not profess to be able to enter into
the exact reasons for that fear; wheth'
or it be that man instinctively recoils
from contemplation of the fallen tenn
pie alone or what not, it is sufficient
that the fear exists
Neither is this instructive fear or the
dead confined to man. 1 owned a horse
once that could never be driven past
dead horse. The animal exhibited all
the signs of true fear.
Fear coupled with shock can produce
insanity. 1 do not think that the rea-
son of a normal man would be unseat-
ed if he were locked up alone with A
corpse for many hours, though per-
son with weak nerves certainly might
be so affected. If man discovered
that his sweetheart had died suddenly
while alone with him, the shock might
render him insane.
Even to those most familiar with
death and dead bodies there is some
thing awe inspiring about corpse. and
no mans nerves are proof against a
fright. / remember once, when 1 was
alone in the dissecting room at night
the hand of the subject upon which !
was engaged became loosened. / did
not notice what had happened. Sud
denly the arm of the subject swung
around, and the hand struck the side
of my face. Years of training in i'm
munity from superstition vanished in
the jump that gaye.-Dr. John D.
