AN. INTERNAL REMEDY.
A Pleasant Tasting Tablet; Simple Convenient; Cures Every
 Form of Catarrh.

The use of inhalers, douches, sprays, salves and powders for catarrh is nuis- ance and inconvenience at the best. and cannot compare with antiseptio remedies in tablet form for internal use.
 Internal remedies are the only ones which can really reach the seat of the disease which is in the blood and local ap- plications can no more cure catarrh than rheumatism or kidney trouble. the exces, sive secretion in nose and throat being local manifestations of a deep-seated poison in the blood.
 Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, the most suc- cessful of the various internal remedies, is composed principally of highly concen- trated antiseptics, which destroy the ca tarrh germs in the blood and causes them to be eliminated through the natural channels.
 Progressive physicians use and advise Stuarts' Catarrh Tablets because they contain no cocaine. no opiate, no enervat- ing drug whatever, but are composed of Guaiacol Hydrastin, Red Gum and sim liar catarrh anticeptics, and are so safe and pleasant that even little children may use them with excellent results.
 Catarrh sufferers who have wasted time and money on local applications should not dispair of a radical cure until trial of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets has been made. A complete treatment may be pur- chased at any drug store for fifty cents.

Obi eCtS TO Taxes.

The Borough Of Marcus Hook
seems to be having more than its
share of trouble this year. First
came the deadlock in the organiza.
ton OF Council. then the difficulty
with the borough auditors, which
is now pending in court, and now
comes the prospects OF another big
lawsuit. At the recent sitting of
the county commissioners to hear
auv appeals that might be made
from the tax assessments. the Union
Petroleum Company, appealed from
its assessment and it is understood
gave notice that it would refuse to
pay the taxes.
The plant is located in the First
ware Of the borough Of Marcus
Hook, and has been in operation
for some time. The company has
large number OF tanks and build
ings, together with the machinery
necessary for Il similar plant, and
upon what grounds it desires to be
exempted from taxes is not known.
1t has been learned, however. that
the company does not own the
ground upon which the plant is 10.
Gated, and could not therefore be
taxed for it, but the company does
own the other property, and the
members OF Council think they
should pay their taxes.
The United States Pipe Line
Company, which is also located in
the borough, claims that they have
no right TO pay trxes and have also
appealed from the assessment,
This company does not own the
ground upon which their plant IS
erected but in addition has several
OF the largest tanks in the world
erected on the land,
