quest of Mrs. Carrie !. Harris. of North

AT FIRST GLANCE.
1t Would Appear That Local Remedies
Would be Best for Cure of Catarrh

Would be Best for Cure of Catarrh.
!
1t would seem at first glance that ca
tarrh being . disease of the mucous mem
brane; that salves, sprays, ETC.. being ap-
piled directly to the membrane of the
nose and throat. would be the most ra-
tional treatment, but this has been proven
not to be true
The mucous membrane is made and re-
paired from the blood and catarrh is a
blood disease and any remedy TO make a
permanent cure must act on the blood
and when the blood is purified from ca
tarrhal poison, the secretions from the
mucous membrane Will become natural
and healthy.
In this climate, thousands of people
seem scarcely ever free from some form
of catarrh; it gets better at times but
each winter becomes gradually deeper
seated and after a time the sufferer re-
signs himself to it as necessary evil.
CataTrh cures are almost as numerous
as catarrh sufferers, but are nearly all
so inconvenient and ineffective as to rem
der Their use a nuisance nearly as annoy
ing as catarrh itself; any one who has
used douches, sprays and powders will
failure to really cure.
There are a number of excellent inter-
nal remedies for catarrh but probably
The best and certainly the safest is a
new remedy, composed of Eucalyptol. Hy-
drastis, Sanguinaria and other valuable
catarrh specifics.
This remedy is in tablet form, pleasant
TO the taste and sold by druggists under
the name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, and
anyone suffering from catarrh may use
these tablets with absolute assurance that
they contain no cocaine opiate nor any
poisonous mineral whatever.
A leading druggist in Albany speaking
of catarrh cures says, Il have sold varl-
Gus catarrh cures for years. but have
never sold any which gave such general
satisfaction as StuarI's Catarrh Tablets.
They contain in pleasant, concentrated
form all the best and latest catarrh rem
edies and catarrh sufferers who have
used douches. sprays and salves, have
been astonished at the quick relief and
permanent results obtained after
weeks use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets"
All druggists sell full sized packages for
fifty cents.

physical health was robust enough to have
carried her over ten years if there had
been no great strain upon her mind and

week her chief medical attendant said
she had enough vitality to last, but not
enough to keep her mind going as we'll as
her body. If her mind had given way,

might have kept on living for a long time,
