PLAIN TALK
To Catarrh Sufferers.

Every person suffering from catarrh in
It's many forms knows that the common
Lotions, salves and douches. do not cure,
II is needless to argue this point or TO cite
roSes ~ failure. because every victim Of
catarrhal trouble knows IL for himself II he
has tried them.
A local application, II 1t does anything
Mt all. simply gives temporary relief: a
wash. lotion. salye or powder can not reach
tbe segt Of the disease, which Is the blood.
rho mucous membrane seeks to relieve
tho blood Of catarrhal poison by secTeting
large quantities Of mucous, the discharge
sometimes closing MP the nostrlls descend
Inc 10 the throat and larynX, causing an
irI3t1ting cough, continual clearing Of the
throat. deafness, Indigestion and many other
dIsarrceable and persistent symptoms.
A remedy TO really cure catarrh must be
an internal treatment; q remedy which viii
f1rrhaI poison and remove the fever and
congestion always present In the mucous
Thc hest Of remedies for this purpose
ore rucalyptol, Sanguinaria and Hydrastin,
INT the difficulty has always been To get
~, ,oinoble curaiives combined IN one
naaIsfoble. convenient and efficient form.
"pecently this has been accomplished and
the preparation put on the market under
tho name OF Stuart's Catarrh Tablets; they

and intcstines. . .
Aaapt Sfnart's Catarrh Tablets contain no
Zine morphine or poisonous narcotics,
