They could not vOtes but they could talk

WHY SO MANY FAIL.
The Reason so Many catarra REM
edies are Unsuccessful.

There are few troubles, for which there
are SO many remedies and so called
cures as for catarrh and it may be
added there are few diseases so difficult
to really and permanently cure
Inhalers, sprays. powders and doucnes
are all applied locally and give temper
airy relief. often only a few hours. and It
Is doubtful if anything like real cure
or catarrh was ever accomplished by the
use of local applications
Catarrh is a constitutional disease, it
is in the blood like rheumatism and to
cure it requires an internal medicine to
act Upon the blood, TO drive out the ca
tarrha1 poison from the system entirely
and anyone can readily see that a salve
or powder or inhaler which simply clears
on the mucous membrane of the nose
and throat can have no effect on the real
cause Of catarrhal disease.
The remarkable success Of the new
catarrh remedy, Stuarts Catarrh Tab
let's is because ii Drives out Of the sys-
catarrhal poison, the germs of grip,
bronchitis and consumption and causes
the hawking, splitting and gagging be-
cause the excessive secretion IS no
longer supplied when the blood IS made
healthy from the regular use Of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets
The remedy is IN the form of large 20
grain lozengeS. pleasant and paiatable.
composed only Of wholesome aHtfseptics
and so safe to use that little children
euse them with perfect safety and bene-
fit II the little one is suffering from
colds. Group or cough from any cause.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets have been on
the market scarcely one year. yet they
have met with popularity and success
that druggists everywhere in United
States and Canada now have them in
stock and report a constantly increasing
demand Tor them.
