The Rev. Mr.. Cobb at the Tripp Ave-

audience last night. He took for his
text. Come unto Me all ye that labor
and are heavily laden. and l will give
you rest. Take My yoke upon you and
learn of Me, for / am meek and lowly
in heart and you shall find rest for
your souls" He continued by saying
none other could have extended such
an invitation. The knowledge given by
Christ brings rest and freedom. He is
free. indeed, when truth makes him
free There has never been any teach
or like Him. There Is no yoke like His
and no rest like that found in Christ.
At the close of the services there

AT FIRST GLANCE,
II Would Appear That Local REM
edies Would Be Best for Cure of
Cafarrh

1t would seem at first glance that
catarrh being n disease of the mu-
cous membrane: that salves, sprays.
etc, being applied directly to the
membranes of the nose and throat
would be the most rational treatment
but this has been proven not to be
true.
The mucous membrane Is made and
repaired from the blood and catarrh
is blood disease and any remedy to
make "a permanent cure must act on
the blood, and when the blood is puri-
fed from catarrhal poison, the secrc-
tons from the mucous membrane will
become natural and healthy.
In this climate, thousands of people
seem scarcely ever free from some
form of catarrh; 1t gets better ut times
but each winter becomes gradually
deeper seated and after Q time the
sufferer resigns himself to II as a
necessary evil.
Catarrh cures are almost as numcr-
ous as catarrh sufferers, but are nearly
all so inconvcnient and ineffective as
to render their use a nuisance nearly
as annoying as catarrh itself: anyone
who has used douches, sprays and
powders will bear witness to their in
| convenience and failure to really cure
There are a number of excellent in
| ternal remedies for catlrrh, but prob
| ably the best and certainly the safest
| is a new remedy, composed of Eucaly-
ptol. Hydrasts, Sanguinaria and other
| valuable catarrh specifics.
This remedy is in tablet form. pleas
ant TO the taste and sold by druggists
| under the name of Stuarts Catarrf
| Tablets, and anyone suffering from
catarrh may use these tablets witt
absolute assurance that they contain
no cocaine opiate nor any poisonous
mineral whatever.
A leading druggist in Albany speak
| ing of catarrh cures says: II have
sold various catarrh cures for years
| but have never sold any which gave
| such general satisfaction as stuart:
| Catarrh Tablets. They contain in {
| pleasant. concentrated form all tn,
best and latest catarrh remedies, and
| catarrh sufferers who have uset
douches sprays and salves. have beer
| astonished at the quick relief and per
manent results obtained after n weeks
use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets" Al
druggists sell full sized packages foi
| fifty cents.
