TITS IMPORTANT
To Know What You Are Taking
When Using CHtarrh Medicines.

Catarrh is the short route 10 consump-
ton, and the Importance of early and
judicious treatment of catarrh. whether
located i'm the head. throat, or bronchial
tubes, cannot be too strongly emphasized.
The list of catarrh cures is long as
the moral law and the forms in which
they are administered numerous and con-
fusing, from sprays. inhalers. washes
ointments, and saIves to powders, liquids.
and tablets.
The tablet form is undoubtedly the most
convenient and most effective, but with
nearly all advertised catarrh remedies IT
is almost entirely matter of guess work
as TO what you are taking into your sys-
tenn, as the proprietors, while making all
sorts of claims to what their medicines
will do, always keep it a close secret as TO
what they are.
The success and popularity of the new
catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
is largely because il not only cures ca
tarrh but because catarrh sufferers who
use these tablets know what they are
taking into their systems. Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets being composed of Eucalyp-
tol. Hydrastin. Guaicoi and similar valu-
able and antiseptiC ingredients, and are
pleasant to the taste and being dissolved
in the mouth they take immediate effect
upon the mucous lining of the throat,
nasal passages and whole respiratory
tract
The cures that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
have accomplished in old chronic cases of
catarrh are little short of remarkable,
and the advantage of knowing what you
are putting into your stomach is of para
mount Importance when il is remembered
that the cocaine or morphine habit has
been frequently contracted as the result
of using secret catarrh remedies.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets meet with cor
dial approval from physicians, because
their antiseptic character renders them
perfectly safe for the general public to
use and their composition makes them a
common sense cure for all forms of ca
tarrhal troubles
All druggists sell them at so cents for
full sized packages.
