The Germs Of LaGripps are Conveyed Through
the Atmosphere.

No one can escape tho La Grippe
germ because when an epidemic Of the
disease is prevailing the air is laden
with it.
The reason everyone does not have
the disease at the same time is be
cause the persons who are cnioving

resist and throw off the infection.
while those. who for any reason arc
not in the best Of health fan ready
victims.
The first symptoms are those Of
acute catarrh. resembling Il hard cold
ana If prompt treatment is applied at
this time. it can easily be broken up;
one of the best remedies at this stage
is Stuarts Catarrh Tablets. sold by
druggists everywhere and if taken

two for two or three days. the danger
Of pneumonia and serious complica-
tions will be aNerted.
The Rev. l.. l.. Palmer. Bantist
clergyman of Cercsco. Mich. makes a
statement of interest to all catarrh and
grip sufferers. He says: "Stuart'S ca

blessing to me. ! have used them

FEW PEOPLE REALIZE
The Danger in That Common Disease
Ca;atr.

Because catarrhal diseases are so com
mon and because catarrh is not rapidly
fatal, people too often overlook and neg
lect it until some incurabie ailment de-
velops as a result OF the neglect.
The innamed condition Of the membrane
of the nose and throat makes a fertile
soil for the germs OF Pneumonia and Con
sumption-in tact, catarrhal Pneumonia
and catarrhal consumption are the most
common forms OF these dreaoed diseases
which annually cause more th;,.. one
quarter Of the deaths in his country.
Remedies Tor catafrh are almost as
numerous as catarrh sufferers out very
few have any actual merit as a cure, the
only good derived being simply tenn
porary relief.
There is, however, q very effective RENE
dy recently discovered which is rapidly
becorning famous for its great value in
relieving and permanently curing all forms
OF catarrhal diseases. whethe. located in
The head, throat, lungs or stomach.

composed Of gum derived from the
Eucalyptus tree. and this gum possesses

taste and so harmless that little children
