NOT DUE TO CLIMATE.
Catarrh Is Found Everywhere.

Catarrh is at home anywhere and
everywhere. While more common in
cold, changeable climates. II Is by no
means confined to them, but Is preva-
lent In every state and territory in the
union.
The common definition Of catarrh IL
chronic cold in the head, which if
long neglected often destroys the
sense OF smell and hearing; but there
are many other forms of the disease,
even more obstinate and dangerous.
Catarrh of the throat and bronchial
tubes, as well as catarrh of the stom-
ach and liver. are almost as common
as nasal catarrh and generally more
difficult to cure.
Catarrh is undoubtedly n blood dis
case and can only be successfully era
dicated by an internal treatment.
Sprays, washes and powders are use
less as far as reaching the real seat
or the disease is concerned. 81
DIR. McIverney advises catarrh suf-
ferers to use a new preparation. sold
by druggists. called Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, because actual analysis has
shown these tablets to contain certain
anti-septic qualities of the highest
value and being an internal remedy.
pleasant to the taste. convenient and
harmless, can be used as freely as re-
quired, as we'll for children as for
adults.
An attorney and public speaker,
who had been a catarrh sufferer for
years says.
Every fall would catch cold.
which would settle in my head and
throat and hang on all winter long.
and every winter 1t seemed to get
little worse. I was continually clear
ing my throat and my voice became
affected to such an extent as to inter-
fere with my public speaking.
Il tried troches and cheap cough
cures and sometimes got relief, but
only for a short time, until this win
ter, when ] learned of the new ca
tarrh cure, Stuarts Catarrh Tablets,
through newspaper advertisement.
Two fifty-cent boxes which I bought
at my druggists, cleared my head and
throat in fine shape and to guard
against return of my old trouble I
keep box of the tablets on hand and
whenever / catch a little cold I take
n tablet or two and ward off any SER
ious developments"
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets deserves to
head the list as a household remedy,
to check and break up coughs and
colds. because unlike many other ca
tarrh and cough cures these tablets
contain no opiate. cocaine or any in
furious drug.

What We Have Always Said.
We are pleased to note that scien-
lists of reputation are coming to share
the views held by the proprietors of
Warmers Safe Cure for the past
twenty years. viz: that the kidneys
are the great eliminating organs of
the system. Nature made them so
and man never has nor can improve
on nature. II the poisons of the sys-
tenn are driven out as nature intended.
health Is assured, but IL these organs
are overworked, sick, and breaking
down, allowing the poisonous, waste
matter to be retained In the system,
i'll health Is certain and unless help
is given death will result.
The sensible course to pursue is to
put the kidneys in good working or
der by the use of Warmers Safe Cure
"A vegetable specific for all kidney
disorders; a cure that has been put
to the severest tests in all parts of the
civilized world and never failed of do
ing all that was claimed for it.
1t is not physical exercise men and
women want, but that the great organs
of the system exercise their natural
functions and Warmers Safe Cure is
the aid needed to put them and keep
them in perfect health. A free sample

Now, unless such waste Is elimin-

Senator Davis q Case in Point.
'For instance, there Is the sad case
of Senator Davis. His toe was poison
ed by his stocking and refused to heal.
Kidney complaint developed, or rather
the kidneys for a long time had not
done their full work, and the system
was so poisoned that the toe became
gangrened.
"The kidneys work easily during
youth-up, say, to thirty-five years of
age. But after fifty they become
slightly atrophied, they shrink a lit
tie. This is not disease, but SIM
pie effect of age. Consequently, as a
man advances in years he should ask
his kidneys to perform less work, in
stead of q little more.
'But, suppose n man OF business not
only uses his brain during business
hours, but also puts a strain on his
muscle afterward. There is waste then
to be carried off, mental waste and
