NOTHING EQUALS IT
For the Cure Of Catarrh.

A physician now retired from
practice, but who still keeps abreast
of the times, in speaking of the adj
vance made in medicine, in the last
ten years, says: "One of the most
obstinate and battling diseases is
the very m trouble, catarrh.
Nasal catarrh is only one of its
many forms; catarrh OF the throat,
catarrh of the stomach, bowels
liver, and bladder are very COM
mon, but the sufferer usually
thinks it is something else than
catarrh, and is treated for the
wrong disease.
The best and most successful
treatme1t for any form of catarrh
is now admitted to be by internal
remedies through the stomach and
the safest and probably the most
efficient is in the tablet form, sold
by druggists as Stuarts Catarrh
Tablets.
| have een many remarkable
cures of catarrh resulting from reg
ular daily use of these tablets,
which seem to act on the blood and
liver, driving the catarrhal poison
out of the system through the
natural channels.
l once had occasion to analyze
these tablets and found them to
contain no cocaine nor opiates. but
simply a combination of harmless
~antiseptics like Eucalyptol, Guaia-
col, brood root, etc.
At any rate l have known of
severe catarrhal headaches which
cured by Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets. and catarrhal deafness.
hay fever. asthma and catarrh of
the throat and stomach speedily
show great benefit after a few days
use of the remedy, and when it is
remembered how much more on
yenient a tablet is than inhalers,
douches. salves and powders, 1t Is
not surprising that this new prep
aration should sc rapidly supplant
al other remedies for catarrh.

Temperance.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, Feb. 17.-At the Peo-
pies church today DR.. Samuel G. smith
in his sermon on Reign OF Law referred
to present conditions In Kansas and critt-
cised the new crusade without reserve. He
alluded to the fact that Rev. G. M. Sheldon
had advised in England last summer the
adoption OF prohibition and when his at
tention was afterwards called to the ex-
istence Of 100 places where liquor was sold
in Topeka, had replied that this law was
as we'll enforced as any other.
Continuing, he said: THE present state
of Affairs shows that the advocates of pro-
hibition in Kansas have been shutting their
eyes to the truth. But the present move
ment, assisted by ministers, covertly en-
dorsed by the religious press and said to
be backed by the national Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union, is even worse than
non enforcement Of law. This is nothing
less than anarchy
''If the hatchet is lifted against the sa-
loon, no wonder that churches are also
wrecked and men are mobbed. The doc
trine OF the sanctity Of the state is the
most dearly bought wisdom Of human his
tory.
''If the present officers of Kansas will not
enforce the laws, let the officers be i'm
peached and removed II possible. II that
canont be done. let men be elected the next
time who will enforce the laws.
'"If the people will not elect men who
will enforce the laws. let the laws be re-
peaied.

the Master says: He that will take the
sword shall perish by the sword Bleeding
Kansas should learn the lesson Of self-con-
