Years ago several large balls of cord

Near this we'll, of which l speak, is yet

large well, which is some thirty yards

slope has been dug by people gathering
mari which is plentiful there. A gentle

his hands linked with four others, some
time ago walked down the slope and to-
gether the five plunged into the deep.
They shot rapidly downward, but with the

the water to have magnifying properties

You Can Cure II.
A New Cure for Catarrh In
Tablet Form

The old time treatment for catarrh was
in the form of douches or sprays; later
on, internal remedies were given with
greater success, but being in liquid OF
powdered form were inconvenient and
were open to the same objection to all
liquid remedies, that is, that they lose
whatever medicinal power they may have
had on exposure to the air.
The tablet is the ideal form in which
to administer medication, but until re-
Gently no successful catarrh tablet had
ever been attempted.
At this writing, however, a most excel
lent and pafatable remedy for catarrh
has been placed before the public and
sold by druggists, called Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, composed of tho most recent dis
coveries in. medicines for the cure of ca
tarrh and results from their use have
been highly gratifying.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain prn-
cipally highly concentrated antiseptics
which kill the catarrh germs in the blood
and mucous membranes and in this re-
spect are strictly scientific and modern
as it has been known for some years past
by the ablest physicians that the most
successful catarrh treatment was by in
haling or spraying antiseptics.
The use of inhalers, douches and sprays
however, is a nuisance and inconvenience
and moreover can. is no wise compare
with the same remedies given in tablet
FORM either in efficacy or convenience.
