AN INTERNAL REMEDY.
A Pleasant Tasting Tablet; Simple,
Convenient; Cures Every Form
of Catarrh.

The use of inhalers, douches, sprays,
salves and powders for catarrh is a
nuisance and Inconvenience at the best,
and cannot compare with antiseptic
remedies In tablet form for internal
use.
Internal remedies are the only ones
which can really reach the seat of
the disease which is In the blood and
local applications can no more cure
catarrh than rheumatism or kidney
trouble, the excessive secretion in nose
and throat being local manifestations
of a deep seated poison in the blood.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, the most
successful of the various internal rene
dies, is composed principally of highly
concentrated antiseptics, which destroy
the catarrh germs in the blood and
cause them to be eliminated through
the natural channels.
Progressive physicians use and ad.
wise Stuarts Catarrh Tablets because
they contain no cocaine, no opiate, no
enervating drug whatever, but are
composed of Guaiacol Hydrastin, Red
Gum and similar catarrh antiseptics,
and are so safe and pleasant that
even little children may use them with
excellent results.
Catarrh sufferers who have wasted
time and money on local applications
should not despair of a radical cure
until trial Of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets has been made.
A complete treatment may be pur-
chased at any drug store for fifty,
cents.

such county and township Offices as may
be necessary"
There is liaO.e TO be some complications
over this biennial election law. It does
not say what shall be done in the case of
the county officers whose terms of Office
expire before the general election Of 1902.
The constitution provides that they shall
hold for two years and until their sue
cessors are qualified. It does not say
elected or appointed but qualified. Now,
suppose the governor should take q no
ton to appoint officers to fill the suppos-
ed vacancies. Then the question might
be raised by the men in the Offices as to
whether the governors appointment
qualified them. It might be claimed that
the law did not gle him the right to make
such appointments and that no amount
of oaths or bonOs could make them duly
qualified. 1t is claimed about the court
house that all the officers effected by the
new law expect to retain Office another
year countin gthat the supreme court will
so hold.
