DOES NOT DlsApPoIvT.
The New Discovery for Catarrh
Seems to Possess Remarkable
Merit

A new catarrh clire has recently ap-
peared which SO far as tested has been
remarkably successful in curing all
forms of catarrh, whether in the head.
throat, bronchial tubes, or in stomach
and liver.
The remedy is In tablet form, pleas
| ant and convenient to take and no
| special secrecy Is maintained as to
| what 1t contains, the tablet being O
| scientific combination of Guaiacol, Eu.
| calyptol, Sanglinaria, Hydrastin and
similar valuable and harmless anti
septics.
The safe and effective catarrh cure
may be found at any drug store under
name of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets.
| Whether the catarrh iss located in
the nose, throat, bronchial tubes or
stomach, the tablets seem to act with
equal success, removing the stuffy
feeling in head and nose, clearing the
mucous membrane of throat and tra-
chea from catarrhal secretions, which
cause the tickling, coughing, hawking
and gagging SO annoying to every ca
tarrh sufferer.
Nasal catarrh generally leads to ul-
ceration. in some cases to such an
extent as to destroy the nose entirely
and in many old cases of catarrh the
| bones of the head become diseased.
| Nasal catarrh gradually extends to the
| throat and bronchial tubes and very
often to the stomach, causing that very
obstinate trouble, catarrh of the stom-
ach.
Catarrh is a systemic poison, inher-
| ent in the blood, and local washes,
| douches, salves, inhalers and sprays
| can have no effect OF the real cause Of
the disease. An internal remedy which
| acts upon the blood is the only rational
| treatment and Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
is the safest of all internal remedies,
| as we'll as the most convenient and sat-
isfactory from a medical standpoint
DIR. Eaton recently stated that he had
| successfully used Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets in old chronic cases, even
where liberation had extended so far
as to destroy the septum of the nose
| He says. i am pleasantly surprised
| almost every day by the excellent re-
| suits from Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. IT.
is remarkable how effectually they re-
| move the excessive secretion and bring
about a healthy condition of the mu-
| cous membranes of the nose and stom-
| ach."
All druggists sell complete treat
| ment of the tablets at Sc cents, and
a little book giving the symptoms and
| causes of the various forms of ca
tarrh will be mailed free by addressing

for Honors.


Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Pittston, April 17.-Three battles of
big cooking main took place at
Clfshams hall, Brownton, last night.
between the hours of II and IL, and
the fight wound up with a wrangle

tendance and many bets were made.

falo birds We're on hand with their
pockets well lined with greenbacks.
ElSuen battles were to have been

The first battle was between a Buffalo
acknowledged, blue-red, six-pound
bird and Washington Jap" called

though the latter was said to have a.
record OF winning four fights without
ever receiving scratch he ran from
the Buffalo bird and lost the fight.
For the second battle Buffalo had an
other blua-red and the Washington
ians brought forward a dun-colored
bird. which proved furious fighter.
and won out in ten minutes. Two
brown-reds We're pitted against each
other for the third battle, which was
progressing nicely when the Buffalo
birds handler picked up his charge
and his opponent cried foul, claiming
10 one had right to pick up Il bird
unless authorized to do so by the UNI
pire. The two officials failed to agree
on the decision. and the affair broke
up in a wranglc.
