new preparation for the cure OF ca
tarrh has attracted much attention in
the past few months and has met with
great favor from the medical profession
not only because it is remarkably sue
cessful in the cure Of eatarrh, but also
because it Is not a secret patent medi-
cine anyone using it knows just what
he is taking into his system.
1t is composed Of blood root which acts
on the blood and mucous membrane, hy-
drastin for same purpose to clear the
nucus from head and throat, and red
gum of eucalyptus tree to destroy ca
tarrhal germs in the blood.
All Of these antiseptic remedies are
combined in the form of a pleasant taat-
ing tablet or lozenge, and are sold by
druggists under name of Stuart's CO.
tarrh Tablets, and many recent tests in
chronic catalrh cases have established
its merit beyond question.
DR.. Sebring states that he has discard
ed inhalers, sprays and washes and de-
ponds entirely upon Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets in treating nasal catgrrh. He
says: II have had patients who had
lost the sense of smell entirely. and
whose hearing was also imTN Tired from
nasal catarrh, recover completely after
a few weeks use OF Stuart's Cktarrh Tab
lets. / have been equally SUCCESSFUL with
the remedy in catarrh of THROAT and ca
tarrh OF stomach. l cah only explain 1t
on the principle that catarrh is con-
stitutional disease, and that the antisep-
tic properties in these tablets drives the
catarrhal poison completely out Of the
system"
Dr.. Odell says, I have cured many
cases os catarrh of stomach in past four
months by the use of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets alone without the use of any
other remedy and without dieting. The
tablets are especially useful in nasal ca
tarrh and catarrh of the throat, clearing
the membranes and overcoming the con-
tinual hawking, coughing and expectorat-
ing. so disgusting and annoying to ca
tarrh sufferers.

EXTRAORDINARY MERIT
Of a New Catarrh Cure

Physicians are slow to take up new and
untried remedies, until their value has
been established by actual experiment,
and they are naturally skeptical of the
many new preparations constantly APP
pearing and for which extravagant claims
are made.
The most liberal and enlightened ply
sicians are always ready. however, to
make a fair trial of any new specific and
get at it's true medical value.

Wilmington, NJ c.. Feb. 21.-The weekly
statement of receipts of cotton and naval
stores at the port of Wilmington. posted
today at the Produce Exchange, shows an
increase of about $500 in the number OF
bales Of cotton that came on the market
while the decrease in naval stores is in
about the same proportion. For the past
few days of the week, however, cotton
has been coming in very slowly, which
gives rise to the belief that the recent
sharp advance brought to market about
all the staple that was being held in the
country. The continued shortness in re-
