successfully used Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
in old, chronic cases, even where ulcera-

the septum of the nose. He says: Il am

they remove the excessive secretion and

 TELEGRAPH OFFICE
COMPLETE TEST OF MARcoNl' sYsTEM-THE WILHELM DER CROSSE IN COMMUNICATION WITH THE SHORE.


 New York. January 15.--Through the wireless telegraph system the Kaiser, Wilhelm Der Crosse, of the North Ger man-Lloyd line, just arrived from Bre- men, Southampton and Cherbourgh, was for half the trip to the eastward and large part of her westward voyage in almost constant communication with other vessels on the shore. The ship was practically a floating telegraph office
 Captain D. Hogemann of the Kaiser Wilhelm Der Crosse, told of the tele- graphic marvels as follows
 Tt was the most complete test of the Marconi system that we nave ever had On December Is, of the banks of New foundland, the Kaiser ran into heavy fog. Late on Monday night the Kaiser ran into clear weather again. Herr Kron- kent flashed to the Lucanis this message: We are twenty-five miles east of the banks and in clear weather to which the Lucania replied: We are still in the fog, sixty miles astern. Many thanks When off the Lizard, the record or Herr Kron- kent shows twelve messages from the Lucania were flashed and reply stated that all of them had been correctly caught on shore"
 Of the Marconi successes on the western trip, Captain Hogemann said We passed the Kronprinz Wilhelm bound east al- most in mid-ocean. when the two vessels were forty-one miles apart. Greetings were exchanged between the passengers and positions given. of Nantucket light ship, soon after midnight twelve dis patches were sent ashore and all re- ceived. The Marconi system is a Host valuable attachment to a ship in case of accident or shipwreck.
 "On & recent trip of the Kaiser, during which l should have picked up the re- volving light of the Nantucket lightship, 1t failed to show up, and the lookout picked up instead of the two fixed white lights. Have you two fixed white lights?' 1 asked through the air. The answer came back: Our other light is out of order'"

Catarrh Tablets, the new catarrh cure. has met with such success that today 1t can be found in every drug store throughout the United States and Can ada
 To be sure large amount of advertis- ing was necessary in the first instance to bring the remedy to the attention of the public, but everyone familiar with the subject knows that advertising alone never made any article permanently sue cessful. It must have in addition absolute undeniable merit. and this the new ca tarrh cure certainly possesses in marked degree.
 Physicians who formerly depended upon inhalers, sprays and local washes or oint- ments. now use Stuarts Catarrh Tab lets because, as one of the most prom inent stated, these tablets contain in pleasant, convenient form all the really efficient catarrh remedies, such as red gum, blood root and similar antiseptics
 They contain no cocaine nor opiate and are given to little children with entire safety and benefit.
 Dr. J. J. Reitiger of Covington, Ky. says: T suffered from catarrh in my head and throat every fall, with stoppage of the nose and irritation in the throat af- fectlng my voice and often extending to the stomach, causing catarrh of the btoIHacn bought a nIty cent package of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets at my drug gist's, carried them in my pocket and used them faithfully and the way in which they cleared my head and throat was certainly remarkable. I had no ca tarrh last winter and spring and consider myself entirely free from any catarrhal trouble
 Mrs. Jerome Ellison of Wheeling, w. Va, writes: T suffered from catarrh nearly my whole life, and last winter my two children also suffered from catarrhal colds and sore throat so much they were out of school a large portion of the win ter My brother who was cured of ca tarrhal deafness by using Stuart's Ca- tarrh Tablets urged me to try them so much that did so. and am truly thank full for what they have done for my self and my children. I always keep a box of the tablets in the house and at the first appearance of a cold or sore throat we nip 1t In the bud and catarrh is no longer household affliction with us"
 Full sized packages of Stuarts Catarrb Tablets are sold for fifty cents at all druggists.
