CHANGE OF CLIMATE

tnrrh,

Not Necessary In Order to Cure Ca
The popular idea that the only cure for
chronic catarrh is a change of climate. is
a mistake because catarrh is found in ali
climates in all sections of the country:
and even if a change of climate should
benefit for time the catarrh will ce1
tainly return.
Catarrh may be readily cured in any
climate, but the only way to do it is to
destroy or remove from the system the
catarrhal germs which cause all the mis-
chief.
The treatment by inhalers, sprays, pow
ders, and washes has been proven almost
useless in making permanent cure. as
they do not reach the Sc x Of the disease.
which is in the blood and can be reached
only by an internal remedy which acts
through the stomach upon the blood and
system generally.
a new discovery which is meeting with
remarkable success in curing catarrh OF
the head, throat, and bronchial tubes and
also catarrh of the stomach, is sold by
druggists under the name of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets which are pleasant and
harmless to take owe their efficiency to
the active medicinal principles of Blood,
Guaiacol. which together with valuable
antiseptics are combined In convenient.
palatable tablet form, and as valuable
for children as for adults.
Mr.. A. R. Fernbank, OF Columbus, O..
says: IT suffered so many winters from
Catarrh that I took 1t as a matter OF.
course, and that nothing would cure II
except change of climate, which my
business affairs would not permit me to
take.
my nostrils were almost always clog
ged up; I had to breathe through the
mouth causing an inhamed. irritated
throat. The thought Of eating breakfast
often nauseated me and the catarrh grac-
ually getting into my stomach took away,
my appetite and digestion.
MY druggist advised me to try So
cent box Of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets. be-
cause he said he had so many customers
who had been cured OF catarrh by the
use of these tablets. tina, ne felt he could
honestly recommend them. took his
advice and used several boxes with re-
suits that surprised and delighted me-

are called on to appear in court, unless
they are able to be in many places at the
same time.
Members of the Legislature who had
anything to say about the matter were
inclined to laugh at Mr.. Wise's plan. They
could give no serious consideration to it.
and the same inclination was evident
among the members of the local bar who
were questioned on the subject.

First among these man-hunters stands
Tiger the hero of many an exciting
chase. Mr. Branch says he has a standing
offer of $1,000 for this hound. Last year
that dog earned $500 for me, and he is
my living. I do not want to part with
him. he said. There are Zen well-groWn
puppies in the lot and Mr.. Branch asks
the modest sum of 500 for each of Them
Speaking of Tiger and his connection
with the celebrated Nell Cropsey case.
Mr.. Branch said: When I took Tiger
down to North Carolina to put him on the
trail of the girl, several days had passed
since iler absence was noted. gave the
dog a stocking that hao been worn by
the unfortunate girl. and he Immediately
started out. He tracked her through the
cabbage patch, and after following the
trail for several minutes came back to the
house went to the sitting room, and
bayed the chair that Miss Cropsey was
accustomed to use. He trai1ed the girls
tracks to the edge of the river, and thirty
seven days later her body was found
within forty-five yards from the spot

ard the dogs followed him, baying at the
top of their voices, and struggled TO get
over the rail. Every day, at his home,
the boy gees out in the woods and5hides,
and the houids invariably find him and
tree him, until his father comes to his

Mr. Branch has only recently returned

! where he was employed at SIS a day to
track down strikers who fired from am

companies One of his dogs, John"
very valuable brute, was poisoned on this
trip. The dog took only three
trails and landed all three of his men.
who are now in Jail on charges OF at
tempted murder.
The coal operators are having diiiSent
search made for the man that poisoned
the bloodhound, and Mr.. Branch says he
is ready to spend nearly any amount of
money to land the fellow. He was in
Suffolk, having left his son in charge of
the dogs at Glenjean, w. Va, when he
received q telegram that John was Ill.
He got to the place fast as the fastest
train could get him, but his dog was dead
when he arrived.
Professor SCHULZ gave several exhibitions
of his trained Great Danes. Their per-
