ternal remedy in tablet form; druggists
everywhere admit that Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets which they sell at so cents for
full sized treatment Is the safest, most
effective and popular of all catarrh rem
edies.
Nearly all cheap cough mixtures and
throat lozenges contain opiates; these
cheap medicines give temporary relief,
especially with little children, by destroy
ing nerve sensation; the, irritation In
throat, which causes coughing is tenn
porarily removed, not by removing the
cause but by deadening the nerves of
feeling the irritation Is not felt although
1t is still there and will promptly re-
turn
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is the best
remedy to remove catarrhal secretion
because they are composed of wholesome
antiseptics like Red Gum. Blood Root,
etc.: when you use these tablets you
know what you are putting into your
system and not taking chances with
cocaine, opiates or similar poisons found
in so many catarrh cures and cough
me dicines.
Dr. Ramsdell in commenting on catarrh
cures says: II can heartily recommend
stuart's Catarrh Tablets, because they
contain no cocaine nor other dangerous
drug found In SO many advertised ca
tarrh cures 1 have known of many cases
of long standing catarrh Of the head and
throat completely cured by the daily use
of these tablets for several weeks. One
case in particular. which l could not
reach with an inhaler or spray and where
the catarrh caused daily headaches and
a noticeable loss of hearing was entirely
cured by this harmless but effective rem
edy'
DIR. Wainwright says: Il never hesitate
to prescribe Stuart's Catarrh Tablets for
catarrhal headaches and catarrhal deaf
ners because / know them to be perfectly
safe for child or adult and have seen
many remarkable cures resulting from
their regular daily use; because they are
advertised and sold in drug stores is no
reason why any good physician should
not use Them because we should seize
upon the means of cure wheI ever found"
Staurt's Catarrh TABLETS are especially
valuable for catarrhal colds in children
because they are pleasant to the taste
and may be used freely to break up Sc

Robson Says He Was First TO

OTHER CLUBS FELL IN LINE
When Practice of Selling Players Be-

SpaIdine's Real Position.

Cleveland, January 10.-President Frank
Dehaas Robson of the st. Louis National
League Baseball Club today gave out an
open letter to A. G. Spalding in reply to
a published interview with the latter a
few days since. In part it says;
"A number of years ago the Chicago
club, of which you were then president.
my opinion the beginning of the downfall
of the National League, selling the re-
leases of Clarkson and Kelly for 500, 600
to the Boston Club. You established a
precedent that ever since has compelled
every other club to follow it or get out
of the baseball business. Under the meth
cd established by you, the ST. Louis Base
ball Company during the session of 1900
paid out over $4,000 for the release of
ball players to strengthen its club.
"When you began the practice of selling
ball players, that moment the National
League lost the respect and confidence Of
the baseball players, and the players
were forced to form the Players Protec-
tive Association. and demand of the Ma
tional League that this tyrannical process
could no longer be endured, and the Ma
tional League accepted and agreed to
their demands.
Mr.. Brush suggested to you to re-
tire l say to you to retire.
Before doing so you might enlighten
an anxious baseball public from ocean to
ocean as to why the Chicago club has
not paid Adrian c. Arson any dividends
on his Chicago Baseball Company stock
(Which he paid for). Also why you took
Mr.. Arson on trip across the ocean
only a few years ago and only gave him
few hours notice pending a syndicate
baseball deal between the Chicago Base
ball Club and the Cleveland Baseball
Club that was never consummated and
at which time you was wearing what
was called in baseball parlance gum
shoes
Take away the screen and let the pub
lie see that the only object you have in
view of this baseball controversy is to
renew the baseball contract between the
National League and A. e.. Spalding and
brothers.
II will try and keep in the front firing
line and remain there as long as the am
munition lasts. The supply Is very large.
Yours truly,

to the disputed presidency of the League:
THE Boston Association is ready to ac-

abide by it and loyalty support the per-
sons elected If they are declared legally
elected. If not, we desire a legal election
and a meeting of the National League
should be called as soon as decision is
