Miss Cora Ainsley, a prominent school teacher in one of our normal schools, speaks of her experience with catarrhal headaches and eulogizes Stuart's Catarrh Tablets as cure for them. She says: q suffered daily from severe frontal headache and pain in back of the eyes, at times so intensely as to incapacitate me in my daily duties. I had suffered from catarrh, more less for years, but never thought 1t was the cause of my headaches, but finally became con vinced that such was the case because the headaches were always worse when ever I had a cold or fresh attack of catarrh.
 "Stuart's Catarrh Tablets were highly recommended to me as safe and pleas ant catarrh cure. and arter using few ffty-cent boxes, which I procured from my druggist. I was surprised and de- lighted to find that both the catarrh and headaches had gone for good.''
 Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by druggists at fifty cents per package, un- der the guarantee of the proprietors that they contain absolutely no cocaine found in SO many catarrh cures), no opium (so common in cheap cough cures). nor any harmful drug. They contain simply the wholesome antiseptics necessary to de- stroy and drive from the system the germs of catarrhal disease.

A CAUSE OF HEADACHE
One Very Common Cause, Generally
 Over-L ooked.

Headache Is a symptom, an indication of Arrangement of disease in some or gan. and the cause of the headache is difficult to locate because so many dis eases have headache as a prominent symptom; Arrangement of the stomach and liver heart trouble, kidney disease, lung trouble, eye strain or i'll fitting glasses, all produce headaches, and if we could always locate the organ which is at fault the cure of obstinate headaches would be a much simpler matter.
 However for that form of headache called frontal headache, pain back of the eyes and in forehead, the cause Is now known to be catarrh of the head and throat; when the headache Is located in back of head and neck 1t is often caused from catarrh of the stomach or liver
 At any rate catarrh is the most com mon cause of such headache and the cure of the catarrh causes prompt dis appearance of the headaches.
 There Is at present no treatment for catarrh so convenient and effective as Stuart 8 Catarrh Tablets, a new internal remedy in tablet form. composed of anti septics like eucalyptol, guaiacol and blood root which act upon the blood and cause the elimination of the catarrhal poison from the system through the nat ural channels.
