II Would Appear That Local Remedies
Would be Best for Cure of Catarrh.

Would be Best for Cure of Catarrh.
1t would seem at first glance that
catarrh being a disease of the mucous
membrane that salves, sprays, etc, be-
ing applied directly to the membranes
of the nose and throat would be the
most rational treatment but this has
been proven not to be true.
The mucous membrane is made and
repaired from the blood and catarrh Is
a blood disease and any remedy to make
permanent cure must act on the
blood and when the blood is purified
from catarrhal poison, the secreuons
from the mucous membrane will be-
come natural and healthy.
In this climate, thousands OF people
seem scarcely ever free from some form
of eatarrh: it gets better at times but
each winter becomes gradually deeper
seated and after a time the sufferer re-
signs himself to it as a necessary evil
Catarrh cures are almost as numerous
as catarrh sufferers, blu tare nearly all
so announcement and ineffective as to
render their use q nuisance nearly as
annoying as catarrh itself; anyone who
has, used douches, sprays and powders
will bear witness to their inconvenience
end failure to really cure.
There are number of excellent in
ternal remedies for catarrh, but prob
ably the best and certainly the safest
is new remedy. composed of Red Gum,
Blood Root and similar antiseptic reme-
dies and other valuable catarrh spec
ifics
This remedy is in tablet form, pleas
ant to the taste and sold by druggists
under the name of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, and anyone suffering from
catarrh may use these tablets with abb
solste assurance that they contain no
cocaine. opiate nor any poisonous
mineral whatever.
A leading druggist in Albany speak
Ing of catarrh cures says, Il have sold
various catarrh cures for years, but
have never sold any which gave such
general satisfaction as Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets. They contain in a pleasant,
concentrated form all the best and
latest catarrh remedies, and catarrh
sufferers, who have used douches,
sprays and salves have been astonished
at the quick relief and permanent re-
suits obtained after a weeks use of
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets All drug
gists sell full sized packages for fifty
cents.
