A CAUSE OF HEADACHE.
One Very Common Cause, Generally
Overlooked.

Headache is symptom, an indication
of arrangement or 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 To-
Gated in back of head and neck it is
often caused from catarrh of the stom-
ach or liver.
At any rate catarrh is the most COM
mon cause of such headaches and the
cure of the catarrh causes a prompt
disappearance of the headaches.
There is at present no treatment for
catarrh so convenient and effective as
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, new in
ternal remedy in tablet form. composed
of anti-septics like red gum, blood root
which act upon the blood and cause the
elimination of the catarrhal poison from
the system through the natural chan
nels.
Miss Cora Ainsley, prominent school
teacher in. one of our normal schools,
speaks of her experience with catarrhal
headaches and eulogizes Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets as a cure for them. She
says: Il suffered daily from severe
frontal headache and pain in and back
of the eyes, at times so Intensely as to
incapacitate me in my daily duties. ]
had suffered from catarrh, more or less
for years but never thought it was the
cause of my headaches, but finally be-
came convinced that such was the case
because the headaches were always
worse whenever 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 after using a few
fifty cent boxes which I procured from
my druggists 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, I'M
der the guarantee of the proprietors
that they contain absolutely no cocaine
found in so many catarrh cures1 nc
opium $50 common in cheap cough
cures) nor any harmful drug. They
/ contain simply the wholesome anti
septics necessary to destroy and drive
from the system the germs of catarrhal
di~ease.

WILL GUARD RIGHTS
OF BOLIVIAN SYNDICATE
State Department Watching
Acre Concession.
MORE TROUBLE BREWING
Brazil and Peru Refuse to Acknowledge
Bolivia's Authority in the Matter
Looking for Fair Play.

William B. Sorsby, the new United
States Minister to Bolivia, has been in
structed by the State Department to
make a full investigation of the cir
cumstances attending the granting by
Bolivia of concession to the "Boliv-
ian Syndicate New Jersey corpora
tion, known also as the Anglo-Ameri-
can Syndicate. to exploit the valuable
territory known as Acre, and the differ
enccs which have arisen between Brazil
Peru, and Bolivia over the concession.
Charles Page Bryan, Minister to Brazil,
and Irving B. Dudley, Minister to Peru,
have been also instructed to endeavor
to bring about an amicable arrangement
between the countries involved that will
serve to protect the syndicate in the
possession of any rights in the territory
Of Acre which the Bolivian government
was legally able to confer.
1t is learned that the Brazilian gov
ernment has not made claim to own
Acre. but bases its objection to the con-
cession on the ground that Bolivia vio-
lated its authority in cohferring upon
the syndicate exclusive rights of navi-
cation on rivers which furnish ap-
proaches to the Acre country AS these
streams also pass through Brazilian ter
ritory, the government at Rio de ia
metro declines to recognize the validity
of the concessions. and promises to make
trouble for Bolivia and the syndicate if
this feature of it is enforced.
The Peruvian government claims part
OF the Acre country, and for that rea-
son questions the validity of Bolivia's
concession. The United States Govern
inert does not intend to take any part
in the political questions affecting the
three countries concerned, but will de-
vote its efforts to seeing that the syndi-
cate is treated fairly.
A report from South America that
American commissioners, accompanied
by detachment of United States troops,
had sailed from New York, with the in
tention of entering the Acre country, il
denied officially.
