Not Necessary in Order to Cure. Ca
tarrll.

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 change of climate should
benefit for a time the catarrh will Gel
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 a permanent cure. as
they do not reach the seat ;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,
fOOC, fteu CIuiil.z dHu d new Specific CdllSu
Guaiacol, which together with valuable
antiseptics are combined in convenient,
palatable tablet form, and as valuable
for children as for adults.
Mr. 4. R. Fernbank. of Columbus, O.,
says: 81 suffered so many winters from,
Catarrh that l took it as a matter o,
course, and that nothing would cure II
except a change of climate. which my
business affairs would not permit me to
take.
my nostrils were almost always clog
sed up; I, had to breathe through the
mouth causing an inflamed, 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 a so
cent box Of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, be-
cause he said he had SO many customers
who had been cured of catarrh by the
use of these: tablets, that ne felt he could
honestly recommend them. I took his
advice and used several boxes with re-
suits that surprised and delighted me.
..I always keep a box of Stuart's Ca
.tarrh Tablets in the house and the whore
family use them freely on the first ap-
pearance of a cough or cold in the head.
with our children we think there isno-
thing 50 safe and reliable as Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets to ward off Group ana
colds and with older people I have known
of cases where the hearing had been Sc
cio,isly impaired by chronic ca tarrh cured
entirely by this new rem edy- s !.
