A distinguished specialist in the
treatment of catarrhal diseases. says
PROVIDERS, lotions, salveS, sprays and
inhalers cannot really cure catarrh
because this disease is a blood disease
and local applications, if they accom-
plish anything at all, simply give tram
sieut relief.
The catarrhal poison is in the blood
and the mucous membrane of the nose
throat and bronchial tubes tries to re-
lieve the system by secreting large
quantities of mucous, the discharge
sometimes closing up the nostrils,
dropping into the throat, causing deaf
ness by closing the eustachian tubes,
and after time causing catarrh of the
stomach or serious throat and lung
trOribles.
A remedy to really cure catarrh must
be an internal remedy which Will
cleanse the blood from catarrhal poi
son and remove it from the system.
When this is done the local expression
of catarrh in the mucous membrane
will disappear"
This is abundantly proven by the sue
cess attending the use of Stuarts Ca
tarrh Tablets. Taken internally and
acting upon the constitution only
through the blood they overcome the
systemic predispostion to the disease
and antidote or eliminate all catarrhal
POISON. They cure catarrh of one part
as readily as of other parts, no mat
ter where it turks in the system they
will cure it with equal ease and GER
tainty. The catarrhl burdened sufferer
has simply to take them and they will
do the rest

INCREASE IN POPULATION.
For The First Time South Gains a Bit Faster
Than the North.

Washington. Jan. 13.-The director of
the census announced, today, the per-
ccntage of increase of population in
different parts of the country, showing
for the last decade a rapid decrease
fran previous rate of growth of popu-
lation in the West, less marked, but
decided decrease in the North, and a
slight increase in the South. For the
first time in the history of this country
the population of the South has in
creased somewhat more rapidly than
that of the North. The East, geograph-
ically, is included in the term North.
The rate of growth in the North, West
and South is far more nearly the same
than it has ever been. The official an
nouncement divides the country as fol-
lows:
West, from the Pacific to the east
ern boundary of Montana, Wyoming.
Colorado and New Mexico; North and
South. the respective sides of a line
formed by the Potomac and Ohio rivers
and the southern boundaries of Mis-
souri, and Kansas.
The percentage of increase from 1860
to 1850 was els in the North; 4S4 in
the South; and 1856 in the West; while
in the last 20 years, 1SS0-1900 it was
1877 in the North; 4S.5 South; and 1915
West.
Prior to the Civil war the Northern
states nearly doubled in population
with each 20 years, while in the South
ern states the increase of population
was only about two-thirds as great
Since 1860 the rate Of growth in both
parts of the country has been much
less. but, while the rate of growth in
the North has decreased steadily, that
in the South during the 20 years from
1860 to 1880 has been slightly less. Dur
Ing the last 20 years there has been no
substantial difference in the rate Of
growth Of the two sections.
