THE OUTLOOK
IS BRIGHT
For Continued Activity In All
Business Lines.

New York, Nov. 15-R. G. Dun u
Co.'s weekly review OF the trade today
says:
Lower prices for railway stocks than
at any time since last March does not
necessarily indicate loss Of traffic nor
a setback In the business. On the con-
trary, coincident with the collapse of
the stock market, there were numerous
evidences that manufacturing and
transporting. interests have not suiii-
cient facilities to meet demands, al
though plants and equipment are of
greater efficiency than at any previous
time. Merchandise is fully maintained,
preparations being made for heavy
holiday trade, frequent complaints of
tardy deliveries testify to the heavy
consumption. Prospects for continued
activity are bright because OF unprece-
dented harvests, prosperity In the az
ricultural section assuring a good dc.
mand for other products. Threatened
labor controversies have been averted
In some cases. wages being advanced
while a number of increases were vol,
unfairly given.

REMARKABLE sue,
CESS
Sue
OF a New Catarrh Cure.

A large and constantly increasing
majority of the American people are
catarrh sufferers. This is not entire
ly the result Of our changeable eli
mate, but because modern investiga-
tion has clearly proven that many
diseases, known by other names, are
really catarrh. Formerly the name ca
tarrh was applied almost exclusively
to the common nasal catarrh, but the
throat, stomach, liver, bladder kid
neys and intestines are subject to ca
tarrhal diseases as well as the nasal
passages.
In fact, wherever there Is mucous
membrane there is feeding ground
for catarrh.
The usual remedies, inhalers, sprays,
douches or powders, have been prac-
tically failures, as far as anything
more than temporary relief was con-
cerned because they simply dry up the
mucous secretlons. without having the
remotest effect upon the blood and
liver, which are the real sources of
catarrhal diseases.
1t has been known for some years
that the radical cure of catarrh could
newer come from local applications, but
from an internal remedy acting on the
blood and expelling the catarrhal poi
son from the system.
A new internal preparation which
has been on the market only short
time, has met with remarkable sue.
cess ms a genuine, radical cure for ca
tarrh.
1t may be found at any drug store.
sold under the name of Stuarts Ca.
tarrh Tablets, large pleasant tasting
iozenges, composed principally of an
tiseptic ingredients, Blood, Root, Red
Gum and similar catarrh specifics.
DIR. Ainslee In speaking of the new
catarrh cure says: 81 have tried the
new catarrh remedy, Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, upon thirty of forty patients
with remarkable satisfactory results.
They clear the head and throat more
enectually and lastingiy than any
douche or inhaler that have ever
seen' and although they are what is
called patent' medicine and sold by
druggists, l do not hesitate to recon-
mend them as know them to be free
from cocaine and opiates, and that
even little child may use them with
entire safety"
Any sufferer from nasal catarrh,
throat or bronchial trouble, catarrh of
the stomach, liver or bladder. will
