1T Is IMPORTANT.
To Know What You Are Taking
When Using Catarrh Medicines.

Catarrh ia the short route to con-
sumption, and the Importance of early
and judicious treatment of catarrh,
whether located in the head, throat or
bronchial tubes, cannot be too strongly
emphasized.
The list of catarrh cures is as long
as the moral law and the forms in
which they are administered, numerous
and confusing, from sprays, inhalers,
washes, ointments, and salves to pow
ders and tablets.
The tablet form is undoubtedly the
most convenient and most effective, but
with nearly all advertised catarrh REM
edles 1t Is almost entirely q matter of
guess work as to what you are taking
into your system, as the proprietors,
while making all sorts of claims as to
what their medicines will do, always
keep 1t a close secret as to what they
are.
The success and popularity of the
new catarrh cure, Stuarts Catarrh
Tablets, Is largely because it not only
cures catarrh but because catarrh suf-
ferers who used these tablets know
what they are taking into their sys-
TENS. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets being
composed of Red Gum, Blood Root and
similar valuable and antiseptic ingred-
tents and are pleasant to the taste and
being dissolved in the mouth they take
immediate effect upon the mucous lin
ing Of the throat, nasal passages and
whole respiratory tract.
The cures that Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's have accomplished in old chronic
cases of catarrh are little short Of re-
markable. and the advantage Of know
ing what you are putting into your
stomach Is Of paramount Importance
when it is remembered that the cocaine
or morphine habit has been frequently
contracted as the result of using secret
catarrh remedies
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets meet with
cordial approval from physicians, be-
cause their antiseptic character render
them perfectly safe for the general
public to use and their composition
makes them common sense cure for
all forms of catarrhal troubles.
All druggists sell them at so cents for
full sized packages.
