IT'S IMPORTANT
TO Know What You Are Taking When
Using Catarrh Medicines.

Catarrh is the short route to consump-
tion, and the Importance of early and Judi
cious treatment Of catarrh, whether To-
Gated in the head throat or bronchia
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 con-
fusing, from sprays, inhalers, washes,
,otntments, and salves to powders, liuuids
and tablets >.
The tablet form is undoubtedly the
most convenient and NEST effective but
with nearly all advertised catarrh RENE
dies 1t is almost entirely 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 it a close
secret as to what they are. 81. .. p
The success and popularity Of the new
catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. is
largely because it; not only cures catarrh
but because catarrh sufferers who used
these tablets know what they are. TAX
ing into their systems. Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets being composed of Red Gum,
Blood Root and similar valuable and anti
septic ingredients, and are pleasant to
the taste and being dissolved in the mouth
they take immediate effect upon the mu-
cous lining of the throat. nasal passages
and whole respiratory tract. a.
!Ine cures that stuart s Catarrl. Tablets
have accomplished in old chronic cases of
catarrhl are little short of remarkable, and
the advantage Of knowing what you are
putting into your stoma CHI is; of paramount
Importance when it is remembered sthat
the cocaine or morphine habit has been
frequently contracted as the result OF
using secret catarrh remedies. .Fs.ss
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets meet with
cordial approval from physicians. because
their antiseptic character render them
perfectly safe for the general public to
use and their composition makes them a
commons sense cure for all forms sof
catarrhal troubles.
All druggists sell them at so cents for
full sized packages.

NEGOTIATIONS INTERRUPTED
Effort Has Been Made to Pay All the
FOREIGN Claims, -.

London, Dec. 13--As a result Of the
announcement that Venezuela has asked
United States Minister Bowen to act as
arbitrator in the controversy with Great
Britain and Germany, Senior Schetborgh,
Venezuelan consul here, last night said:
There being no longer any necessity
of secrecy with regard to the methods
adopted by Venezuela to effect settle
ment of all the foreign claims against
that country. the following facts can be
published: About six months ago. Presi-
dent Castro sent special ENJOYS to diff
ferent European cities, entrusted with
confidential mission having for its object
to ascertain the state Of feeling Of the
foreign creditors Of the Venezuelan re-
public and to try to arrive at a basis of
agreement for the consolidation and unfit
cation Of all Venezuela's foreign debt,
including the diplomatic claims. The
envoy who came to London was instructed
to associate himself with me; the other
ENJOYS were engaged In connection with
other claims against Venezuela, especial
ly those of Spain. France and Italy After
considerable negotiating in London and
on the continent a suggested plan Of set
tlement was arrived at. Subsequently
New York and one of the leading French
banking concerns, promised tentatively to
support the plan. In brief, these docu-
ments provided, as the executive is in
spired by earnest desire of coming to a
final settlement with all Venezuela's for
eign creditors, for the consolidation Of all
debts and claims into a unified loan, not
exceeding sS,000,000 to be known as the
Venezuelan unified 4 per cent loan Of 1902
I'm conjunction with this plan, an in
ternational bank under European con-
troll was to be established and interest on
the loan was to be guaranteed by the Gus
toms Fiscal agents appointed by this
bank were to be installed in all custom
houses and were themselves to collect the
interest on the loan. If at any time the
customs receipts proved insufficient to
meet this interest the government under
took to make good any deficiency out OF
the revenues.
1.-The final arrangements We're cabled
from London to President Castro and were
ready for presentation to the foreign
office pending President Castro's reply,
when the news Of the presentation Of the
ultimatum was received.
This plan by no means has been CIV
en- up although. Of course, all negotiations
to this end at present are at standstill."
