Il have a little son who sings In a
boys choir In one Of our prominent
churches. and he is greatly troubled
with hoarseness and throat weakness,
and on my return home from trip I
gave him a few of the tablets one Sum
day morning when he had complained
|of hoarseness. He was delighted with
their effect, removing all huskiness in
la few minutes and making the voice
clear and strong.
"As the tablets are very pleasant TO
the taste. had no difficulty in per-
suading him to use them regularly.
Our family physician told US they
were an antisepctic preparation of I'M
doubted merit and that he himself had
no hesitation in using and recommend
ing Stuart's Catarrh Tablets for any
form Of catarrh.
Il have since met many public
speakers and professional singers who
used them constantly. A prominent
Detroit lawyer told me that Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets kept his throat IN fine
shape during the most trying weather,
and that he had long since discarded
the use Of cheap lozengers and troches
on the advice OF his physician that
they contained so much tolu, potash
and opium as to render their use q
danger to health"
Stuart,s Catarrh Tablets are large
pleasant tasting lozengers composed of
catarrhal antiseptfcs. like Red Gum,
Blood Root, etc. and sold by druggists
everywhere at 50 cents for full treat
ment.
They act upon the blood and mucous
and their composition and
remarkable success has won the APP
prevail Of physicians. as well as thou
