AN IDEAL MEDICINE.
A New Discovery Which Cures All
Forms of Catarrn.

The tablet is the ideal form in which
to administer medicine, but until re-
Gently no successful catarrh tablet had
ever been attempted. There is now
however, an excellent and palatable
remedy for catarrh in tablet form,
known as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and
sold by druggists, composed of the most
recent discoveries in medicine for cure
of catarrh and results from their use
have been highly gratifying.
The old time treatment of catarrh was
in the form of inhalers, washes,
douches, sprays, etc. Later on internal
cess, but being in liquid or powder form
were inconVenient to use and like all
medicines in liquid or powder form, lose
their medicinal properties when opened
or exposed to the air.
StuartS Catarrh Tablets, contain
highly concentrated antiseptics, Hy-
drastin, Blood root and Red gum which
kill the catarrh germs in the blood and
mucous membrane. and in this respect
are strictly scientific and modern, be-
cause all authorities are now agreed that
catarrh is a constitutional blood dis
ease, and local applications can have
only transitOry effect
The use of inhalers, douches and
sprays is nuisance and inconvenience
and can in DO wise compare favorably
with the same antiseptics given in tab
let form internally. where they can
reach the stomach and blood and kill
oatarrh germs right where they are
produced.
A prominent lawyer and public speak
er of Pittsburg says: Il have been
troubled with catarrh of the head and
throat for twelve years In this climate
it seems impossible to get rid of it. The
continual dropping of mucous from the
nose into the throat caused Irritation
and hoarseness, seriously interfering
with my public speaking. 1t took me
an hour or more of coughing, gagging,
expectoratirg and sneezing every morn
ing before I could settle down to work
and this condition gradually brought on
catarrh of stomach. causing loss of
appetite. poor digestion and foul
breath, which annoyed me exceedingly.
My physician advised me to try Stu2rt's
Catarrh Tablets and I took them for
two months and was astonished to find
how quickly they cleared my head,
throat and stomach and 1 have no hest
tation in recommending them. They
are not only pleasant to take, but they
Seem to get at the very root of the
trouble. because since using them have
had no trace of catarrh."
Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets at so cents for full sized package
They can be carried in the pocket and
used any time and as often as desired
since they contain no cocaine, mercury

Three MOnarchs to Meet in Eng
land in November.

London Oct. 25.-Emperor William will
arrive in England November 8, and by
that time it is expected King Carlos OF
Portugal also will be guest of King
Edward. There is every reason to be-
lieve that the meetings of the three mon
archs will result in important interna-
tional undertakings especially as re-
CARDS South Africa and more particu-
larly Delagoa bay, which is so vitality
important to Great Britain as an outlet
for her newly acquired colonies The
Portuguese government appears willing
to transfer some portions of it's South
African territory to British rule. Ger
many, however, is understood to be
strenuously opposed to British trade Sc
curing such an advantage, at any rate
unless Portugal is willing to placate
Germany by granting her some similar
concession, and it is believed that be
fore the emperor and King Carlos leave
England a bargain will be arranged.
