forms of catarrh, whether in the head throat, bronchial tubes, or in stomAc. and liver.
 The remedy is in tablet form, pleasan and convenient to take and no special s, crecy Is maintained as to what it con tains, the tablet being a scientific comb nation of Blood-root. Red gum and simi lar valuable and harmless antiseptics
 The safe and effective catarrh cure ma. be found at any drug store under tn name of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets.
 Whether the catarrh Is located in tn, nose, throat, bronchial tubes, or stomach the tablets seem to act with equal sue cess, removing the stuffy feeling in heal and nose, clearing the mucous membrane of throat and trachea from catarrhal SC cretions, which cause the tickling, cough ing hawking and gagging so annoying tc very catarrh sufferer.
 Nasal catarrh generally leads to ulcera- tion, in some cases to such an extent a. to destroy the nose entirely and in man. old cases of catarrh the bones of tn head become di seased. Nasal catarrf gradually extends to the throat and bronchial tubes and very often to tho stomach, causing that very obstinat' trouble, catarrh of the stomach.
 Catarrh Is a systemic poison, inherent in the blood, and local washes, d)uches alves, inhalers and sprays can have nc fleet on the real cause of the disease An internal remedy which acts upon tn blood is the only rational treatm' mt and Stuarts Catarrh Tablets Is the safest of all internal remedies, as we'll as the most convenient and satisfactory from a medical standpoint.
 Dr. Eaton recently stated that he had successfully used Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets in old chronic cases, even where ul ceration had extended so far as to de- ,troy the septum of the nose. He says T am pleasantly surprised almost every day by the excellent results from Stuart s Catarrh Tablets. It is remarkable how effectually they remove the excessive se- cretion and bring about a healthy condi- ton of the mucous membranes of the nose throat and stomach
 All druggists sell complete treatment of the Tablets at 50 cents and a little book giving the symptoms and causes of the various forms of catarrh, will be mailed free by addressing F. A. Stuart Co.,, Marshall, Mich. thu-sa-su
