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
remedies We're used with greater sue
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, Red
Gum, Blood Root etc., which kill the
catarrh germs in the blood and mucous
membrane, and in this respect are
strictly scientific and modern, because
all authorities are now agreed that
catarrh is a constitutional blood dis
ease, and local applications can have
only q transitory effect.
The use of inhalers, douches and
sprays is a nuisance and inconvenience
and can in no wise compare favorably
with the same antiseptics given in tab
let form internally, where they can
reach the stomach and blood and kill
catarrh germs right where they are
produced
A prominent lawyer and public
speaker of Pittsburg says: II have been
troubled with catarrh of the head and
throat for twelve years. In this eli
mate it seems impossible to get rid of
1t. The continual dropping of mucus
from the nose into the throat caused
irritation and hoarseness, seriously in
terfering with my public speaking. 1T
took me an hour or more Of coughing,
gagging, eXpectorating and sneezing
every morning before / could settle
down to work and this condition grad
ually brought OH catarrh of stomach,
causing loss of appetite, poor digestion
and q foul breath, which annoyed me
exceedingly. My physician advised me
to try Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and 1
took them for two months and was
astonished to find how quickly they
cleared my head, throat and stomach
and have no hesitation in recommend
ing them. They are not only pleasant
to take, but they seem to get at the
very root of the trouble, because since
using them I have had no trace of
catarrh.
Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's at 90 cents for full size package.
They can be carried in the pocket
and used any time as often as de-
sired since they contain no cocaine,
mercury or any other injurious drug.

STORIES OF THE STREET,
A Man From Herrick Comes to Town
and Meets Carbondale Jokers--A
Municipal Water Story.

He was from Herrlck Centre. Her

Uniondale is my town"
This Herrick Centre man came into
one of the Carbondale hotels the other
day and fell into the hands of several
of the towns jokers. lie had u "Lafe"
Smith beard, q pair of buckskin gloves
and II red handkerchief was his muf-
fer. Say" came the "Lafe" Smith
whisper, there haint a man here by
the name of Michael; he's from South
Gibson, and l wouldn't mind seen
him."
Michael, did you say2' asked the
"kdder" of the crowd. II know him.;
he's broker from South Gibson, isn't
he? You'll find him at the Peddler's
Rest, round the corner"
Broker" asked the Herrick Centre
man with a thoughtful look Broker;
now 1 don't know, but / know he's got
lame leg
Say" said the "kidder," when the
laugh subsided, do you believe Mars
is inhabited?"
"Now, 1 can't just say as to that,
but did read in the weekly that some
man was trying TO talk to the folks
UP there
Sure" continued the "kidder," they
signal to Mars every day now. You
see they have flag as big as the state
of Pennsylvania and 4 pole about two
thousand miles high: they built the
pole like they do ice machines, right
up in the air."
BY this time the Herrck Centre
Uniondule man was what Chuck
Connors would call "all in He got
up from his seat and looked around
for II place to put his packages.
Put them in the stove,' said the
'Ilider" nobody will touch them
there"
He left then and the last heard of
him was in inquirng for the "Fiddler's
Rest"
This is 'municipal' water story.
Besides being Il fertile topic Of discus
sion and the cause of divers opinions,
the municipal water project has fur
nshed many a good story.
One of the best of these stories is told
of West Side resident, n witty son of
Erin, who is heart and soul in the
movement. So much SO is he in earnest
that everybody who is not shouting
free water is according to his opinion
is "agin" the movement. He was one of
the witnesses called by the city to
prove that the water furnished West
Side residents was not up to the stand
ard.
Tell the court, please, your opinion
as to the water you have TO drink?'
Your honor" said the West Slider,
his rich brogue filling the court room.
