CHANGE OF CLIMATE
Not Necessary in Order 10 Cure
Catarrh.

The popular idea that the only cure for
chronic catarrh Is change of climate
is a mistake because catarrh is found
In all climates in all sections of the coun-
try; and even If a change of climate
should benefit for a time the catarrh will
certainly return.
fCatarrh may be readily cured in any
climate, but the only way to do 1t is to
destroy or remove from the system the
catarrhal germs which cause all the mis-.
chief.
The treatment by inhalers, sprays
powders and washes has been proven al
most useless in making a permanent cure.
as they do not reach the seat of disease
which is in the blood and can be reached
only by an internal remedy which acts
through the stomach upon the blood and
system generally.
A new discovery which is meeting with
remarkable success In curing catarrh of
the head, throat and bronchial tubes and
also catarrh of the stomach, is sold by
druggists under name of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets.
These tablets which are pleasant and
harmless to take owe their efficiency to
the active medicinal principles of Blood
Root. Red Gum and a new specific called
Guaiacol. which together with valuable
antiseptics are combined in convenient,
palatable tablet form, and as valuable
for children as for adults.
Mr.. A. r. Fernbank Of Columbus,
Ohio, says: I suffered so many winters
from Catarrh that l took II as a matter
OF course. and that nothing would cure
it except a change of climate which my
business affairs would not permet me to
take.
My nostrils were almost always clogged
up; I had to breathe through the mouth
causing an inhamed, irritated throat. The
thought of eating breakfast often nause-
ated me and the cata-rh gradually get
ting into my stomach took away my APP
petite and digestion.
My druggist advised me to try a ATTY
cent box of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, he
cause he said he had so many customers
who had been cured of Catarrh by the
use of these tablets. that he felt he could
honestly recommend them. took his
advice and used several boxes with re-
suits that surprised and delighted me.
I ALWAYS keep a box Of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets ir the house and the whole family
use them freely on the first appearance
OF cough or cold in the head.
With our children we think there is
nothing so safe and reliable as Stuart &
Catarrh Tablets TO ward of Group and
colds and with older people have known
ously impaired by chronic catarrh cured
entirely by this new remedy.

losing the pastor, Rev. Ira w. Boswell,

from going to Port Gibson Miss, to
which place he has received call. At

will also join in the movement to keep
him here. 1t was thought at the time
he resigned that his resignation was
final. but through the efforts of this so
ciety, seconded by the entire church. it
is possible that he can be induced to re-
consider his resignation and remain here.

rates on coal hauled from the newly open
