MACHINE THAT ALMOST THINKS
Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication
and Division Equally Easy.

Mr.. A. c. Schuman has been granted
patents on an adding machine that COM

more than local distinction bY his Inven-

With the aid OF full-slzed model Mr.
Schuman gave a denomination OF HE

WILL INTEREST EVERYBODY.
Or At Least Everyone Who Suffers
From Catarrh.

Catarrh in its various forms is a ma
tional disease, and the fact that near
ly everybody suffers from it more or
less leads many TO neglect its proper
treatment.
Nasal catarrh is a common cause of
headaches, destroys sense Of smell and
if neglected reaches the throat causing
impairment and sometimes total loss
of voice. Bronchial catarrh leads easily
to consumption. Catarrh of stomach
and liver are very serious and obstinate
troubles, while it is now generally ad-
mitted that catarrh is the most COM
mon of all causes of deafness.
All of the more serious forms of ca
tarrh begin with nasal cRtarrh. the
local symptoms being a profuse dis
charge. stoppage of nostrils, Irritation
and frequent clearing of the throat,
sneeZing, coughing and gagging.
The old style of treatment with
douches, inhaIers, sprays. saves, etc,
simply give temporary relief and every
one who has used any of them knows
how useless they are and their incon-
venience is such that very few have
the time or patience TO continue their
use.
A radical cure of catarrh can only be
obtained from a treatment which re-
blood because no one will now dispute
that cetarrh is a constitutional or blood
disease. and local applications can
have no effect except TO temporarily
relieve local symptoms.
A new remedy which has been re-
markably successful in curing catarrh
is a pleasant tasting tablet which is
taken internally and acts upon the
blood and mucous membranes.
Ii is composed of antiseptic remedies
like Red Gum. Blood Root and similar
cleansing specifics which eliminate the
catarrhal poison from the system.
The tablets being pleasant to the
taste are dissolved in the mouth and
thus reach the throat. trachea and
finally the stomach and entire ali
mentary canal. They are sold by drug
gists everywhere under the name Of
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
If desired. when there Is much stop

London. Oct. $50 bitter has become

some of his supporters. who regard their
peace Of mind as superior TO political con-
sideratiOns which involve rowdyism, Pre-

closure with a stronger hand than he has
