Catarrh Tablets, the new catarrh cure, has met with such success that today
 it can be found in every drug store | throughout the United States and Can ada.
 To be sure large amount of advertis- ing was necessary in the first instance to bring the remedy to the attention of the public, but everyone familiar with the subject knows that advertising alone never made any article permanently suc- cessful. It must have in addition absolute, undeniable merit. and this the new ca tarrh cure certainly possesses in a marked degree.
 Physicians who formerly depended upon inhalers, sprays and local washes or oint- ments, now use Stuarts Catarrh Tab- lets because, as one of the most prom inent stated, these tablets contain in pleasant, convenient form all the really efficient catarrh remedies, such as red gum, blood root and similar antiseptics.
 They contain no cocaine nor opiate, and are given to little children with entire safety and benefit.
 Dr. J. J.. Reitiger of Covington, Ky, says: q suffered from catarrh in my head and throat every fall. with stoppage of the nose and irritation in the throat af- fecting my voice and often extending to the stomach causing catarrh of the stomach. I bought fifty cent package of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets at my drug gist's, carried them in my pocket and used them faithfully and the way in which they cleared my head and throat was certainly remarkable. I had no ca- tarrh last winter and spring and consider myself entirely free from any catarrhal trouble"
 Mrs Jerome Ellison of Wheeling, W. Va. writes: q suffered from catarrh nearly my whole life, and last winter my two children also suffered from catarrhal colds and sore throat so much they were out of school a large portion of the win | ter. My brother who was cured of ca
 tarrhal deafness by using Stuart's Ca
 tarrh Tablets urged me to try them so
 much that did so and am truly thank | ful for what they have done for my.
 self and my children. always keep 8 | box of the tablets in the house and al 1 the first appearance of a cold or sore | throat we nip 1t in the bud and catarrh | is no longer a household affliction with | us."
 Full sized packages of Stuart's Catarrt | Tablets are sold for fifty cents at all | druggists.
