HAVE YOU ANY. OF THESE
Symptoms of a Very Common Trouble

Symptoms Of Very Common Iroto'e'
There is no disease so common In the
United States as catarrh because II APP
pears in so many forms and attacks SO
many different organs
1t is common mistake to suppose that
catarrh is confined to the nose and throat
Any inflammation of the mucous mem
brane wherever located accompanied by
abnormal secretions. is catarrh. Catarrh
of stomach or bladder, or intestines Is
nearly as common as nasal catarrh and
much more serious although it is true
that stomach catarrh and catarrh OF other
internal organs is the result of neglected
nasal catarrh.
A new remedy has recently appeared
which so far as tested seems to be re-
rrarkably effective in promptly curing
catarrh. wherever located The prepara-
ton is sold by druggists generally under
the name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets ana
in addition to being very palatabie ana
convenient, possesses extraordinary merit
IT. many cases giving immediate relief
from the coughing. hawking and constant
clearing of the throat and head, those
symptoms with which everyone is fami-
liar who has ever suffered from colds in
the head and throat
Catarrh is simply continuation OF
these symptoms until the trouble becomes
chronic and grows gradually worse from
yea rto year.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are composed
OF blood root, red gum and similar anti
septics and catarrh specifics, from which
it will be seen that no secret is made OF
the ingredients ard also that no mineral
poisons are used. as is the case with many
well known catarrh medicines.
For catarrh of the nose. throat. bron-
chial tubes. for catarrh of stomach. in
testines or bladder no preparation is so
safe and gives such rapid and permanent
results as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
All druggists sell them at sec for full
sized package. You can use them with
assurance that you viii not contract the
cocaine or morphine habit as the results
from this catarrh cure are apparent from
the first days use.
