HAVE YOU ANY OF THESE

Symptoms of Very Common Trouble:
There is no disease so common in
the United States as catarrh because
it appears in so many different forms
and attacks so many different organs.
Ii is n common mistake to suppose
that catarrh is confined TO the nose
and throat. Any inflammation of the
mucous membrane wherever located.
accompanied by seeretions. is ca
tarrh. Catarrh of stomach or blad-
mon as nasal catarrh, and much more
serious, although it is true that stom-
ach catarrh and catarrh of other in
ternal organs is the result of neglect
ed nasal catarrh.
4 new remedy has recently appear
ed which so far as tested seems to be
remarkably effective in promptly cur
ing catarrh. wherever located. The
preparation is sold by druggists gem
orally under name of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets. and i'm addition to being very
palatabie and convenient, possesses
extraordinary merit in many cases
giving immediate relief from the
coughing, hawking and constant
clearing of the throat and head, those
symptoms with which everyone is fa-
miliar who has ever suffered from
colds in the head and throat.
Catarrh is simply continuation of
these symptoms until the trouble be-
comes chronic and grows gradually
worse from year TO year.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are com
posed of hydrastin, red gum and sim
liar antiseptics and catarrh specifics,
from which it will be seen that no
secret is made of the ingredients and
also that no mineral poisons are used,
as is the case with many weil-known
catarrh medicines.
For catarrh of the nose, throat,
bronchial tubes, for catarrh of stom-
ach, intestines or bladder no prepare
ton is so safe and gives such rapid
and permanent results as Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets.
All druggists sell them at 80 cents
for full sized package. You can use
them with assurance that you will
not contract the cocaine or morphine
habit, as the results from this ca
'tarrh cure are apparent from the
first days use.

Charleston. Ills. Nov. 4.-The acting
general superintendent of the free ru-
raj mail system has handed down a
decision which will be of interest to
all people living on the free rural
routes. Heretofore the patrons of the
rural routes were unable tosecure their
mail which arrived after the carriers

the delivery Monday merning.
Convenience to Patrons.
recently patrons living on the routes
out of Charleston called at the postof-
dee on Sunday and asked for their
nail. stating that they would have to
wait till Monday for the same if it was
not delivered ut the windows. The
postmaster said il was not his bust
ness to deliver rural route mail at
the windows of the postofiice. The mat
ter. however. was taken UP by the pa
irons of the rural routes. and the SUI
pcrintendcnt of the system has ruled
that the mail must he delivered at the

Why PhysicianS
Fail to Cure.

The reason that physicians have
failed TO cure in the past is because
they have not understood the true
cause OF disease. They have en-
ptrically given remedies because they
have been told by others or have read
in medical works that such and such
a remedy was good for such and such
q diEease. This is a theory based on
n wrong foundation. All disease il
