NO ARGUMENT NEEDED.
Every Sufferer from Catarrh Knows that
SaIVes, Lotions, Washes, Sprays and
Douches Do Not Cure.

Powders, lotions salves, sprays and in
halerS cannot really cure Catarrh because
this diSeaSe-iS a blood disease, and local
applications, if they accomplish anything
at all, simply give transient relief.
The catarrhal poison is in the blood and
the mucous membrane of the nose, throat
and trachea tries to relieve the system
by secreting large quantities Of mucus,
the discharge sometimes closing up the
nostrlls, dropping into the throat, caus-
ing deafness by closing the Eustachian
tubes, and after a time causing catarrh
OF stomach or serious throat and lung
troubles.
be an internal remedy which will cleanse
the blood from catarrhal poison and re-
move the fever and congestion from the
mucous membrane.
The best and most modern remedies for
this purpose are antiseptics scientifically
known as Red Gum, Blood Root and Hy-
been successfully used separately vet it
has been difficult to get them all combin-
ed in one palatable, convenient and eff
ficient form.
The manufacturers of the new catarrh
cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, have
succeeded admirably in accomplishing this
result. They are large pleasant tasting
Iozenges, TO be dissolved in the mouth,
thus reaching every part of the mucous
membrane OF the throat and finally the
stomach.
Catarrh Tablets contain no cocaine, OPT
ate or any injurious drug whatever and
are equally beneficial for little children
and adults.
Mr.. G. r. Rembrandt, of Rochester, N.
Y. says: Il know Of few people who have
suffered as much as 1 from Catarrh of the
head, throat and stomach / used sprays.
inhalers and powders for months at a time
with only slight relief and had no hope
of cure. / had not the means to make
charge of climate, which seemed my
only chance of cure.
Last spring read an account of some
remarkable cures made by Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets and promptly bought fifty
cent box from my druggist and obtained
such positive benefit from that one pack
age that I continued to use them daily
until now consider myself entirely free
from the disgusting annoyance of catarrh;
my head is clear, my digestion all could
ask and my hearing which had begun to
fail as result of the catarrh, has great
ly improved until feel I can hear as well
as ever. They are a household necessity
In my family
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by
druggists at so cents for complete treat
ment and for convenience. safety and
prompt results they are undoubtedly the
long looked for catarrh cure.
