REMARKABLE SUCCESS
OF a New Catarrh Cure.

A large and constantly increasing
majority of the American people are
|catarrh sufferers. This is not entirely
the result of our changeable climate,
but because modern investigation has
clearly proven that many diseases,
known by other names, are really ca
tarrh. Formerly the name catarrh
was applied almost exclusively to the
common nasal catarrh. but the throat,
stomach. liver, bladder, kidneys and
intestines are subject to catarrhal d.
seases as well as the nasal passages.
In fact. wherever there is mucous
membrane there is a feeding ground
for catarrh.
The usual remedies, inhalers, sprays,
douches or powders, have been practi-
cally failures, as far as anything more
than temporary relief was concerned,
because they simply dry up the mucous
secretions without having the remot-
est effect upon the blood and liver,
which are the real sources of catarrhal
diseases.
1t has been known for some years
that the radical cure of catarrh could
never come from local applications, but
from an internal remedy, acting on the
blood and expeling the catarrhal
poison from the system.
new internal preparation which
has been on the market only a short
time, has met with remarkable success
as genuine redical cure for catarrh.
1t may be found in any drug store,
sold under the name of Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets, large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, composed principally of anti
septic ingredients, Blood root Red gum
and similar catarrh specifics. 49,
DR.. Ainslee in speaking of the new
catarrh cure says. Il have tried the
new catarrh remedy. STARTS Catarrh
Tablets, UPON thirty or forty patients
with remarkably satisfactory results.
They clear the head and throat more
5nd lastingly than %any
douche or inhaler that I have ever
seen. and although they are what is
called patent medicine and sold by
l do not hesitate to recon-
mend them as know them to be free
from cocaine and opiates, and that
even little child may use them with
entire safety"
Any sufferer from nasal catarrh.
throat or bronchial trouble, catarrh OF
the stomach. liver or bladder will find
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets remarkably
effective pleasant and convenient.
and your druggist will tell you they are
absolutely free from any injurious
drug. jan13-l5-H

on the track. The passenger train was
drawn by two engines and these
crashed through the caboose and en-
CINE. The train had not attained it's

ENGLAND FILES A PROTEST.
Objects to Russian Torpedo Boat De-
stroyers on Black Sea.

Constantinople, Jan. 7.-Great Bri-
tain has vigorously protested to the
Turkish government against the per-
mission granted in September last
to four unarmed Russion torpedo boat
destroyers to pass through the Oar
danelles, into the Black sea, with the
commercial flag of Russia. These
vessels were about to start on the pros
posed trip.
The British note says the passage of
the Dardanelles by the torpedo boat
destroyers would be a violation of the
existing international treaties and
that if Russian wal ships are thus
allowed to use the Dardanelles the
British will reserve the right to de-
mand similar privileges.
The portest has caused irritation in
Russian circles and concern on the
part of the Turkish authorities, who
fear that other powers will follow
the example of Great Britain.

CONFERENCE ON TRUSTS.
President Invites Leaders to Visit
White House.

Washington, Jan. president
Roosevelt had a conference today
with Speaker Henderson and Repre-
sentative Grosvenor of Ohio with re-
gard to antitrust legislation. The
conference lasted for a considerable
time, the situation in the house be-
ing discussed. 1t is understood the
president impressed upon his callers,
who went to the executive offices at
his request, his desire that some legis-
lation dealing with the trusts should
be enacted at the present session.
No particular measure was under
discussion and, of course, none was
agreed upon.
THE trust question is a most diff
fcult n to handle in a general way"
said General Grosvenor, as he left the
executive Offices, "but l think some
measure will be enacted into law at
this session. 1t will be necessary to
steer a middle course between the
desires of the radical antitrust peo-
pie and those who profess to see little
evil in trusts or combinations of cap
ital.e That such a course will be
adopted by congress I have no doubt
1t is understood that during the
conference today the question of
bringing the subject of trusts to the
at an early date was considered, but
what conclusion, if any, a reached
is not known.
