A NEW DEPARTURE.
A New, EHectuaI and Convenient Cure
For catarrh.

or catarrh remedies. there Is no
end. but of catarrh cures. there has
always been a great scarcity. There
are many remedies to relieve. but very
few that really cure.
The old practice of snuning salt
water through the nose would often
relieve and the washes, douches, pow.
ders. and enhalers in common use
are very little. II any, better than
old fashioned salt water douche.
The use Of inhalers and the sppli.
cation Of salyes. washes and powders
to the nose and throat to cure catarrh
is no more reasonable than to rub the
back to cure kidney disease. Catarrh
is just as much a blood disease as
kidney trouble or rheumatism and it
cannot be cured by local treatment
any more than they can be.
To cure catarrh whether in the
head, throat or stomach an internal
antiseptic treatment is necessary to
drive the catarrhal poison out of the
blood and system. and the new catarrh
cure is designed on this Elan and the
remarkable success of Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets is because being used
internally. it drives out catarrhal in
fection through action upon stomach,

Wm. Zimmerman Of ST. Joseph. re-
lates an experience with catarrh which
is of value to millions of catarrh suf-
ferers everywhere. He says: Il neg.
