HAVE HAD THEIR DAY.
Old Fashioned Medicines For catarrIl
No Longer In Vogue.

For many years past the usual treat
ment for catarrh diseases was with
local douches. sprays, inhaIers and
liquid medicines composed principally
Of alcohol, all of which never cured
but simply give the temporary relief
and stimulation.
A thorough cure can be made only by
the treatment which removes the ca
tarrhal poisons from the blood.
A new remedy which meets the re-
quirements and which SO far has been
remarkably successful in curing ca
tarrh is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
These tablets act upon the blood and
mucous membrane only.
They can hardly be classed as a
secret patent medicine as they are
composed of such valuable remedies
as blood root, Hydrastin, red gum Of
Eucalyptus tree and similar antisep-
tics combined in tablet form, which
cure by eliminating from the blood and
mucous membrane the poisons of ca
tarrh.
stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large,
pleasant tasting Iozenges to be taken
internally. allowing them to dissolve
in the mouth. thus reaching the throat
trachea and finally the stomach
If desired they may also be dissolved
in water and used as a douche, in addi-
ton to the internal use, but it is not
at all necessary to use a douche; a few
Of them dissolved in the mouth daily
will be sufficient. However, when there
is much stoppage Of the nose a douche
made from these tablets will give i'm
mediate relief. but the regular daily use
internally will cure the whole catarrhal
trouble without resorting to the in
convenience of douche.
DR.. Bennett stated that the internal
treatment of catarrh by means Of
pleasant medicated tablets is rapidly
taking the place of douches and local
applications and further says that
probably the best and certainly the
safest remedy at present on the mar
ket is the Stuarts CatarTh Tablets. as
no secret is made OF their composition
and all the really efficient catarrh rem
edies are concentrated in this tablet

STORY OF A STAMP
Worth . Quarter, Then $1,000, Then
Went Up In Smoke.

worth q Quarter, Then $1,000, Thon
Went Up In Smoke.
In the year 1851 a 12-penny black
Canadian postage stamp was printed
by the government at Ottawa. The
public did not regard this somber IS
sue with favor, and few were issued.
One OF these stamps was sent to the
Hamilton p~ostofice, where it was sold
to an old man, who said It was a
shame to print the queens picture on
a stamp that might be handled by pro-
fame hands. Tenderly the man put II
on a parcel. sending it to 4 friend In
the United States. Here, in the waste
basket, it lay for many a day, till an
errand boy found it and qickly trans
ferred it to his album. Despairing of
getting a good collection, and his f.
yer somewhat abating, he sold them to
a dealer. The new dealer, on looking
at the catalogue, found that what he
had paid S. for was worth SIS. Acct
dentally this stamp was slipped into
a 25-cent packet and sent to a dealer
residing in Hamilton. When the lat
ter opened the packet he was aston
ished to find such a valuable stamp.
and, being honest, wrote his friend to
inform him Of what had happened, Of
fering him $1,000 for it. The offer was
accepted, and the stamp again changed
hands. BY this time the stamp had
increased in value, and not a few came
from a distance to look at the treas
ure. One day an English nobIeman
who, through a friend, had heard of
the stamp, offered $500, which offer
was accepted. The English lord, falls
ing in love with an American heiress.
and wishing to gain the favor Of her
brother, presented him with the stamp
as a token Of his esteem. Here, in It's
new and luxurious home, 1t came to a
sad end, for one day the maid by
mistake swept the stamp, which had
accidentally fallen out OF the album,
into the fire. In an instant the STAMP
which thousands had heard OF and
longed for, went up in smoke to the
broad, blue sky, leaving not a trace
behind.
