A NEW DEPARTURE.
A New, Effcctual and Convenient Cure
For Catarrh.

Of Catarrh remedies, there is no end,
but of catarrh cures, there has always
been great scarcity. There are many
remedies to relieve, but very few that
really cure.
The old practice of snuffing salt wa
ter through the nose would often re-
lieve, and the washes, douches, powders
and enhalers in common use are very
little, if any, better than the old fash
ioned salt water douche.
The use of inhalers and the appli-
cation of salves, washes and powders to
the nose and throat to cure cararrh 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 antisep-
tic treatment is necessary to drive the
catarrhal poison out of the blood and
system, and the new catarrh cure is
designed on this plan and the remark
able success of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
.ets is because being used internally it
drives out catarrhal infection through
faction upon stomach, liver and bowels
VIM. Zimmerman of ST. Joseph, re-
lates an experience with catarrh which
is of value to millions of catarrh suffer-
lers everymhere. He says: Il neglected
| a slight nasal catarrh until it adually
| ieNtended TO my throat and bronchial
tubes and finally aven fisg stomach and
| liver became effected. but as was able
TO keep up ard do days work I let it
run along until my hearing began to
fail me and then l realized that l must
get rid of catarrh or lose my position
as l was CLERK and my hearing was alb
soluteiy necessary.
Some of my friends recommended an
inhaler. another a catarrh saIve but
they We're no good in my case. nor was
anything else until l heard of Stuart
CatarTh Tablets and bought a package
at my drug store. They benefited me
from the start and in less than -four
months | Was completely cured of ca.
tarrh although l had suffered nearly all
my life from it.
They are pleasant to take and s,
much more convenient to use thar
other catarrh remedies that I feel l car
not say enough in favor of Stuart.
