THEORIES ABOUT cArARRH.
Peculiar Ideas Regarding a Nccmrsn
Disease.

Mark Twains cure for a cold in the
head was simple. but he claims very
effective in his own case; his plan was
to eat nothing whatever for twenty
four hours or presumably until the
trouble had disappeared.
Although not able to speak from
personal expert nee as to the effective
ness Of this treatment, It certainly has
the merit of extreme economy. but &C.
occurs to us that the application Of it
to case Of nasal catarrh might be
attended with difficulties
Catarrh. as everyone knows. is q
chronic cold in the head and Mr.
Twain's treatment, ii It should be-
come fad. would make of us a ma
iion OF fasters; an army, emulating Che
example of the immortal Tanner VINO
achieved world wide fame 10y fasting
forty days
4 Catarrh is certainty becom.ng ma.
tional disease and there is little doubt
but that errors In diet particularly
over-eatng IS a very common cause
Most people, however. are more in
terested in the cure of the trouble than
in the cause, and modern medical
science has produced more effective
and less heroic remedies thea Mr.
Twain's.
Hydrastiu is new remedy very ef-
feotive in some forms Of catarrh Red
Gum is another which on account OF It's
antiseptic properties Is very va;io'te.
while many severe cases of Chronic
Catarrh have been entirety c-rol BY
the sanguinaria or extract OF BLOOD
root alone.
Within year an enterprising
chemist has combined ell of these
remedies in tablet form palatable and
convenient and the superiority Of this
tablet over other catarh remedies is SO
apparent that all druggists now carry
them in stock TO supply the popular
demand
They are called stuarts Catarrr
Tablets and it is doubtful if any medi
cine has achieved a national populari
ty in so short a time as this.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are USED
by thousands of travelling men because
they can be carried in the pocket ant
used any time and in any quantity
being free from Cocaine, opiate or an,

st. Louis commission men argued that the
people would demand game and fish during
the Worlds Fair. and IL it could not be
supplied in Missouri it would be shipped in
from Chicago or the East.
Senator Smith also spoke in favor of such
an amendment. However. the committee
did not promise the commission men any
provision allowing them a free hand in
dealing in colh-storage game and fish

Catarrh is a systemic disease, durable on

cures catarrh must aim directly at the
nerve centers. This is what Peruna does
Peruna Immediately invigorates the nerve
centers which give vitality to the mucous
membranes. Then catarrh disappears; then
1t is permanently cured.
If you do not derive prompt and satsfac-
