The Principal Asset of the Success
 full Business Man.

The head of the largest meat packing industry in the world, for many years prior to his death. never travelled without his physician; everywhere he was accom- panied by his medical adviser; he hired him for his exclusive attendance by the year and considered the large salary paid for such service as part of his business investment. He did not do this because he was a hypochondriac, in constant fear of illness and death; on the contrary he was an exceptionally robust man, but he realized that the principal asset In his enrmous business was his own personal health, and to keep physically and man tally well and strong was a business proposition, pure and simple.
 It is so with every business man and woman. A slight cold in the head or throat may pass off in a few days. or 1t may develop into Pneumonia, Chronic Catarrh or an irritating throat trouble in any event It's departure should be has, tened by some simple aatiseptic prepara- ton like 6tuart's Catarrh Tablets. which are dissolved in the mouth and thus reach and destroy the germs of Catarrh, Pneu- monia. Consumption. before they have a chance to propagate and thrive in e the inflamed mucous membranes of the nose and throat.
 To burden the stomach with drugs and stimulants is a foolish and often danger -ous way to combat cold, because stimu- lants are always followed by correspond ing depression and where there ia any tendency to Pneumonia increases the dan. ger by increasing She hearts action,

Throat irritation made 1t difficult for me to read or speak and conduct my classes.
