HAVE HAD THEIR DAY.
Old Fashioned Medicines For Catarrh
No longer In Vogue.

For many years past the usual treat
ment for catarrh diseases was with local
douches. sprays, inhalers and liquid medi-
cines 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 catar-
rhal poisons from the blood.
new remedy which meets the require
ments and which so far has been remark
ably successful in curing catarrh is Stu
arts 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, Hy-
drastin, red gum of Eucalyptus tree and
similar antiseptcs combined in tablet
form, which cure by eliminating from the
blood and mucous membrane the poisons
OF catarrh.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large,
pleasant tasting lozenges to be taken in
ternally. allowing them to dissolve in
the mouth, thus reaching the throat,
trachea and finally the stomach.
II desired they may also be dissolved
In water and used as a douche, in addi-
tion to the internal use. but 1t Is not at
all necessary to use douche a few Of
be sufficient. However when there is
much stoppage of the nose douche made
from these tablets will give immediate
relief, but the regular daily use internally
will cure the whole catarrhal trouble
without resorting to the Inconvenience
of douche.
Or. Bennett stated that the Internal
! treatment Of catarrh by means of pleas
ant medicated tablets Is rapidly taking
the place of douches and local applica-
tions." and further says that probably
the best and certainly the safest remedy
at present on the market is the Stnart's
Catarrh Tablets. as no secret IL made of
their composition and all the really ef-
hcent catsrrh remedies are concentrated
in this tablet"
Druggists sell stuart's Catarrh Tablets
at 30 cents for full sized package and
he will tell you there II no safer, more
palatable. efficient and convenient ca

Personnel.
The men Interested in the local con-
Germ are +. S. Paul c. D. Thomas and
]. b. Griffin. They claim their factory is
the only one in the world in which all the
men employed wear artificial legs.
Manufactured legs vary in price, but
the best ones, made OF thoroughly dried
English willow and leather, cost about
300 each.
A story is told of a man wearing an
artificial leg who had the leg run over
by a street car in Chicago. OF course, no
one knew It was not the real article, and
the injured man, who was fond of joke,
allowed himself to be carried to the hos-
pltal in an ambulance and did not pro-
test until the doctors were preparing to
amputate the injured member.
Artificial legs are made SO that the low
err part has all the action of the human
foot and are made to wear the same size
shoe as the opposite foot. The shoe on
the real foot will wear out in half the
time of the other one which Is said to be
due to the heat of the real member.
Extensive Business.
The business Of the Birmingham Arti-
fetal Limb company extends all over the
south and the proprietors expect to turn
out two hundred legs this year. They re-

as to break his back. BY constructing
a device which throws the weight of the

The fact that the company makes satls-
factory limbs is shown by a window dis

SOME CURIOUS FEATURES

Birmingham, like every other prosper
GUS city of Industrial and railroad i'm
portance. has a large number Of acct
dents in which human beings are manned
and lose one or more limbs.
1t is natural then, that factory man.
ufacturing artificial limbs and arms has
all the work 1t can turn out. The Biz
mIngham Artificial Limb company is the
only concern of its kind in the south with
the exception of one at New Orleans.
The process of manufacturing artificial
limbs is interesting. In the first place
every man employed in the local plant,
as well as the proprietor, wear artificial
legs.
Usually when man or woman has had
an accident which necessitates amputa-
ton of limb, It IS a very tender sub
ject and such people are extremely sensi-
tive about having to wear an artificial
member. But the men at the above local
plant are entirely different. They say
they like to have 1t known, for 1t helps
business. No one would ever know they
did not walk on the legs nature gave
them unless he were told otherwise.
Great Joker.
F. S. Paul, of the company, is a great
joker. lie likes to meet stranger ana

making a few passes with his hands ana

Most people who wear artificial legs
are too sensitive on the subject TO per-
form any such tricks as that.
II Is contrary to leg makers etiquette
to ask a purchaser how he lost his leg.
II is considered as great an offense as
slapping a man; for nine out Of ten Of
them do not want to talk on the subject.
Perfectly Made.
Legs and arms are made perfectly
these days that it is hard to tell who
wears them There are two hundred peo-
pie In Birmingham and vicinity wearing
artificial limbs. and about twenty-five OF
them are women. Some of them ire loco
motive engineers. some Of them conduc-
tors, some professional men and others
are engaged in various business pursuits.
They can walk almost perfectly. ana
some of them have records as runners.
