Is "PETE" CRAZY.
Old Fire Horse Believed Insane
from Fracture of ScuI.

Old Fire Horse Believed Insane
from Fracture of ScuIl.
Pete" the fire horse from the head
quarters, which was injured by Slip
ping and falling near the corner of
Broughton and Bull streets several
weeks ago while being driven to an
alarm of fire. is proving quite a puzzle
to the veterinary treating him, and
though he has apparently recovered it
is believed that the horse is crazy.
1t will be remembered that "Pete's"
skull was fractured and that portions
of the bone were removed. This one
fact units him for fire duty again
though he is large and fat. Pete"
while still gentle, has forgotten all of
the many tricks and amusing things he
used to do and pays no attention to his
old associates among the firemen. In
other ways he acts entirely different
from formerly which leads the surgeon
treating him to believe his mind has
been crazed. He has informed Chief
Mcguire that in the future no charge
for the care of the horse will be made
except that the city furnish his feed.
This the chief readily agreed to do in
pay for the long and faithful service
Pete" has rendered the city The
veterinary will keep the horse in his
care and intends to study his con-
dition to determine whether or not he
is insane.

WORTH KNOWING
At Thi. Season of the Year.

ANY cough accompanied by expec-
toration which lasts over three or four
days requires attention and treat
ment. this does not mean a visit 70
the hospital. nor to your physician
nor wholesale drugging with patent
medicines; but it means that some
simple, harmless effective antispetic
remedy like Stuart's CatarTh Tablets
should be used TO ward off any pos
sible termination in Pneumonia. Chron-
ic Catarrh. Bronchitis or Consump-
ton.
All Of these formidable diseases start
from a common cold neglected or al
lowed 10 run its course and il Is only
the exercise of common every day eau
ton to cure a cold as quickly as pos
sible. not so much for what it is at
the moment, but what it may become
II neglected.
Perhaps no remedy is so safe, reli-
able and convenient to stop d cold or
obstinate cough as Stuart's Catarrah
Tablets.
The extract Of blood root contained
in them combined with the red gum
of the Eucalyptus tree seem to put
the mucous membrane of the nose,
mouth and throat in a condition to
throw off the germs of catarrh. bron-
chitis and consumption, and as they
are taken internally they seem to
equalize the circulation and place the
body in that condition of health which
resists and throws off the germs of
disease.
A person in perfect health rarely
catches cold. and if he does. throws
il off in "A day or two, but, where the
cold hangs on stopping up the nos
trils, irritating the throat or there is
persistent annoying cough II is evil
dent that the system for some reason
is unable to throw off the disease
germs which cause the trouble; a lit
tie assistance is necessary, and this
is best given by the use of some harm
less germ destroying antiseptic like
Stuarts CataIrh Tablets which are
also palatable and equally so for chill
dren and adults.
Druggists sell these tablets at so
cents full sized package, higher IN
price than troches and cheap cough
syrups, but Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
contain antiseptic properties which
actually cure colds, catarrh and throat
and lung troubles while it is a motor
ious fact that cough drops and cough
syrups are largely composed of opium,
cocaine and similar drugs that have
no curative power.
1t is also true that many popular
liquid medicines and tonics for catarrh
depend upon the alcohol they contain
which give simply a temporary stimu-
lation of no real benefit for any
trouble catarrhal or otherwise.
