THEORIES ABOUT cATARRH.
Peculiar Ideas Regarding Common
 Disease.

Mark Twains cure for a cold In the head was simple, but he claims very ef- fective 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 per- sonal experience as to the effectiveness of this treatment, 1t certainly has the merit of extreme economy, but 1t occurs to us that the application of 1t to a case of nasal catarrh might be attended with difficulties.
 Catarrh, as everyone knows is a chronic cold In the head and Mir. Twain's treat ment, If 1t should become fad, would make of us nation of fasters, an army, emulating the example of the immortal Tanner who achieved world d-wide fame by fasting forty days.
 Catarrh is certainly becoming a national disease and there is little doubt but that errors in diet, particularly over-eating, is a very common cause.
 Most people however. are more inter ested In the cure of the trouble than in the cause. and modern medical science has produced more effective and less heroic remedies than MT. Twain's.
 Hydrastin is a new remedy, very effec. tive in some forms of Catarrh. Red Gum Is another which on account of It's anti septic properties is very valuable, while many severe cases of Chronic Catarrh have been entirely cured by the sanguin- aria or extract of Blood Root alone.
 Within year an enterprising chem- ist has combined all of these remedies in tablet form, palatabie and convenient, and the superiority of this tablet over other catarrh remedies Is so apparent that all druggists now carry them in stock to supply the popular demand.
 They are called Stuarts Catarrh Tab- lets and 1t Is doubtful if any medicine has achieved a national popularity in so short time as this.
 Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are used by thousands of travelling men because they can be carried in the pocket and used any time and in any quantity, being free from cocaine, opiate or any poisonous drug.
 They clear the head and throat from the disgusting secretions of catarrh, very often in few hours time.
 For nasal Catarrh they are far superior to any wash, lotion or ointment, the use of which is often as inconvenient and an- moving as the disease itself.
 For coughs, colds. bronchial catarrh and catarrh of stomach these tablets give immediate relief and a permanent cure where lotions, douches and inhalers make no impression whatever.
 sufferers. aI/ any druggist will tell you that Stuarts Catarrh Tablets Is a remedy that has come to stay.

ELVIC catarrh is almost new N term In medical literature. Dr
 Hartman was the flIst physician in this country who used the term, but through his writings he has made 1t a familiar phrase to nearly the whole of the civilized world.
 Before it was discovered that the aii- ments of women depended chiefly on ca tarrh of the pelvic organs these cases were regarded as lncurable. Now, thou sands are cured every year The same disease that once seemed beyond the reach of man are promptly and perma- nently cured by Peruna.
 Peruna cures catarrh, whether of the pelvic organs or any other organ of the human. body.

the people of Alabama on the result of the wisdom and courage of the members of the last constitutional convention-the emancipation of our state from the ig- norant corrupt and corrupting vote of many of those made voters by federal domination.
 The change in our original law was in- tended to promote the general welfare of all the people of Alabama. And it is con- fldently expected and believed the change will secure peace, good order and good government. and will greatly improve the condition of the people of Alabama, of both races, morally, materially and in real education.
 The good people of Alabama, full of faith in the wisdom and patriotism of their representatives, sent by them to exercise their sovereign power: and that you will put this new organic law in force, not merely according to that which Is right in your own eyes, but according to that which is right under the law of the Master.

Tonight the theatre was packed from pit to dome and addresses were made by James B. Graham, state agent of the southern educational board, and Dr. Aide man, president of Tulane university.

He did not ques- tion MT.

 "l am anxious to show my gratitude for what Peruna has done for me, and hope thIs will reach the eyes of some woman who has suffered as 1 did. For three years l had intense pain regular ly every month with cramps and head ache. At such times was hardly able to be about and felt very weak and worn out. l tried a much advertised remedy but found that it gave me no relief, when visitor advised mo to try Peruna, telling me how 1t had cured her of a similar trouble. ] have so often since thanked her for calling my attention to 1t for 1t is certainly a blessed medicine for sick women. AL most from the first day 1 felt better and within five weeks l had added nine pounds to my weight and 1t seemed l never felt better in my life. l have en- joyed the best of health since and gladly endorse Peruna for can thank 1t for my good physical conditlon."- Ella M. MoreIand.
 A Physicians Endorsement.
 Dr. M. c. Gee Is one of the physicians who endorse Peruna. Tn a letter written from 5l3 Jones street, San Francisco, Cal. he says:
 There Is a general objection on the part of the practicing physician to ad- vocate patent medicines. But when any enc medicine cures hundreds of people, it dent. nstrates it's own value and does not ;,eed the endorsement of the profess sien.
 Fortuna has performed so many won- dsrfu cures in San Francisco that I am convinced that 1t is Q valuable remedy. 1 have frequently advised its use for wo- men, as I find 1t insures regular and pain less menstruaton, cures leuchorrhoea and ovarian troubles and buiids up the en- tire system I also consider it one of the finest catarrh remedies I know of heartily endorse your medicine" M. c.
