State Fair officers.

In all the history of the two score
Minnesota state fairs, midwinter has
not found the preparation giving such
excellent promise of great and sue
cessful show as in this year of 1903.
Time was when the work of getting
up fair was not commenced until
about the first of May; but when the
board of managers held it's annual
meeting at the Merchants hotel, st.
Paul, a number of things already done
were ratified, while the rest of the
business of the session consisted
largely in arranging details.
President C. N. Cosgrove, who has
just been reelected, presided, and
First Vice-President B. +. Nelson,
Minneapolis; Second Vice-Prcsident C.
r. Smith, st. Paul, and J. NJ Under

brilliant man in his line as any
county in the state. Freeman Thorpe

New York, where he will paint por-

NEVER TOO LATE
To Trya Good Thing

I am fifty-two years old and for
forty years of that time | have been
a chronic catarrh sufferer, says Mr..
James Gieshing, of Allegheny City;
with every change of weather my heal
and throat would be stuffed up with
catarrhal mucus.
| could not breathe naturally
through the nostrils for months to
gether and much of the time | suf-
fered from catarrh of the stomach.
Finally my hearing began to fail and
I realized something must be done.
| tried inhalers and sprays and
salves which gave me temporary relief
and my physician advised me to spray
or douche with Peroxide of Hydrogen.
But the catarrh would speedily return
in few days and became thorough
ly discouraged.
| had always been prejudiced against
patent medicine, but as everything else
had failed felt justified in at least
making trial.
Our good old family physician, DR..
Ramsdell, laughed at me little, but
said II | was determined to try patent
medicines, he would advise me to be-
gin with Stuart's Catarrh Tablets be-
cause he knew what they contained
and he had heard of several remark
able cures resulting from their use,
and furthermore that they were per-
fectly safe containing no cocaine or
opiates. 80
The next day l bought fifty-cent
box at a drug store, carried it in my
pocket, and four or five times day
| would take a tablet in less than a
week | felt marked improvement
which continued, until at this time
am entirely free from any trace of
catarrh
My head is clear, my throat free
from irritation, my hearing is as good
as it ever was and | feel that | can
not say enough in praise of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets contain extract of
Eucalyptus bark, blood root and other
valuable antiseptics combined in
pleasant tablet form, and it is safe to
say that Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are
far superior in convenience, safety
and effectiveness to the antiquated
treatment by inhalers, sprays and
douches.
They are sold by druggists every
where in the United States and Can
ada.
