THEORIES
ABOUT
CATARRAH
Peculiar Ideas Regarding a
Common Disease

Mark Twa.n's cure for q cold in the
head was simple, but he claims very
effective in his own case; his plan
was to eat nothing whatever for
twentyfour hours or presumably until
The trouble had disappeared.
Although not able to speak from
personal experience as to the effect
iveness of this treatmo lent, it certainly
has the merit of extreme economy,
but it occurs to us that the application
of 1t to a case of nasal catarrh might
be attended with difficulties.
Catarrh, as everyone knows, is
chronic cold in tho head, and Mr..
Twain's treatment if It should become
fad, would make us a nation Of
fasters; an army, emulating the ex-
ample of the immortal Tanner who
achieved world wide fame by fasting
forty days.
Catarrh is certainly becoming a ma.
tlonal disease and there 10 little doubt
but that errors in diet, particularly
overeating is a 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 Mr.,
Twain's.
Hydrastin Is a new remedy, very
effective in some forms of catarrh.
Red Gum is another which on account
of it's antiseptlc properties is very
valuable, while many severe cases OF
Chronic Catarrh have been entirely
cured by the sanguinarla or extract
of Blood root alone.
Within a year an enterprising chem
ist has combined all of these remedies
in tablet form, pelatable and conven
lent and the superiority Of this table
over other catarrh remedies Is so ap
parent that all druggists now carr,
them in STOCK to supply the popular
demand.
They are called Stuarts Catarrl
Tablets and 1t is doubtful II any medi
cine has achieved a national popular
ity in so short time as this.
suarts Catarrh Ttblets are use
by thousands OF travelling men becaus
they can be carried in the pock'
and used any time and in any quantit
being free from cocaine, opiate or an
poisonous drug.
They clear tho head and throa
from the disgusting secretlons OF CT
tarrh, very often in a few hours time
For nasal catarrh they arc far supei
ior TO any wash, lotion or ointment tn
use Of which is often as inconyenien
and annoying as the disease itself
For coughts colds. bronchial catarrI
and catarrh Of stomach these tablet
give immediate relief and a permanen
cure where lotions. douchos and In
halers make no impression whatever
This preparation is a boon 10 ca
tarrh sufferers and any druggist will
tell you that Stuart's Catarrh Tablet
Is a remedy that has come TO stay.

MARION
COUNTY
SALARIES
Discussed by a WOOdburn
Taxpayer
Valuations Of Property For
Assessment Purposes


Ed. Journal: In your issue of jan
uaTy 3lst / observe that the Marion
county delegation in the house favor
ably reported II. B. No. 60 re-adiusting
the salaries Of the Marion county on
GERS 1t is a very noticeable fact
that this bill for readjustment of sal
aries is entirely Overwhelmingly q
large increase--and an additional
burden to the already overtaxed tax
payers Of Marion county. Not a single
candidate for any Office in Marion
county would have dared to advocate
such bill for an increase Of salaries
during the past campaign. Dozens OF
competent men were defeated who
sought the nomination and election to
these lucrative offices in Marion coun-
ty. Therefore no apparent danger ex-
lists that on account OF the present
moderate and reasonable salaries the
Offices could not be properly filed
during the next campaign In 1904.
If this raise in salaries was contem-
plated during the late campaign why
not have discussed the matter tho
roughly before the voters during the
campaign for election? No candidate
before the people ventured to tread
upon such dangerous ground and
would have scorned the idea OF such a
proposition. Now that the Office Is
secured the next step is the betrayal
/ OF the people. Those who hold the
lucrative offices in Marion county will
take notice. That you can fool all the
taxpayers a part of the time, but you
surely cannot fool all the taxpayers

knows the amount OF the salary at
