Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as
they cannot reach the seat of the
disease. Catarrh is blood or con-
stitutional disease, and in order to
cure it you must take internal rene
dies. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, and acts directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces.
Halls Catarrh Cure is not quack
medicine. It was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in this
country for years and is regular
prescription. 1t is composed OF the
best tonics known, combined with
the best blood purifiers, acting di-
rectly on the mucous surfaces. The
perfect combination of the two in
gradients is what produces such
wonderful results in curing catarrh.

An article must have exceptional
merit to survive for period of
forty years. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy was first offered to the
public in 1872. From a small be-
ginning it has grown in favor and
popularity until it has attained a
worldwide reputation. You will
find nothing better for a cough or
cold. Try it and you will under
stand why it is a favorite after a
period of more than forty years. 1t
not only gives relief-it cures. For

ADRIANOPLE'S
FALL Is NEAR
Fortress Can Hold Out Only a
Little Longer.
BULGARS CAPTURE KEY FORT
Also Take 42o Prisoners After Stub
born Fight-Ottoman Commander
Asks For Aid.

London, March 13.-It Is expected
b Sofia that the Turkish fortress OF
Adrianople will be entered before to-
night by the Bulgarian and Servian
besiegers.
A private message states that the
Bulgarian troops captured Herantarta,
one of the "key forts" and took 42O
prisoners. The Turks resisted Stub
bornly.
A despairing cry of II can hold out
only a week longer" was sent in
cipher by wireless from Shukri Pasha,
the Turkish, commander of Adriano-
pie. to his superior officers in Constan-
tinople, according to unofficial reports.
Shukri Pasha, who has held out for
many months against the hundreds of
siege guns of the Bulgarians and Ser
vians, is said to have informed the
Porte in his message that Adrianople
is practically at the end of it's sup
plies of food and ammunition, while
there is much sickness, especially
scurvy and intestinal disorders. which
are ravaging the ranks Of the defend
ers.
The commander, who has offered
such a long and gallant defense, urges
either that peace negotiations be has
tened or that an immediate attempt to
relieve the city be undertaken from
the Tchatalja lines.
