WILL INTEREST EVERYBODY
Or at Least Everyone Who Suffers from
Catarrh
aturrh In Its various forms Is a National
disease and the fact Unit nearly everybody
suffers from It more or less leads uiauy to
neglect Its proper treatment
Nasal catarrh Is n common cause of head-
aches demroys sense of smell nnd If neg-
lected reaches the throat causing Impair-
ment and sometimes total loss of voIcp
Bronchial catarrh leads easily to consump-
tion Catarrh of stomach and liver are very
serious slid obstinate troubles while It Is
now generally admitted that catarrh Is the
most common of all causes of deafness
All of tho more serious forms of catarrh
begin with nasal catarrh the local symp-
toms being n profuse dlsrhnrge stoppage
of nostrils Irritation and frenueut clearing
of the throat sneezing coughing and gng
gluif
The old style of treatment wlth douches
Itihalers sprays salves etc simply give
temporary relief nnd every one who has
useO nry of them knowi how useless th < y-
are nnd their Inconvenience Is ueh that
very few havo the time or patience to con-
tinue their use
a radical rure of catarrh can only be ob-
tained from a treatmet t which removes the
catarrhal taint from the blood because no
one will now dispute that catarrh Is n con
stltutlonal or bit d disease and local appli-
cations can have no effect except to tem-
porarily relieve local symptoms
A new remedy which hu been remarkibly
successful lu curing catarrh Is a plcaxnut
tasting tablet which Is taken Internally and
acts upon the blood ahd mucous mem-
branes
It Is composed of antiseptic remedies like
Bed Gum Blood Boot and similar cleauMng
specifics which eliminate the catarrhal
poison from Jie system
The tablets being pleasant to the tasto
are dlssoved In the mouth and thus reach
tho throat trachea and finally the stomach
and entire alimentary canal Tliey are sold
by druggists everywhere under the name
of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets
If deslted when there Is much stoppage
of the now the tablets mar be dissolved In
warm water nnd used as a doucho In addi-
tion to Internal use but a douche la not nt
all necessary A few dissolved In the mouth
dally will be sufficient Dr Aluslee nays
Tho regular dally use of Htuarta Catarrh
Tablets taken Internally will cure the whole
catarrhal trouble without resorting to tho
lucontenleneo of a douelie or an Inhaler
They seem to give a healthy tone to the
whole mucous membrane and It Is really
rumarkable bor soon they will clear the
head and throat of the unnatural and pois-
onous catarrhal secretion
Stnurta Catarrh Tablets Is undoubtedly
tho safest most palatable and certainly the
most efficient and convenient remedy for
any form of catarrh
