Mr, Ful- PUINTS OF EXCELLENCE, A Few Reason Which sure Itnpldly , Slaking a .New Catarrh Care Famous. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, tha new Catarrh cure, has the following advantages oyer other catairh remedies. First: Theso tablets contain no cocaine, morpblno or any other injurious drug and are as sate and beneficial for children us for adults; this is an Important point when It Is recalled that many catarrh remedies do contain theso very objectionable Ingre dients. Next: Doing In tablet form tbls remedy docs not dotcrlorato with age, or an ex posure to tho air as liquid preparations In variably do. Next: Tho tablet form not only pro aervos tho medicinal properties, but It Is so far more convenient to carry and to uso at any time that it Is only a question of time when tho tablot will entirely super sede liquid medicines as It has already done in the medical department of the United States army. n Next: No secret Is mado of tho composi tion of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets; tboy con tain tbo actlvo principle of Eucalyptus bark, red gum blood root ond Hydrastln, all harmless antiseptics which, however, aro death to catarrhal germs wherever found, became they eliminate them from the blood. Next! You cannot cure catarrh by local applications to tho nose and throat, because thsso are simply local Byraptoraa and such treatment cannot possibly reach tho real scat of catarrhal disease, which Is the blood; for this reason Inhalers, douchos, sprnys and powders never really euro ca tarrh, but simply give temporary relief which a dose of plain salt act water will do just as well. Catarrh must be driven out of the sys tem, out of the blood, by an internal rem edy because an internal remedy Is tho only kind which can be assimilated Into the blood. ' Stuart's Catarrh Tablets do tbls better than the old form of treatment because tbey contain every safe speclflo known to mod ern science in tho antlfeptlo treatment of the disease1. Next: The use of Inhalers and spraying apparatuses, msiacs oeint inerrenctive and disappointing is exponslve, while a com plete treatment of Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets can be had at any drug store In the united BUtei and Canada for (9 ctntt, ler was the originator of the modern steel skeleton building and erected tho first bJlld Ing of that character that was constructed In the United States, tbo Tacoma In Chi cago.
