IT IS IMPORTANT
To Know "What You Are TnkliiK VVIu'n
tlaliiK Cutiirrli .Medicine.
Catnrrh Is the Abort routo to consumption
and tho Importanco of early and Judicious
treatment of catarrh, whether located In
the head, throat or bronchial tubes, cannot
bo too Htrongly emphasized.
Tho list of catnrrh euros Is or long as tho
moral law and tho formB In which they nro
administered, numerous und confusing, from
sprays, Inhalers, wnwhet, ointments und
salves, to powdors, liquids and tablets.
Tho tablet form Is undoubtedly the most
convenient and tho most effective, but with
nearly all advertised catarrh remedlos It Is
ulmost entirely a matter of guesswork ns to
what you nro Inking Into your syntoin, ns
tho proprietors, whllo making all sortB of
claims as to what their modlclnes will do,
always keop It n close secret as to what
they aro.
Tho success and popularity of tho now
catarrh cure. Stuart's Catnrrh Tnblcts, l
Inrgcly because It not only euros catarrh,
but because catarrh sufferers who use
thrso tablets know what they aro taking
Into their systems. Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets aro composed of Red Gum, Illood Hoot
nnd similar vnluable nnd nntlneptlo ingre
dients, nnd nro- plensnnt to the tasto, and,
bolng dissolved In tho mouth, thoy tnke lm-
mcdlato effect upon the mucous lining of
the throat, naeal pawsuges and wbolo ro
splratory tract.
The cures that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
have accomplished In .old, chronic cases of
catnrrh aro little short of romarkablo and
tho advantngn of knowing what you nro
putting Into your stomach Is of paramount
Importance when It Is rimombored that the
cocnlno or morphine habit hns been fro
quently contracted ns tho result of using bc-
crot catarrh romedliu.
Stuart's Catarrh Tabids meet with cor
dial approval frnm physicians, because
their antiseptic character render them per
fectly snfo for tho general public to uso and
their composition makes them a common
senso euro for all forms of catarrhal
trffubltf.
