Catarrh is n lingering cold which refuses to yield to or dinary treat racnt. patarrh usually starts with a cold In tho head and If left unchecked in this climate rarely gets woll of Itself. As freah cold Is taken the diseaso spreads, grotting deeper and deeper, creeping along the roucouB membranes from nose to throat, from throat to windpipe, from windpipe to bronchial, tubes and from bronchial .tubes! to lung-iceilfl. The jnucoustmembranes ull connect ione With tho other'. Hence It Is to spread from no part to another lined with this same membrane. This Is why catarrh in the head; soon nffects the throat and finally tho stomach Itself, bringing on chronic catarrh of tho' st'onfacli, which Is a roost obstinate form of dyspepsia. Everybody Is now well agreed that ca tarrh la a blood diseaso and not a local one, nnd tho attempt to euro by local nppltca tlons simply gives temporary relief from tho purely local symptoms without the re motest effect In Btayltig tho progress of the diseaso. There Is a new preparation recently of fered to tho public that Is apparently destined to do nway with every other form of catarrh treatment. This new remedy Is not a secrot patent medicine, but is a large, pleasant tasting tablet composed of nioodroot, Red Gum from tho Eucalyptus treo and othor valu ablo and harmless specifics, which are taken Internally and seem to havo a ro markabty beneficial effect upon tho blood and mucous membranes, apparently ollml natlng the catarrhal poison from tho whole system. These tablets, while being plcusant, con venient and absolutely safe to use, have made cures In long standlug cases of ca tarrh that are little short of marvelous They are sold by druggists under namo of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, and any catarrh sufferer who has tried Inhalers, lotions ointments, sqlves, otc, and realized their inconvenience and uselcssness will fully ap predate tho difference between a mere pal liattve and a permanent cure after giving Stuart's Catarrh Tablets an Impartial trial All druggists sell them at 50 cents for full sized package, and no matter where tbo catarrh 1b located, In the head, throat lungs or stomach, Stuart's Catarrh' Tablets , will surprise you with tho effective result I et svea a Xevr. days' use, - St. Peter's church on Wednesday In tho presenco of a largo gathering of friends.
