GOOD REASON FOR IT.
The Sncrrii and Popularity of the
JScyt Catarrh Cure.
The remarkable success and pnpularltv of
tho now catnrrh cure. Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets, Is lamely necauno It not only cures ca
tarrh, but becau'-f catarrh sufferers who
use these tablet" know what the) an tai
lns Into their s) stems; no secret n undo f
what they contain. They arc comix's-il of
Hjclmstln. Mood root, guaiacol and ml
pirn, an ilcnsant to tin taste ami. Ixlng
dissolved In the mouth, they take immedi
ate effect upon the miieou-i lining of thn
throat, nasal passages and the whole xesp.
ratory tract
The cures that S-tuart's Catarrh Tiiilets
have accomplished In old chronic cc. are
little short it remarkable-, ami the advan
tage of KuoT.tiu; Jit-t what you aro taMmr
ii't.i jour sjstem 1 of paramount Impar
tanie when it W remembered that the o
calne or morphine hahlt has bet n frequent
ly contracted as thn result of 11-ung -oert
eatairh remedies. ns so many f hen are
well Knowu to contain these Intarlnus.'.ruj-.
Stuarts Citnnh Tablets me t w 'i tho
upptoval and cordial sujport if phy-s Ian
because their antiseptic charac"ir tend.r-5
them perfectly safe for the funeral in Ho
to u-e and their composition makes tlam a
oniniin-sen-t cure for nil forms of ca
tarrhal trouble.
With uearl) all advertised catarrh euros
It Is a matter of guesswork as to what ou
aro taking irto the stomach, as the proprie
tors, while makirg all sorts of claims as to
T.hat their medicines will do. are vcr care
ful to keep it a close secret us to what
thev re-illv contain.
This 1 one reason whv Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets hat. been so widely recommended.
because they aro not onlv- pleasant ami
cor.v.-nient to take, hut thn patient also

jinvthing of an Injurious chiraeter
These tablets are sold by druggl-ls every
where in the I'nlted States and Canada at
M cents for complete treatment, and proh
ablv there Is no better remedy ecr devised
for'tho permanent euro of catarrh, whether
located In the head, throat, bronchial tubes
or In tho stomach.

The toard probably will ray that IJooi

In studies and rnslbl;- Ivecause of his bit- '
popularity with the either cadets, a matter I
over which the War Department has m '

there will be a general shake-up at the mil- '

changed.
