FEW PEOPLE REALIZE
The Danger in That Common Disease,
Catarrh.
Because catarrhal diseases are so com
mon and because catarrh Is not rapidly
fatal, people too often overlook and ne
glect It until some incurable ailment de
velops ^s a result of the neglect.
The Inflamed condition of the mem
brane of the nose and throat makes a
fertile soil for the germs of pneumonia
and consumption. In fact catarrhal pneu
monia and catarrhal consumption are
the most common forms of these dread
ed diseases which annually cause more
than one quarter of the deaths in this
country.
Remedies for catarrh are almost as
numerous as catarrh sufferers bpt very
few have any actual m%rlt as a cure, the
only good derived being simply a tem
porary relief.
There Is, however, a very effective
remedy recently discovered which Is rap
idly becoming famous for Its great value
In relieving and permanently curing all
forms of catarrhal diseases, whether lo
cated In the head, throat, lungs or stom
ach.
'this new catarrh cure Is plnclpally
composed of a gum derived from the
Eucolyptus tree and this gum possesses
extrordinary healing and antiseptic prop
erties. It is taken Internally In the
form of a lozenge or tablet pleasant to
taste and so harmless that u-.,e chil
dren take them with safety and benefit.
Eucolyptus oil and the bark are some
times used, but are no- so convenient
nor so palatable as the gum.
Undoubtedly the best quality Is found
In Stuart's Catarrh Tablets which may
be found In any drug store and any ca
tarrh sufferers who has tried douches. In
halers and liquid medicines, will be sur
prised at the rapid Improvement after
a few days' use of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets which are composed of the gum of
the Eucolyptus tree, combined with'oth
er antiseptics which destroy the germs
of catarrh In the blood and expel the
catarral poison from the system.
Dr. Ramsdell In speaking of catarrh
and Its cure says: "After many experi
ments I have given up the Idea of curing
catarrh by the use of Inhalers, washes,
Balves or liquid medicines. 1 have al
ways had the best results from Stuart’s
Catarrh Tablets; the reu gum and other
valuable antiseptic contained In these
tablets make -.tem. In my opinion, far
superior to any of the numerous catarrh
remedies so extensively advertised. The
fact tnat Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are
sold In drug stores, under protection of
a trademark, should not prejudice con
scientious physicians against them be
cause their undoubted merit and harm
less character make them a remedy
which every catarrh sufferer may use
with perfect safety and the prospect or
a permanent cure.
For colds In the head, for coughs, ca
tarrhal deafness and catarrh of the
stomach and liver, people who have
tried them say that Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets are a household necessity.

A STRONG LETTER TO OR. HALL
Stevenson,, Ala.. June «. 190L
Dear Sir: I have been a great sufferer
from bladder trouble for two years and
my case was of a very serious nature
compelling me to have several painful
and dangerous operations. I have also
taken many different remedies; I taken
Swamp Root three years. Warner’s
Sale cure two years, and they only gave
temporary relief.
After having two operations and pre
paring for the third. I saw your Texas
Wonder advertised, and purchased a bot
tle. And I got almost immediate relief,
and have continued to improve every
since.
My doctors said my bladder had grow
ed together In three places, and I was
suffering almost death. No man living
can say more than I can say for your
Texas Wonder. And I call it a World’s
Wonder and I hope all who suffers will
give a trial.
Wishing you success, I am.
Yours Truly.
