PUBLICATION IN MEDICAL. SOCI
ETY'S OFFICIAL, PAPER. CAUSES
MICH DISPLEASURE
SOCIETY AVOIDED POLITICS
Why the Five Men Selected to Run
the Paper Broke Loose at
This Time Is What
Is Hurting.
Members of the Ramsey County Medi
cal society were both surprised and
chagrined to read, in the current num
ber of the St. Paul Medical Journal, a
lengthy editorial laudato.yof Dr. Anck.;r,
the present head of the county hospital.
The editorial in qmstion states that the
administration of Dr. Ancker, during tte
time he has held his position, has been
highly satisfactory, and says that the
board of control will make a grave mis
take unless it elects him his own suc
cessor. To add to the displeasure o"
some of the doctors, the Pioneer Pres.3
reproduced the salient points of the edi
torial in the Medical Journal In an edi
torial and accompanied them with com
ment in a similar vein yesterday morn
ing-.
The St. Paul Medical Journal, it will
be remembered, was started some yeais
ago as the official organ of the Ramsey
County Medical association, and was
designed' primarily as a vehicle for the
dissemination of the higher medical opin
ion of the county. It was the intention
of its founders to hold the paper aloof
from politics of every kind and to make
it simply a journal for the ger.tral prac
titioner. The present deviation from the
principles on which the paper is sup
posed to be based is, therefore, not en
tirely pleasing and bids fair to cause a
storm at the next meeting of the society.
While it is generally remitted that Dr.
Ancker's executive administration of aC
fairs at the county hospital has been
fairly satisfactory, the society is divided
In its individual preference a 5* to whether
or not Dr. Ancker is deserving of re
election this spring. But apart from
their wishes for a chance there are many
members of the Riimsey County Medi
cal society who are wondering how and
where the live editors of the Journal
derived their authority tor, the publica
tion of the aiticle referred to above.
They are both surprised and indignant
and the matter will not be allowed to
drop where it is at present.
As a matter of fact, it is stated, on
what appears to be good authority, that
there are fever members of the society
in favor of the retention of Dr. Anekor
than ever betore, but their code of ethics
checks them when it comes to takintc
an open stand in the matter. That the
editorial in the Pioneer Press will have
the effect of assisting Dr. Ancker is
doubtful^ certain people saly, that
the uttc-rance in his favor in that paper
■was not inspired by wholly disinterested
n olives.
Four years ago, when two physicians,
not members of the society, were aft^r
the position, the society refused to in
dorse Dr. Ancker. It is therefore more
amazing to seme of them that at thi-r
time when two aspirants are members
of the society, the official organ shou'd
take sides in the matter. That's the rub.
This much is certain: The board of
control has three candidates for the pos'.
tion now held by Dr. Ancker, and may
po:=rfbly have more. All the candidates
r.ow in the field are men of recognized
ability and that they are held in high
repute by the members of the county
nu-cMoal society.

MEN WHO MISSED CROWNS.
Some Who Could Have Been Kfuss
flntl They So WlNhed.
London Tid-Bits.
- The English crown has been rejected
on!y once, and then Cromwell was the
man who refused the honor. Neverthe
less, practically, as much power was at
tached to the protectorship, though it
was without the regal emblem.
The crown of Greece has been refused
more often than any other. Lord Derby,
one of the greatest statesmen of the
Victorian era, might have worn it, if
he had chosen, for it was offered to him
thirty-eight years ago upon the expul
sion of Otto, owing to the friendly feel
ing he exhibited toward Greece. After
some ccr.<Mueration, however, he decided
that his position as a British statesman
prevented his being a monarch, so he
refused the throne and the ?250,000 a
year attached to it.
Englishmen seem to have found favor
in_Greece at that time, for no sooner had
Lord Derby refused the throne than it
was offered to the Duke of Edinburgh,
the queen's second son. He would, in all
probability, have accepted it, had it not
been for the objections of other
European sovereigns, who considered
that a son of Queen Victoria, as king ot
Greece, would make that country an ally
of Great Britain in the event of war,
although the former's military strength
was as insignificant as it Is now. The
Duke of Edinburgh was, therefore,
obliged to be content with his British
title; so the throne was then offered to
and accepted by the present king, George
of Denmark, brother of the Piince.-s of
Wales.
Garibaldi, the great Italian patriot,
might have been king of JSicily had he
not refused the proffered throne. Victor
Emanuel thought that nothing short of
a kingdom would be sufficient reward for
the gTeat services h« ;iaS rend-.-rod to
Italy, so he resolved to cut off Sicily and
make it a kingdom under Garibaldi, but
subject to the Italian government:. More
over, the great soldier was the idol of
the Italian people, and it vas feared
that Victor Emanuel himself would
easily be deposed in his favor if a re
bellion were organise!!. Garibaldi, how
ever, disliked honors as he did riches,
and, rejecting the offer, retired into ob
scurity as soon as hi had done what he
considered to be h<s 'luty.
Another man who mignt hive been a
king had he wished was Bismarck. Not
only did Prussia crush Austria in the
great war of 1866, but several minor
states as well, and for his services in
bringing the campaign to a successful is
sue, Bismarck was offered the throne of
one of lhose kingdoms which now came
under Piussian surveillance.
The throne of Austria was refused in
184S by the father of the present Em
peror Francis Joseph. He was the Arch
duke Carl, and, when Ferdinand I. abdi
cated on account of internal strife in the
year mentioned, he absolutely refused
to have anything to do witTi the mon
archy, though he was the rightful heir.
The crown was then offered to his son
and accepted, but the father remained
archduke for years afterward.
Some years ago Prince Napoleon,
nephew of the great Bonaparte, died in
exile, after refusing the first offer of the
crown of Roumania when it was con
verted into a kingdom. He was a man
of great ambition, and fully bslieved that
at a future date he would be offered the
monarchy of France; so^he declined the
former in the hope that he would get
better things. By so doing he lost his
chance of ever becoming a king, and died
a few years afterward, an outcast.

THE ST. PAUL GLOBE, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1901.
li Hi MANY UK
LEGISLATORS ARE FIGURING ON
THE REAPPORTIONMENT
OF THE STATE.
HAVE BEES IN THEIR BONNETS
Not a Few Have Denljcna on
a . Place In the National
House of Repre
sentatives.
The joint committee on reapportionment
has as yet held no meeting. They are
planning for their first conference some
time this week, probably Tuesday. In
the hands of this committee is doubtless
the most important work which will come
before the legislature this session. In
terest naturally hinges on this particular
proceeding, and until it Is settled other
events of less concern, especially to the
Republicans of the state, who will be
the reapers of the spoils in any event, so
far as the influence of the committee ex
tends, will command divided attention.
Numerous plans for redistricting the
state have- been suggested and others are
being devised. The minority members
of the legislature are taking little or no
part in the affairs, since they will be
prevented from participating in the work
of slicing up the state. The plans are
all therefore such as will make the full
nine districts apparently Republican.
Nearly all the plans thus far advanced
have been either wholly or in part form
ed by an ambitious Republican, who
wants to get to congress through means
of the redistricting process. It would,
perhaps, be impossible to determine the
number and names of all thes e gentle
men, but at present those who are prom
inently discussed as would-be represen
tatives are included in the following list:
Speaker Dowling, Lieut. Gov. Smith, Sen
ators Young-, Buckman, J. D. Jones.
Grindeland, Myran, H. J. Miller and
Somerville, Albert Berg, Ezra Valentine,
of Breckenridge, and S. G. Comstock, of
Moorehead.
The plan for the nine new districts
which the joint committee is said to
favor is the following:
First district—Houston, Fidmore, Mow
er, Freeborn, Winona, Olmsted, Dodge,
Steele, Wabasha, Total population, 115,
--\2\.
Second—Faribault, Martin, Jackson,
Nobles, Rock, Waseca, Blue Earth, Wa
tonwan. Brown, Cottonwood, Murray,
Pipestone. Population, 399.250.
Third—Goodhue, Rice. Le Sueur. Nicol
let, Scott, Dakota, Carver, Sibley, Mc-
L,eod. Population, 183,066.
Fourth—Ramsey and Washington.
Population. 1*18,362.
Fifth—Hennepin. Population 228.341.
Sixth—Wright, Sherburne, Benton,
Steams, Mille lacs, • Morrison. Todd,
Douglas, Crow Wing, Case, Wadena.
Hubbard. Populafon. 199,075.
Seventh—Redwood. Lyon. Lincoln. Ren
ville. Yellow Medicine. Lac Qui-Parle,
Chippewa, Meeker, Kandiyohi. Swift.
Pope Stevens Big Stone, Grant, Tra
vesse. Population. 202,110.
Eighth—Cook. Lake. St. Louis, Carlton,
Pine. Kanabec, Isanti, Chisapo. Anoka,
Aitken. Itasca. Population. 162,125.
Ninth—Otter Tail. Wilkin. Becker,
Clay, Morrison, Polk. Red Lake, Bel
trami. Marshall, Kittson, Roseau. Popu
lation, 190,052.
Many of the Second district members
have a plan which they claim is the best
yet offered. Two advantages are to be
gained, they affirm, by their system.
These are a more equal division of popu
lation and closer railroad communica
tions. The notab:e feature about this
system is that it removes Congressman
McCleary and Blue Earth county from
the second district and place them in
the Third with Heatwole. The plan is
as follows:
First District—Dodge, Fiilmore, Free
born, Houston, Mower, Olmsted, Steele,
Wabasha, Winona. Total population,
193,404.
Second—Brown, Cottonwood, Faribault,
Jackson, Lincoln, Lyon, Martin, Murray,
Cobles Pipestone, Redwood, Rock. vV'a
tonwan, Yellow Medicine. Population,
191,437.
Third—Blue Earth, Carver, Dakota,
Goodhue, Le Sueur, Nicollet, Rice.
Scott, Waseca. Population, 193,tf75.
Fourth—Ramsey and Washington. Pop
ulation, 198,362.
Fifth—Hennepin. Population, 228,340.
Sixth—Big Stone, Chippewa, Douglas,
Grant, Kandiyohi, Lac gui Parle, Mo.-
Le-;d, Pope, Renville, Sibley, Stevens,
Swift, Traverse. Pouplation, 153.355.
Seventh —Anoka, Benton, Crow Wing,
Morrison, Sheiburne, Meeker, Steams,
Todd, Wright. Population, 179,193.
Eighth—Aitkin, BeJtrami, Carlton, Cass,
Chisago, Cood, Itasca, Kanabec, Lake,
Mille Lacr, Pine, St. Louis, Isanti. Pop
ulation, 177,615.
Ninth—Becker, Clay, Hubbard, Xittson,
Marshall, Norman, Polk, Red Lake,
Roseau, Wadena, Wilkin, Otter Tail. Pop
ulation, 193,521.
Still another plan is given, and it
makes the districts nearly the same size
in point of population, but is deficient In
the matter of lailroad communication. It
it this:
First District—Houston, Fiilmore, Mow
er, Freeborn, Winona, Olmsted, Dodge,
Steele, Wabasha, total population, 195.-521.
Second District—Waseca, Bine Earth,
Faribault, Martin, Watonwan, Cotton
wood, Jackson, Nobles," Rock, Murray,
Brown, total population, 189,986.
Third District — Goodhue, Rice, Le
Sueur, Dakota, Scott, Carver. McLe id,
Sibley, Nicol'.et, Hennepin (half of coun
ty), total population, 195,066.
Fourth District—Ramsey, Washington,
tctal population J08,362; Republican ma
jority, 2,'toZ.
Fifth District—Hennepin (half of coun
ty), total population, 202,732.
Sixth District—Cook. Lake, St. Louis,
Carlton. Pino, Itasca, Aitkin. Kanabec,
MilleLacs, Morrison, Benton, Isanti, Chi
sago, total population. 192,281.
Seventh District — Pipestone, Linco'.n.
Lyon, Redwood, Yellow Medicine, Lac

Eighth District—Renville, Meeker, Kan

Sherburne. total population, 1L'6,615.
Ninth District—Todd, Cas?, Wader, a,

Patriotic.
Washington Stax.
There is a five-year-old boy in Massa
chusetts averiue who is of the blood of
patriots. His grandfather was in both
the Mexican and Civil wars, and his
father was also a I'nion :/.uier, conse
quently the liUle fellow has heard much
"flag" talk in his short life and has ex
alted ideas of its protective qualities. He
was the baby of the family till very re
cently, and occupied a crib bed in his
mother's room. When the new baby
came Harold was put to sleep in a rcom
adjoining his mother's, and as he had
never slept alone before, his small soul
was Tilled with nameless fears which he
was too proud to tell in full.
"It's mighty lonesome in here, mam
ma,' 1 he culled the first night after he
had been tucked in his little white bed.
"Just remember the angels are near
you and caring for you," replied mamma
from the outer room.
"But, mamma," he objected, "I am t
acquainted with any angels, and I'd be
scared of them if they came rustling
round, same as I would of any other
stranger."
"Now, Harold, you must pro to sleep
quietly; nothing will hurt you."
"Can't 1 have the gas lighted in here? 1'
"No, mamma doesn't think it neces
sary, and it is not healthy."
There was silence for some time, and
then the small voice piped up again.
"Oh, mamma!"
"Yes, dear."
"May I have grandpa's flag?"
"Why, what for? I want you to go
right to sleep."
"Please, mamma!" and a small night
gowned figure appeared at the door.
"Just let me slick the flag up at the head
of my bed, and then I'll go right to sleep
—Indeed I will! You know the other night
grandpa said at the meeting- that 'un
der the protecting folds of tho flaa: the
weakest would be safe,' and I feel mighty
weak, mamma."
He got the flag, and when his mother
looked in on him an hour later he wa«?
. fast asleep, with a fat little fist under
his red cheek, holding fast the end of
the "protecting" flag.

FAMOIS CASES WHERE THEY
HAVE PASSED AIS.XHE OPPO
SITE ''SEX
MANIA STARTED WITH SAPPHO
One of the Few Among: These Phe
nomenal Women Xow Alive It.
Catherine ('ihmulik, of
London.
The task which Murray Hall set herself
has attracted many women before her.
Most of them have gained a certain Fort
of posthumous fame thereby. In this
fact nr.ay perhaps bo found Murray Hall's
motive, says the New York World. But
she had no. iconfidants. This must be
speculation. There is a very large clas*
of these cares which are due to a dis
eased brain or perhaps to a defective
brain. I refer to the cases of women who
are born with a masculine mind, a mm.l
that endows', its possessor with all the
masculine tastes and desires.
It has been estimated by those who
have studied the subject very carefully
that one woman in 720 is thus affected.
She has the, mind of a man engrafted
into the body or, a woman. Her tastes
are all masculine* This frequently leads
to grave mental disease.
The opposite* o£>this condition—the man
with tastes of the opposite sex—is more
common tb_an the former. Krafft-Ebling,
the great German psychologist, who has
made a very., careful study of these un
fortunates, has, I believe, estimated that
in civilized cities one man among 330 is
the proportion of these. He also states
that this condition is on the increase, and
that it seems to increase as civilization
advances.
These unfortunate people, who must be
looked on as insane, have existed for a?
long a period as we have any authentic
record?. Rome and Greece, in the days of
their greatest glory, furnished many ex
amples.
In history the most prominent, of
course, is that of Sappho.
The cases that have been carried out
to their successful termination. " where
the motive was of .the highest, have bjen
examples of the noblest heroism possib'e
for human beings to reach. The splendid
acting, the, unspeakable hardships over
come, all Indicate a determination that
seems superhuman. .
Of all the women who have played the
part of men and died, playing it, the
Countess Sarolta Vay Is one of the most
famous. .: •■.■..'/; :.!:
The countess was an Austrian girl and
attained celetirity some ten years ago.
She was the daughter of a colonel, who,
having: a large family of daughters,
brought up Sarolta as a boy. Her girl
hood was passed in Pesth, where fhe
visited cafe? in man's clothing and drank
and smoked with journalists and officers.
She published"", a book of poems under
the name of, Candor, and appeared for
the first time, in uniform shortly previous
to the time when her family first tried
to dissuade her from continuing her dis
guise.
She refused, however, and was next
heard of as a-suitor for the daughter of
a school teacher in Klagenfurt. She was
known thereias Count Sandor Vay, anl
as such married the young woman, Marie
Engelhardt. i The swindle was shortly
discovered, but nr>t until after the count
had squandered ; a good share of her
"wile's" money;.
One woman, as tradition goes, once
succeeded even in becoming pope of
Rome. Modern^nvestigation, however,
discredits the story.
The heroine bt this astonishing tale
was "Pope Jean," an English girl born
in France, *~ho,i for love of a young
monk assumed mascujine dress and en
tered a monastery. Later the two fled
the monastery, the monk died, ami Mis
tress Joan, sfll in disguise, won for her
self a pretty reputation as a scholar and
lecturer. In Rome her prestige became
so great that in 655 A D., on the death
of I.co IV., the beardless priest was
chosen his successor under the name of
John VIII. Two years five months and
four days she held sway over Christen
dom when she cieri.

most remarkable Instances on record of
successful disguises of sex.
The Chevalier happened to be a man,
but that fact did not stand in his way
"When an important question of diplomacy
came up. The Chevalier was attached
to the court of Louis XV., of France.
The king- wanted a diplomatic agent to
send to the court of the empress of Rus
sia. Unfortunately—because the king
knew no woman sufficiently gilttd— the
agent must be a woman.
The Chevalier came to the ie.=cue, and
with marvelous facility transformed him
self into one of the most charming lad.es
either court had ever se?n. Tha mission
vfas successfully accomplished, for the
astutest of the Russians could not pene
trate this remarkable dirgulse.
Catherine Coombs, of London, is one of
the few among these phenomenal women
who is still alive.
She is now sixty-five years old and is
a resident of the West Ham poor nous?,
London. For forty-three years she was
known as Charles Wil-on, and practiced
the trade of mural ramting and decoiat
ing-.
Nor would her altogether blameless
masquerade ever have been discovered
probably had not "Charles Wilson" been
injured by a fall and obliged to go to an
institution because no longer able to
support herself.
Hazleton, Pa., still boasts of a former
citizen, whose real name was Mrs. Pie
tro Loganani, but who long worked in
the coal mines in masculine guise.
New York alone has furnished many
such instances. Many people remember,
for instance, Bessie Fincgold, who of a
sudden began to assume male attire, took
a wife and was thenceforward known
under the name of Max.
One furtKer disguised woman has suc
cessfully carried out her scheme among
the Pennsylvania miners.
Her name was Mrs. Julia Forest. She
was distinguished from many other sub
jects of these interesting experiments in
being of good birth, the daughter of an
Episcopalian clergyman, well educated,
attractive in person and manners. At
sixteen Julia eloped with a miner, who
afterward became injured and was una
ble to work.
Shortly it was known in the mine that
John Forest, a cousin of Julia, had taken
her husband's place in the mines. For a
long time she had practiced this innocent
deception and earned the money to sup
port her sick husband and her children.
For twenty years Mrs. Jane Westover
was the town barber of Marlborough,
Conn. The best class of citizens would
be shaved by no one else than this gen
tle expert with the razor, who haS come
to town one day in a man's coat, trou
sers and derby hat, and vr'no never
changed her style of dress.
One curious characteristic of women
who array themselves as men is that
they almost invariably have the gift of
making other women fall in love with
them This was the case with Tony
Leeea, who succeeded In arousing the In
terest of almost every young woman em
ployed in the big hat factory of John T.
Waring, in Yonkers.
But the inevitable befell Tony. He—or
she, if you will, fell in love. And while
the factory girls were still excitedly
wondering which of them he preferred,
announcement came of Tony's marriage
and assumption of her proper sex.
For twenty years Private Joigensen,
late of the Victorian rifles, led a most
extraordinary career. Though in reality
a woman, her sex was never" suspected.
So anxious was she to maintain her as
sumed character that she frequently
made love to girls, whom she promised
to marry, but whom in each case she
sooner or later deserted.
The muster rolls of the armies of ttie
Rebellion show a number of cases of sol
diers who were discovered to be women.
Doubtless there were many suspected. In

One of the most remarkable cases on
record of a woman warrior, who passed
for a man and fought like one, is that
of Christian Cavenagh. She lived in Eng
land in the last century. She was mar
ried and had three children. Her hus
band, after the humane methods of the
time, was kidnaped and carried off to
Holland. There he had to enlist as a
private soldier. Christian, hearing this^
dressed as a man and enlisted as a
private soldier to be near her husband.
She was wounded at th« battle of Lan
den, made prisoner by the French and
was carried to St. Germain-en-Laye,
where she remained until she was ex
changed.
She quarreled with her sergeant, fought
a duel with him and was transferred to
another regiment. Again she was wound
ed at Ramillies. While in the hospital
there her secret was discovered. She
was, however, permitted to remain with
the regiment as a cook.
Many English army officers who are
still alive recall the case of "Dr. James
Barry," as the lady was called. Fifty
years ago her successful disguise was a
current topic for gossip in the English
army. An army surgeon had served suc
cessively at the Cape, at Malta and the
Barbados. This person was small, thin,
wrinkled, with strong vegetarian opin
ions. At the Cape he fought a duel with
an officer who had called him a woman.
Mrs. Lindley, the wife of a soldier, her
self a soldier, went through some of the
sharpest engagements of the Civil War

Mr. and Mr?. Lindley had been married
only a few months when the bridegroom
was called to serve and enlisted in Com
pany D, Sixth Ohio cavalry.
At Yorktown Mrs. Lindley, who had
taken the name of "Tommy," was under
fire for the first time. She bore It well,
showing none of the nervousness of her
sex. She was successively in the battles
of Fort Magruder, Hanover C. H., Bull
Run, Antletam and Boonesboro—some of
the bloodiest fights of the war.
She is still living, the mother of several
children.
Louise Watson, an English woman by
birth, the child of wealthy parents, took
off skirts at the age of eighteen because
she wanted to, and putting on man's
clothing, went to London.
Mary Anne Talbot was sent to the
West Indies as foot-boy to a Capt. Bow
en. She was known as John Taylor.
The captain was shot, and Miss Talbot
went from drummer to cabin-boy and
powder monkey and steward on an At
lantic ship. She gained the love of a
woman and left her broken hearted.
Later she fell in a fight in London, was
caught by the police, and only escaped
by acknowledging herself to be a woman.
Christina, Queen of Sweden, was edu
cated and dressed like a boy from her
birth because her father was disappoint
ed at not having a son. She was more a
king than a queen, and after four years
of rule she resigned the crown and went
off to amuse herself in Europe. She was
dressed in man's clothes and acted as
uproariously as any man who ever owned
his clothes by right of sex. She was
only twenty-eight at this time.
Mrs. Christian Welsh put on a suit of
her husband's clothes and followed him to
Flanders, whltiber he had gone to join the
army. She was so notoriously profligate
in 'her behavior that she was accused of
being the father of a child. In order to
keep up her disguise she admitted this
disgrace, and even supported the child
and its mother.
A young Venetian, Tonlana Marlnello,
fought through Garibaldi's campaigns,
where stfie passed as the brother of the
man who was her husband. She was a
brave soldier, so fearless that nothing
seemed to touch her, and at the end of
the war was decorated for bravery.
Mary East gave up the feminine role
because her lover was fcanged for rob
bery. She changed her name to James
How, and kept a public House in part
nership with a woman, who passed as her

A CAUSE OF HEADACHE.
One Very Common Cause, Generally
Overlooked.
Headache is a symptom, an indication
01 derangement or disease in -or.c or
gan, and the cause of the headache is
d;mcuk to locate because so many dis
eases have headache as a promn nt
symptom; derangement of Ih 3 stomach
end liver, heart trouble, kidney disease
lung trouble, eye strain or 111-iittln~
glasses all produce headaches and if
we could always locate the organ which
is at fault the cure of obstmte head
aches would be a much simpler mat
ter.
However, for that form of headache
called frontal headache, pain bark of the
eyes and in forehead, the cause is now
known to be catarrh of the head and
throat; when the headache is located in
rack of head and neck It is often caused
from catarrh of the stomach or liver.
At any rate catarrh is the moat com
mon cause of such headaches and. the
cure of the catarrh causes a prompt dis
appearance of the headaches.
There is at present no treatment for
catarrh so convenient and effective as
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a new Internal
remedy In tablet form, composed of anti
septics like Eucalyptol, Guaiacol and
Elood Root which act upon the blood and
cause the elimination of the catarrhal
poison from the system through the nat
ural channels.
Miss Cora Ainsley, a prominent school
teacher In one of our normal schools,
speaks of her experience with catarrhal
headaches and eulogizes Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets as a cure for them. She says:
"I Buffered daily from severe frontal
headache and pain In and back of the
eyes, at times co Intensely a3 to in
capacitate me In my daily duties. I had
suffered from catarrh, more or less for
years, but never thought It was the cause
of my headaches, but finally became
convinced that such was the case because
the headaches were always worse when
ever I had a cold or fresh attack of ca
tarrh.
"Stuart's Catarrh Tablets were highly
recommended to me as a safe and pleas
ant catarrh cure and after using a few
60-cent boxes which I procured from my
druggists I was surprised and delighted
to find that both the catarrh and head
aches had gone for good."
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by
druggists at 50 cents per package, under
the guarantee of the proprietors that
they contain absolutely no cocalr.e
(found in bo many catarrh cures) no
opium (so common In cheap cough
cures) nor any harmful drug. They
contain simply the wholesome an lseptlea
necessary to destroy and drive from the
system the germs of catarrhal disease.
