Fort Stevcno by unscrewing the bolt on
the door of my cell, and nobody helped
me. I gave myself up to the railroad men.

AT FIRST GLANCE
It Would Appear That Local Reme
dies Would Be Best for Cure
of Catarrh.
It would seem at first glanco that
catarrh, being a disease of the mucou3
membrane, that salves, sprays, etc., being
applied directly to the membranes of tho
nose and throat would be the most ra
tional treatment, but this has been proven
not to be true.
The raucous membrane Is mado and re
paired from the blood, and catarrh is a
blood disease, and any remedy, to make
a permanent cure, must act on the blood,
and when the blood Is purified from ca
tarrhal polnson, the secretions from tho
mucous membrane will becomo natural
and healthy.
In this climate, thousands of people
seem scarcely ever free from, soma form
of 'catarrh; it "gets better at times, but
each Winter becomes gradually deeper
seated, and after a time tho sufferer re
signs himself to It as a necessary evil.
Catarrh cures are almost as numerous
as catarrh sufferers, but are nearly all so
Inconvenient and Ineffective as to render
their use a nulsando nearly as annoying
ns catarrh Itself; any one who has used
douches, sprays and powders will bear
witness to their inconvenience and failure
to really cure.
There are a number of excellent Inter
nal remedies for catarrh, but probably
tho best and certainly the safest Is a new
remedy, composed of Red Gum, Blood
Root ana similar antiseptic remedies and
other valuable catarrh specifics.
This romedy is In tiblet form, pleasant
to the taste, and sold by druggists under
the name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, and
any one suffering from catarrh may use
these tablets with absolute assurance that
they contain no cocaine, opiate nor any
poisonous mineral whatever.
A leading druggist in Albany, speaking
of. catarrh cure, says: "I have sold var
ious catarrh cures for years, but have
never sold any which gave such general
satisfaction as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
They contain In a pleasant, concentrated
form, all tho best and latest catarrh rem
edies, and catarrh sufferers, who have
used douches, sprays and salves, have
been astonished at the quick relief and
permanent results obtained after a week's
use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets." All
druggists sell full-sized packages for 00
cents.
