Mark Twain's cure for a cold in the head was simple, but he claims very ef- fective in his own case. His plan was to eat nothing whatever for twenty-four hours or presumably until the trouble had disappeared. Although not able to speak from per- sonal experience as to the effectiveness this treatment, it certainly has the mer of extreme economy; but it occurs to that the application of it to a case of nasal catarrh might be attended with dif- ficulties Catarrh, as every ome kno s a chronic cold in the head, and Mr. Twain's treatment, if it should become a fad, would make of us a nation of fasters; an army, emulating the example of the im- mortal Tanner, who achleved world-wide fame by fasting forty days. Catarrh is certainly becoming a national disease, and there is little doubt but that errors in diet, particularly overeating, is a very common cause. Mest people, however, are more inter- ested in the cure of the trouble than in the cause, and modern medical science has produced more effective and less heroic remedies than Mr. Twain's. Guaiacol is a new remedy, very effective in some forms of catarrh. Eucalyptol is another, which on account of its anti- septic properties is very valuable, while many severe cases of Chronic Catarrh have been entirely cured by the sanguin- arfa or extract of blood root alone. Within a year an enterprising chemist has combined all of these remedies in tablet form, palatable and convenient, and the superfority of this tablet over other catarrh remedies is so apparent that all druggists now carry them in stock to sup- ply the popular demand. They are called Stuart's Catarrh Tab- lets, and it is doubtful if any medicine has achieved a national popularity in so short a time as this. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are used by thousands of traveling men because they can be carried in the pocket and used any time and in any quantity, being free 5-;«‘\]'2 cocaine, oplate or any poisonous They clear the head and throat from the disgusting secretions of catarrh, very often in a few hours’ time. For nasal catarrh they are far superior to any wash, lotion or ointment, the use of which is often as inconvenient and an- noying as the disease {tself. or coughs. colds, bronchial catarrh ana catarrh of the stomach these tablets give immediate rellef and a permanent cure where lotions, douches and inhalers make no impression whatever. This preparation is a boon to catarrh sufferers. and_any druggist will tell you that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is a remedy that has come to stay. i cotdiid » DON’T be bashful About stating your preference as to iaundering of any particular article. you like more starch—or less starch—in your linen, be kind enough to tell us, and you will get just what you want.
