TO-DAY'S SHORT STORY.] The Suffragette. By NEWTON BUNCEY. Harry Granville prepared to make a cast, but the vision of a, zirl in a skiff stayed his hand. She was endeavouring to pa-11 to the we-t bank of the lake, but her right stroke va,s weaker than her left, and the boat's nose kept swinging to the south. be'n be in the current presently if she's not, oarefHil," Granville muttered, gazing anxiously at the boat. "Surety some of the me:!J warned her. Hestotrwater, the lake which Granville was ■fishing1, has a treacherous current towards its south end. This flows very swiftly and powerfully, and eventually speeds through a narrow channel and falls over some sharp rocks down into a. pool some twenty feet beneath. As a matter of fact, 30rgaret Eymrwürth had been warned of the current, and it was entirely her own fault that sne was drawing perilously near to it. "Pall your right!" GranviUe shouted at the top of his voice. The girl heard him. made an attempt to divert the r-7ii.rse of her boat, but found thé pressure too Ltrong. Then she loe-t her head and oeased to p.ull. The skiff turned eharply at right angl.et; and was draggvd along by the current. Margaret Eynsworth sat very still, gazing wide-eyed at the rocks towards which &he was rushing. Granville threw down hie rod and stepped quickly into the water of the lake, thrusting his back against a rock. Alongside him the current poured into the channel. "Hitand llp" he shouted. "You won't fall -the boat is running too steadily." ?be girl obeyed, watching him wonder- ing ly, a? fhe ?ped on towards the channel. Now alie was very close to him, and he threw out his left arm, caught the girl round the waist, and Bwung her clear of the racing skiff. The nsxt instant the latter tore through the channel, and was hurled down into the pool below, crashing against some sharp-noeed rocks. The force the impetus swung the girl against the rock, but Granville'.s intervening arm took the blow. A moment later, with a, ftnal effort, he lifted her on to the rock, and stood still, breathless. "011, thank you, thank you," the girl murmured. "What should I have done but for your I "Didn't, you know of the current?" Gran- ville asked. "Yes. but I went nearer to it than I I •meant." "And now I must get you to the bank," Granville remarked. "I shall have to carry you. The rocks from which Granville had been fishing were about ten feet from the shore. Ifo had waded to them, keeping dry l by reason of big waders, which Teached to his knees. He stared across the water and then back at the girl. and far the first time he studied her face a,s they sat side by side on the rock which had played such a great part in the rescue "Why, I -I know you, surely, he said, elowly. gazing thoughtfully at her. "You re you're- he paused and then a /igh.t broke over his face. "Miss Kynsworth! (kn't you rcnvem'ier me? We met at Sir .Arthur Gray's place in, let me see, in 1902." "Yes, I remember." Mhs Kynsworth cried, "bec I knew you without that llootion, I ve seen your photograph about such a. lot." "Oil, in connection with the election?" Ye?, do you think you'll win lleeton- borough, Mr. Granville?" "Well. it will 1;e a cioie flghl. but I thirJ* this evening's speech will just about land me jionr.e.

He is prepared to grant, universal woman suffrage, but I should only recommend a. very small limit." Cii Mws Eynr worth's pretty little nose w as, metaphorically rpeaking, turned up. Granville -aw her scornful expression, and could not repress a smile. Really." he said, I had no idea that I was in such danger. Alone in the wilds with a suffragette! By Jove! Wouldn't that make a lovely headline for a morning pa per ?" Don't laugh, I". Granville," Margaret ■Eynsworth said in severe tones. I'm very *«riouf> "Are yen really? You ought not to be." Do it be cross with me if I say what I •think; let it be the candour of an old friend. tor I am an old friend, as I've kucwn you eince 1902. Xo, Misj Eynsworth. you are too pretty to hold iiicii strong views." The girl flushed and tried to look dis- pleased. But the gleam of battle ca.me into her eye; ;>rd drove away the softer light. "What a v("t.y masculine reason," she said wornfully, "as though that sort of thing has anything to do with politics." "ha L I meant was," Granville said, his eyet- t winkling. that you would be much better occupied in making some fortunate man a. happy home." Mis-" Eynsworth tried to look indignant, and, forgetful cf her position, moved though to stand up. But Granville put a firm hand on her shoulder. Please dont try to get up," he said.. "TIl.e rocks are very slippery, and you wouk\ pohahry fall in the water. j gather, though, that you want to go ) on shore," he went cii. "You must forget j' y>ar viewe for a moment and let me carry I you. "Oh, why do you adopt that bantering .-he flamed. "Why can't you take me seriously, as you would another man?" I I'm sorry." said Granville, humbly. I don't want you t" get wet, Mi.? Eynsworth, to will you lt-t me carry you to the bank? J?y waders will keep Uk dry." Margaret's brown eyes softened imme- diately. "That's much nicer," she staid. "But it's er.v jolly here: can't we wait a little longer? I don't think I have altogether got over my scare. I'd forgotten," Granville replied. It was very thoughtless of me. Yes, you had better rest." Secretly he waia very arlad of any excuse that would enable him to remain in stwh I close proximity to Margaret. the couple sat t.alkin-their subjects varying from reminiscences of the hoirse party of 1902 to the transmigration of souls. I "By cried Granville, suddenly. Look at the s-u ii! That orb was just diving down through crimjson clouils behind Hestontlrwaite Pike. I "It's nearly seven oelock," Granville con- tinued, consulting his watch. "Do you think you are able to start now, Mise Eynsworth?" "Yes." she replied, with a demure little smite. Granville slipped off the rock into the l water, and, putting his arm around her waist, he drew her to hi,mand strode towards the shore. Walking through water naturally made his progress slow, but he made it still slower purposely that he might hold Mar- garet in his arms the longer. Even then it teemed that he had barely put his arms around her ere he relfased them, and she dropped lightly to the ground. "Thank you again," Fhe said, dropping a eurtsey. her eyes mischievous. "It is quite mediaeval, isn't it? Ye gallant knight cometh to ye assistance of ye damozel, and bears her in safety through ye torrents! That's a better headline than yours." "Hadlin-e?" repeated Granville, tau?hingly. "Why. that would be a long paragraph for &?me of onr morning papers." Bin wberf are we?" Marglret a-sked, gazins around at the hill which fringed the ..Ollt h enol of the lake. "r have never been to far down as this, although we live near }11"tot)borot1h. How far are we from the town" "About ten miles by road." Arc we. really? Whatever time shall we get home? It's oeven now, and there's your meeting at eight—you'll mi>'8 that. Won't Mr. Carmichael be pleased?" "He would be if I did mi«s the meeting, but I'm not going to," said Granville in I rather grim tones. "You seem rather N pleased than otherwise." "Oh, do I?" replied Margaret, evasively. "But tell me, how can we get to Heston- borongh by eisht?" "Because there's a path over the hills that's. only three males long." Margaret did Dot reply, but trudged along in silence by Granville's eide. lie gazed once or twice 3ft her face, wondering why it wore euch a pensive expression. Surely it com Id not be 1)eC.ause they had only three miles to go instead of ten? No. impossible: he was not such a con- ceited ass as to think that. They were walking up the commencement of the hill path now. Suddenly Margaret's expression changed, and she began to prattle merrily about nothing in particular, bat quite sufficient to keep Granville engrossed. As they rose higher up the hillside the foot- path degenerated into a c'heep track strewn with .?tone?. The shadovs were lengthening rapidiy .?nd the crimson in the -sve7?tern sky was darke-ning. Here and there a star peeped out, an almost perfect st illness reignerl supreme, broken occasionally by the tinkle of a sheep-bell. It was delightful. Granville felt he could have gone, on walk- ing tiil he dropped, so long as Margaret was with him. "Oh!" Miss Eynsworth staggered and clutched at Granville's arm. "What is the matter?" Granville asked in alarm. "My foot!" moaned Margaret. "I slipped on a stone and my foot turned under. It's my ankle." "I hope you haven't sprained it," cried Granville, supporting her with his arm. Sit down on this rock." The girl obeyed, and Granville stared at her uneasily. "You'd better take your boot off," he said, "and see if you're hurt your foot badly. Doed it hurt very much?" I'll take my beet off," Margaret said in low tones. 6he bent over, unlaced her boot. and puned it off. Then ehe igazed hesitatingly at Granville. "I'll see if there's a spring near by," he said. "You'd better bathe your toot. Is the ankle sprained?" "I don't think so. Do you mind ?" Granville knelt down and tenderly tried Margaret's siim ankle. "It isn't swollen," he began, but a little gasp of pa ill from Margaret, made him con found his clumsiness. "I'm very sorry," he muttered, apologeti- cally. "You must battle it. I'll find a spring." He began to search, and found a pool close by. Margaret had taken off hei- stocking, and, holding to Cranvilie'a arm, she hopped to the water. U:andtle mut,erixi :;omething about having dropped his handkerchief, and when he returned from hid search Margaret had dt-awn, oil her sto(- had drawn on her stocking again, and with many grimaces of pain was lacing up her OO-ot. "Does it feel better?" he asked, anxiously. "It f-eeis a little easier," she replied. "Will you be able to walk? You can hold on to me as much as you like." "Thanks. I think I can manage." Margaret winced as she rose to her feet, and Granville involuntarily winced in sym- pathy. He took her arm, and the journey was recommenced. The progress wa" exceedingly slojv, and -every now and then Margaret had to stop to rest. The market-place at Hestonborough was crammed with people. From the baicony of a political club Sir. Carniichael harangued a huge crowd. At the other end of the square another crowd was gathered waiting patiently for iiavry 0 ranville's final speech. Eight struck, then half-past, and the crowd begun to grow inpatient, arid to repeat in chorus, "We want Granville." "Where is he? muttered Mr. Butler, Gran- ville's harassed and worried -agent. "It ail depends on this speech of his, he's got the result in his hands." Another half-hour passed by, and still Gran- ville did not appear. The crowd had lost its good humour by now, and was making un- pleasant remarks concerning Granville. Butler his hair dishevelled, his eyes wild, was rush- ing about sending messengers all over the place. We re done, we're lost!" he groaned. Oh, confound him! What has he played this fool's game for?" Mr. Girmichael had learnt of Granville's absence, and he wpeediiy turned it to account Where i" my opponent?" he asked. Dining somewhere, or possibly at the theatre. He says to himself that the people of Hestonborough have such a wonderful opinion of him that they will elect him any- I how—they are alraid to lose him. "Tell me," he shouted, "are you going to return a man who finds it too much trouble to express his views to you? Are you going to return a man who does not ca,re a snap of the fingers for you?" "No!" shrieked the crowd. "'h1en poll for me to-morrow!" bawled Garm.ic.hael, "Hooray! Three cheers for CXirmiohael! screeched the crowd. At a quarter to ten Granville hastened into bis club to find Iris committee in a state of dull despair. Butler was nearly hysterica'. You re done," he cried, and you've only got yourself to th-ank for it. You've lost two tfhonsand votes to-night if you've loat oue.* And after all we've d,,n&-afwr the way we've .slaved for you!" Granville listened impatiently, and then retailed the history of the evening s events. Butler's face grew bright, and he grabbed: the candidate's arm. "Come out!" he cried, drsvgging hdm on to the balcony. "Electors of Hestonborough!" he shouted. Here is your candidate!" The crowd was beginning to break up then, but at the pig-tot of the belated candidate they gathered together a/nd began to boo." "Wait!" shouted Butler. "Give Mr. Gran- ville fair play. Let me tell you where he has been and whnt he 1km been doing." The crowd grew curious and ceased its clamour "At the risk of his life," shouted Butler, drawing somewhat on his vivid imagination. "at the risk of his life our future member has this evening saved the life of the daugh- ter of one of our most influential residents. I refer to Miss Margaret Eynsworth." Then in picturesque and glowing sentences Butler told a stirring story of heroism and self-sacrifice, which so moved the crowd tha.t :t terrific roar of cheers set the windows in the square rattling. "While his opponent was only talking, Mr. Granville was' aA.ting," cried Bntler. "Now then, will you listen to him?" "Yes! Y(- shouted the crowd. Granville received a magnificent oration as he stepped forward. He purposely compressed his speech into as small a compass as possible, making it bristle with telling points. And at the end the crowd cheered him to the echo. Next day the polling took place, and at ten o'clock in the evening the following figures were given out:- Granville 9,732 I CurmichMi.— 6:11,1 Majority for Granville 3,552 The new M.P. for Heetonborougn paid an early visit to Margaret's home. Her foot was muoh better, she said-in fact, she could walk quite well again. "I must congratulate you. on your viotory" she .said. "And I must thank you," Granville replied, "for our adventure went a long way towards my success. "It's a funny state of affaim," murmured Margaret, thoughtfully. "How do you mean?" Granville asked. Margaret did not reply. "You will be going up to town soon, I sup- pose?" she asked. "Next Saturday." We are going next week for three months We shall probably see something of you." Granville was greatly delighted to hear this, and promised to pay an early call at the Evnsworths' town house—a promise he faith- fully kept. In fact, he paid numerous viit. Mr. Granville." said Margaret one evening, when the couple were alone, "I want to make a confession." Say on. Miss Eynsworth." It. is about the night before the election," Marssret began in hesitating tones. Ahout the an-Ide which you did not hurt?" aeked Granville, an odd twinkle in his eyes. Margaret's faoe flauie(i. "Oh!" she criad. "Did you know all the time?" He nodided. What can you think of me?" she asked in low tones. How bold you mnst have thought me! But I was trying to do it for a good cause. 'You wanted me to be too late to speak so that Carmichael could get in?" "Yes," murmured Margaret. "Because he was strong on woman suffrage, and I am not? I guessed that. And as I hurried to the club I thought it would have an opposite effwt-as it did. Mind you, I did not tumble to the scheme until we were near to the town, after nine o'clock, and then 1 noticed that yon sometimes seemed to remember suddenly that you ought to limp. "And you didn't say a word against me." Margaret said. her expression downcast. Granville smiled. "You are still a. suffra- gette. though, aren't you ?" he asked. "Oh. yes," she replied decidedly. "Do you believe in married women having a vote?" [ "Most certainly not." "Then why not give up any idea of having a vote. "Ma.rga.ret ?" he said in low tones, going very near to her. She did.

The first suspicion he had a?l ?.t" his wife was when he 1'eCpini a letter from her on March 10, 1909, in which she seid:- You have often fiaid you would not be one bit surprised to hoar I am gone. Ae eoon as I can see my way clear I am off. I iave no one to take my part, but there may be a day I shall have someone to. you can think what you like of this. Petitioner at onoe went to see his wife, and asked her a.bout the letter. She then told him she loved someone else, and did not 1 intend living- with him again. She refused to name the man ehe referred to, but subse- quently she wrote to him on July 22. 1909, from the Central Hotel, Cardiff, asking him to ta.ke proceedings, as she would never live with him again. She enclosed a bill showing that she stayed there as Mrs. White with Mr. White. Petitioner made inquiries, and then proceedings ware instituted. Petitioner in the witness-box bore out counsel's statement. He further said that White, who was a butcher a.nd cattle dealer, was a regulir customer at his wife's hotel, the Stag Inn. He went there every night. Evidence was given that respondent stayed at the Central Hotel, Cardiff, with the co- respondent in July of last year.

The suit was undefended. It was stated that the petitioner last year received a letter from his wife addressed from an hotel at Boxhill, Surrey, as follows: Dear Artie,—During my long journey home I thought over our married life, and I see what a hopeless failure it has been. It is quite useless for us to attempt to live together. In these circumstances, I have determined to strike out for myself and take a course which will bring ha.ppi- ness to me. I a.m staying here under the name of and with Captain Molyneux. We have been her nearly a week. We have known each other for many years, I and he has promised to marry me directly I am free, which I hope wili be soon. As we have now compromised your good name beyond redemption, neither of us will oppose any proceedings on your part. I may as well tell YOTl that Captain Molyneux is a very poor man, and dependent upon his means; but we are determined not to be .separated. We are separating to-morrow— I go to Ireland—and we will live apart until in a position to marry. As you know, I have had a, miserable life, and I now intend to try happiness. A letter from the co-respondent was received by the same mail, and also contained a confession. It stated:- I am writing to inform you that your ? oil that your wife and I have been staying at the above address under my name. I have loved her for many years, and I will devote my life to making her happy. I know she loves and trusts me. She has told me everything of her past, so now we have taken this decisive step. She is now far from well. and her present position weighs heavily upon her, making her anxious for a speedy solution of her difficulties. I shall offer no defence to your action, and I shall be glad to know the name of your licitor-You.rs faithfully, CARYL MOLYNEUX. to know the name of your solicitor.—Yours

I WEARING STOLEN COAT. 1 Edigar Williams, a. collier, of no fixed abode, was before the Pontypridd justices on Wed- nesday charged with stealing gold chains and various articles of clothing, amounting in the aggregate to the value of L8, the pro- perty of John Luxton, car driver, Treforest.

Prisoner was arrested by Police-constable Thomas wear- ing a coat and muffler, alleged to have been stolen. T'hø c.nains were afterwards pawned. Williams was al--o charged with .stealing a. coat. value Xi. from his fellow- lod«er, H. T. Wesftacott, collier, while both were lairing at The Graig, Pontypridd.

r Tuberculous Meat i CAERPHILLY CONVICTION CONFIRMED j At the Glamorgan Quarter Seesiome at I Swansea on Wednesday, before the chairman (Mr. O. If. Jones) and the vioeKihairmen (Messrs. Rhys Williams and J. 1. D. Nicholl), Frank Hawkins, wholesale butcher, Ponty- pridd, appealed against a conviohon by the Oaerphilly justices on February 22 last by which the appellant was fined .£2() and costs for depositing for preparation for eale the carcase of a heifer that was unfit for human food. Mr. B. Fraiicis-Wiili-.tms, K.C., and Mr. Vamghan Williams (instructed by Messrs. Morgan, Bruce, Nicholas, and James) appeared for the appellan:, and Mr. Ivor Bowea and Mr. St. John Francis-Williajns (instructed by Messrs. Spickett and Sons) for the justices. The fact that the meat was diseased with tuberculosis was not, in dispute, but for the appellant Mr. Francis-Williams raised a point that the conviction was bad because the justices had mixed up the two p€tions of the Act, one giving power to seize and the other to fine or imprison. Tile bench ruled that the two sections must be read together, as the second section referred to the meat.. so seized. They, how- ever, decided to state a ca«c. Counsel further urged that there was no guilty knowledge or intention to eell. The slaughterman found the entrails discoloured, and <i rev.- the attention of the manager (Mr. Henry Johnston) to the fact, and he at once telephoned to Mr. Ha,wkins about it. Appel- !ant replied by telling the manager to pu.: the beast on one side till he saw it the next day. This was done, but meantime the seizure was made Evidenoe was given for the appellant, who was also called, but the telephone message from the manager was ruled to be inadmis- sible, though Mr. Francis-Williams urged that it was contrary to a ruling of Mr. Justice Channell on rhe point. The Court, however, agreed to state a case on this point. Apellant's manager, Johnston, said there no intention to offer for sale. The appeal was eventually dismissed, with oosts, and the conviction confirmed.

I POSTAL ORDERS. 1 1st OF APRIL JOKE ON RED- TAPE. All but the higher officials at the Central Telegraph Office at &t. Martin's-le-Grand are laughing hugely over a merry skit on the elaborate red-tape orders governing trivial matter3 which are issued from time to time. The travesty (which might re-call the famous instructions on How to Kill a Cockroaoh" by hitting him on the spot marked "A" in dia-gram with the end of the block marke(I B" in inset) was invclnted ma.ny days ago—in good time for the day between March 31 and the 2nd of April ajid ported where all might read it. L'nhappily, it has since been torn down l a, solemn higher official who required an uninterrupted view of the wall behind it. It ran:— Notice to the Staff.—General Order Xo. 159,072. It is observed that when' a pencil requires to be sharpened a great diver- sity of method w pursued by the staff. tn view of the fact that the provision of pencils is a significant cost on the department, it is desired that- uniformity of procedure should be folio wed with regard to their sharpening. The follow- ing rules are laid down for the guidance I of all concerned, and it Î" incumbent upon the superintending officers to see that they are carried out:- (a) Hold the pencil firmly in the left hand, and with the right draw the blad-o of a, penknife smartly across the wood in a diagonal direction. starting about three- quarters of an inch from t.he outei1 end. taking oare not to cut the lead, or a waste of peneil will ensue. (b) Repeat this operation several times, moving the pencil in a circular direction with the fingers of the left hand. (c) When the lead is laid bare especial care is needed with regard to its pointing. Hold the pencil point downwards on a pad. making sure, of course, that the pad is first turned over, so as not to spoil a message form. Idl Draw the knife carefully down-wards on the lead in a vertical direction, turn- ing the pencil as before with a rotary movement until a point is obtained. (e) The question of the disposal of the residual lead now presents itself. Do not blow this away' recklessly, as some have been observed to do, but carry it oare- fully to the nearest wastepaper receptacle and deposit it therein. It will be to the interest of the staff to see this carried out by others. (f) Should it be necessary to borrow a penknife from a colleague, the borrower should be careful to see that the col- league is not bWsy at the time. It is advisable, however, for every member of the staff to proTide himself with this article, a,nd the provision or. otherwise will be taken into consideration when the Question of nromotion arises. The inventot the skit is "unknown." He is being earnestly seajrehed for by numbers of tne ataff in order that he may be persuaded to do some more.

THRASHED WITH A BROOM 1 PEMBROKESHIRE FARMERS SON FINED 225. At Newchapel, Pembrokeshire, Petty-ses- sions on Wednesday Inspector Idris Jones, of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, charged John Evans, Vaynor Farm, Manordeifl, Pembrokeshire, a farmer's son, with ill-treating an industrial school boy named George Pegram on March 21 last and divers previous dates. Mr. Roy Evans, solicitor, Newcastle Emlyn, appeeried to prosecute on behalf of the society. Defen- dant pleaded "Guilty under provocation." It was alleged that defendant had kicked the lad, thrashed him with a broomstick, and had oaught him by the throat. He had taken his boots from him, and had made him to ran in the open barefooted. The lad had to run away and seek shelter with kind neigh- bours. Dr. Stephens, Cardigan, said the lad's body was one mass of bruises, and it was ques- tionable whether he would be permanently deaf in his right ear. The Bench considered the case a very serious one, and imposed the maximum fine of £ 25 and costs—in default pix months' im- prisonment.

I PENARTH POLICEMAN PRAISED. 1 At the close of the sitting of the Penarth Court, on Wednesday Mr. J. J. Neale (chair- man) said that his colleague, Mr. D. T. Alex- ander. had asked that he should commend the behaviour of Polioe-constable John Daniele in recently arresting an armed burglar. They felt that they could not allow the occasion to pass without mentioning it to Ids superior officers (Superintendent D. Morris and Inspector Letheren), as they understood that he had previously arrested a r.otorious burglar who had successfully eluded the police for a considerable while. Superintendent Morris promised to draw the attention of the chief-comtabie to Daniel's conduct.

CADUM Cured Red Face, Mrs. L. Bougmon, 12, Vernon Road, Luton, says "Four- teen yeais ago a little red lump came on my right cheek. It burned and smarted, and in a few days my face very much inflamed with painful irritation. Every kind of treat- ment the hospital and IVMA t k.) &< other doctors could devise failed utterly to give me relief. Eventually my face was completely covered with inflammation and pimples. Y ears of costly treatment having done me no good I tried Cadum. After the Third night Cadum had taken out every. bit of inflammation, and within a week it had completely cured ,my face, which was amazing to both my husband and myself. Cadum is a new medical discovery that quickly cures all skin troubles, including eczema, psoriasis, ringworm, scaly skin, rash, pimples, sores, eruptions, chafings, acne, e4c. It stops the itching at once, and begins healing with the first application. Price 7sd.. I/Ig, and Zj9 a box, of all Chemists, or from Omega, Ltd., London, N.

A DAILY NUISANCE. A Simple Remedy Which Will Intarest Catarrh Sufferers. In its earlier stages catarrh is more of ll-uisauce than a menace to the general health, but sooner or later the disease extends to the throat, bronchial tubes. and even to the stomach and intestines. Catarrh is essentially adisea.se of the mucous membrane, the local symptoms being a profuse discharg-e of mucus, stoppage of the nostrils, irritation in throat, causing coug-liing, sneezing, gagging, and frequeob clearings of the throat and head. The uMua.l treatment by local douches, snuffs, .alve-, &c., often gives temporary relief, but anything like a cure can only be obtained by a treatment which removes tne catarrha! taint from the biood and the dis- oap,iy,Il.allco of the i nil am in at ion from the mucous "uI1'aee: A new remedy which meets these require- meatd and which so far hae been remarkably successful in curing catarrh i6 Stuart's Ca.tarrh Tablets. These tablets act upon the blood aind mucous membranes only. They can hardly bo called a secret patent medicine, ae they are composed of suoh valuable remedies as Sanguinaria, Hydrastin, Eucalyptol, and similar oleansing antiseptics which cure by eliminating from tho blood and mucous surfaces the catarrhal poison. .Smart's Catarrh Tablets are large, pleasant- tasting lozeiigse, taken internally, allowing them to dissolve slowly in the mouth: in this way they reach the throat, fauces, and the entire alimentary canal. If desired, they may also be dissolved in water and msed us a douche, in addition to the internal use, but it is not. at all necessary to use a douche; a few of them dissolved in the mouth daily will be sufficient. However, when there is much stoppage of the noae. a douche, made from these ta-blets will give immediate relief, but the regular daily use internally of these tablets will cure the whole catarrhal trouble without resorting to the inconvenience of a douche. A doctor states that "the internal treat-meet for catarrh i6 rapidly taking the plaoe of t.he old plan of douching and local applicatioml. and, further, says that probably the best and certainly the safest remedy at present on the market, ie Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, as no. secret, is made of their composition and all the really efficient remedies for catarrh am contained in this tablet."
