There has lately been received at the Aqua
rum n fine specimen of the spadefish. about
ii inches in length, which was taken in Graves
end Bay. The spadehsh is rarc in these waters,
more common in Southern waters. In its out
lines it suggests somewhat the familiar ace OF
spades of the playing cards. 1t is called also
moonfsh. triple-tailed porGy. and angel hsh. 1t
resembles the angel fish in some degree in shape.
but the angel fish is formed, on finer lines and is
also of light colors and brilliant coloring, while
the spadctish is dark.
All'hshes when first in captivity are likely to
be nervous and restless, and often they refuse
food. Every effort is made to provide them
with food that, will be agreeable to them. When

sometimes tho shell with the clam in has

The Board Of Health Reports in
All Large Cities
Show a Decrease in the DeaSl1
Rate from Catarrh, BrOnchi' =
tbs and Consumption.
THE NEW TREATMENT THE CAUSE.

That these terrible scourges are at last
under control can no longer be doubted;
for the first time In the history of the coun-
try there has been a decrease in the num-
Der Of deaths reported from every section,
North, South, East, and West and, as this
reduction is shown only In these particular
diseases, 1t has proven most c~onclusively to
the medical profession the value of the new
treatment. OF course, they have always
known that these diseases could not be
reached by stomach medicines or liquid
sprays, douches, or atomiZers-the con.
struction of the air passages prevented it
neither were they satisfied that a dry air
germicide, which could be inhaled without
Injury, had at last been found or, IL it had,
that 1t would destroy the bacilli Of Ca.
tarrh, Bronchitis, and Consumption, To
be sure, they have used "Hyomel" In their
own practice with success, but the crucial
test was to come, when "Hyomei" came
into universal use. During the past, win:
ter this new treatment was introduced
throughout the North. East, IL West,
over 10000 Outfits having been sold,
and although every inducement was made
to compel the people to report untavora-
bly,, less than one hundred so reported,
and each person received his money by re-
turn mail. Even this wonderful success
did not quite satisfy the medical profession;
they waited fo- the health reports, and now
that they have come, all doubts vanish, and
knowledged, by all as the only treatment
known by which diseases of the respiratory
organs can be reached and cured.
Too much credit cannot be given to the
manufacturers of this new treatment for
their efforts to relieve suffering humanity.
They have expended thousands upon thou
sands of dollars to induce the public to test
"Hyomei," have given away over2 900, 900
bottles free of this germicide, treated hum
dreds of sufferers daily at their offices with
out money or price, and last, but not least,
refunded the money for every bottle in case
it did not cure. 1t would seem hat under
the circumstances every person in the coun-
try could test " Hyomei," and they undoubt-
eddy would If it had not been for the hun
dred and one quacks who have advertised
to do the same Except guarantee their treat
ment, they never dared do that, in order to
get them to their Offices and brighten the
poor sufferers into purchasing some treat
ment or remedy but, then, the time is about
past when the people will allow themselves
TO be humbugged in this way. 1t will be
enough for them to know that the increas-
ing death rate from Catarrh and Consump.
ton has been stopped, and will gradually
decrease as the people become acquainted
with and use the new remedy, which 10
guaranteed to cure orthe money is refunded.
