The Only Thing

To Remove Bronchitis, Ca.
tarrh. Consumption
and Pneumonia
FROM THE LIST OF DANGEROUS DISEASES
Is THE EDUCATION OF THE PEOPLE

Ever since the discovery that catarrh. bronchitis
pneumonia and consumption were purely local dis
eases. caused by the presence OF bacii in the air
passages. the medical profession throughout the
wtole world have bent all their energies 10 ndinr
some method r.medy by which thes. bacil;i
could be reached and destroyed. How they have
sucseeoeI is best told by glance at the reports
puOiished by the different boards of health in all
the larger cities in this country. which show not
only great increase in the number of deaths
yearly from these diseases hut a startling yroNth
in the number of persons afflicted This failure 10
find a cure for diseases OF the respiratory organs
must not be construed 10 n lack of ability on
she part OF the medical profession for they have
discovered many remedies which would Kill these
germs. Yet, strange to say, not of them could
be conveyed TO the parts affected 10y dry air. II
can be readily seen, then, that the discovery nf
''Hyomei." a gcrmicde of sufficient power 10 kin
at onc1 the hacilli of these diseases and at the
same time volatile enough to impregnate every
II Tree from moisture. was one Of vital Importance
TO the medical world. Doctors Throughout the
whole country began TO test the efficacy of this
new remedy, and Eow. after two years trial In
hundreds of cases under their own care over Z Sna
physicians claim that ''IIyomci'' the Australian
Dry Air Cure. is the ONLY treatment by which
all the diseased parts of the respiratory organs
can he reached and cured
Furthermore, 1T is claimed that in families who
are predisposcd to catarrh and consumption IL the
fathers and mothers will but instruct their chill
dren IN the of TIyomei.' the rising generation
will be freed from those dread diseases. II would
SEE m, then, that nothing remains he done in

ed to use the drug IN a preparation for
corns. Meunier called Mr. Lambert, fel-
low boarder, to his room aboi.t O'Clock
and asked him to remove his shoes for )Iim.
The latter consented to assist him, and

Tho Tubular Dispatch Company. of which
John Il. Milholland and the Tribune arc the
chief hackers. got an injunction on Saturday
restraining Bridge Commissioner Shea from
interfering with the work OF laying tubes
across tho bridge. The company had n contract
with the old bridge trustees, who were ap-
pointed by Mayor Strong, which permitted them
to put tubes across tho bridge and Keep them
there twenty-five years for tho annual rental of
81 1000 and q small perceata-A of tho receipts.
In the argumen before Justice Maddox In
Brooklyn in tho Injunction proceedings this
lease was referred to by counsel for tho city as q
plan to loot the city of n valuable franchise.
From Justice Maddox's decision tho city
promptly took an appeal. Section 1,314 OF the
Code OF Civil Procedure says that such anappeal
'stays the execution of the judgment or order
appealed from without an undertaking or other
security"
Notwithstanding the appeal, the Tubular Dis
patch Company sent n gang OF men TO the bridge
yesterday armed with picks and shovels. They
marched up the Manhattan entrance to n point
near the collectors box, threw down their picks,
took Off their coats. and prepared for work. For
q moment the police were awed at the spectacle.
They knew that an appeal had been taken from
the decision of Justice Maddox. Just as the
men were about to begin tho work of tearing
things up. Policeman Murphy recovered and de-
mnndod: what are YOU going to dor
we are going TO dig n hole right here was
the nervy reply Of one of the men as he pointed
to the roadway and tested 1t with his pick.
No. you don't" said Murphy. putting his
hand on his club.
why don't we r. demanded the man.
Murphy looked at him a moment and said
emphatically: Because | won't let you."
At this point n man stepped up who was said
to be Lawyer Bacon. who argued the case before
Justice Maddox for the Tubular Dispatch Com
pany.
Why won't you let us go ahead T. demanded
this man.
Roundsman Virgins had in the meantime Ind
word OF what was going on md on the order OF
the Corporation Counscl's office he had gathered
q squad of men to defend the city's property.
The roundsman came running up and said:
well, you cant do il and that settles it,
well, they will do it, was the retort.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Butts. who had
hustled out of TIE Corporation Counsels office
the moment he heard what was going on, got
there at this point and dcclared: well. they
won't do it and order you men to- clear out.
II you don't every one of you will be locked up"
Get out! Git !" said Virgins.
man for the men.
mo reason said tho roundsman, except
you got to go. and that settles it,"
There was one more protest, and the Assistant
Corporation Counsel ordered the roundsman to
clear out the whole crowd and to take any man
to the station who didn't obey.
That was enough for Virgins. 1t was enough
also for the Tubular Dispatch Company. and
the men gathered up their tools and got out.
The police were directed to lock up any man
who attempted to renew the work.
