GREAT REDUCTION IN DEATH RATE PREDICTED

Of people who are suffering from these diseases.
You must remember said one. that there has
never been cure for these scourges before,
and the use Of dangerous sprays. douches and
atomizers has only augmented the number Of
sufferers, until to-day over two hundred thousand
men and women die annually from these diseases
in this country alone. Something out Of tho
ordinary must be done to reach the people. They
have lost courage through their bitter experience
with advertising specialists. They will not
trust free treatments for 1t means to them an
other scheme to get their money. You must
adopt some other method. The II. T. Booth Co.
have followed their advice. and to-day snf-

Daily Kennebec journal., 1898-12-13

Nothing has ever occurred in the history of
medicine which has brought go much joy to the
medical profession as the announcement that
the new cure for diseases of the respiratory
organs would be placed on the market in such
a manner as to enable the poorest suffering
to receive the benefits which ore to be derived
from this wonderful treatment. Ever since
the discovery of this new germicide, and es-
pecially since they have found 1t q positive
cure for Catarrh, Bronchitis and Consumption,
physicians have used every effort to persuade
the manufacturers of Hyomei to bring their
remedy within the reach Of all, but having given
avay over two million sample bottles OF
Hyotnei free treated over seven hundred thou
sand sufferers with less than one hundred fall
ures and returned the money to all those who
had not betn cured. the X. T. Booth company
felt that they had done enough to prove to any
sensible person the true value Of their new
discovery. and refused to make any further
concessions. Strong pressure brought to
bear upon them by the medical profession
without results, until the proofs were furnished
that the methods OF introduction employed by
them had been used for years by quacks to
inyeige sufferers to their Offices where they
frightened them into purchasing their treat
ment or medicine-in fact. so often have the
people been deceived 1t is now almost impossi
BILE to persuade them to invest one dollar until
they know ttat the remedy will benefit them.
To be sure, over seven hundred thousand did
purchase Hyomei in 1898. yet as the physicians
expressed 1t, this number was but a drop in
the bucket when compared with the vast army

The foul mucous thrown off by the men,

septic pus from neglected wound. This
mucous attacks the bronchial tubes, lungs
and throat and stomach. 1t posons the

Few Good, Many Bad Claims

SEATTLE, July 23.-One hundred and
thirteen Kondikers who arrived at victo-
ria this morning on the steamer Garonne
| reached here this afternoon. The most
conservative estimate places the amount
of gold they brought at half a million dol
lars.
DR.. d. w. Ward of Portland, Ore, says
there are many who have large amounts,
while. on the other hand, many are coming:
out broke. H. N. jacobson of Sacramento,
CAL, is said to have $50 900, and is probably
the largest individual holder of the yellow
stun. OF two brothers of Philadelphia,
who are reported to have $4,000 each in
dust, the story is told that they refused to
put their treasure in the steamers safe
They guarded 1t all the way down, taking
watches of six hours each. They said they
were going to take 1t to the Philadelphia
mint. and would nj leN 1t get out of their
sight one moment until they arrived there.
o. L. Williams Of Seattle, who has been in
Alaska two years, had two sacks contain
ing about $1,000.
H. c. Sibray of Portland only credits the
entire party with $175,O00 Mr.. Sbray, with
| four others, was capsized while floating
down the Klondike river in a small boat.
All lost what they had made during the
winter. The hardships in that country, he
says, cannot be overestimated.
There is plenty of gold there" said he,
'and few good claims, but thousands OF
claims will not pay the recording fees"

SAN FRANCISCO, July 23.-The COM
mittee of five members, comprising D. T.
Fowler Green Majors, Thomas v. Gator,
w. r. Bladder and Carlton H. Johnson, ap-
pointed by the so-called straight Peoples
party convention after the split in the Pop
ulist party at Sacramento on July IA, today
prepared an address to voters, setting forth
at length the reasons that led to the nomi-
nation of 7. w. H. Shanahan for governor
on the anti-fuson ticket. The history of
former attempts at fusion is reviewed and
it is claimed that fusion means absorption
by the Democratic party. The address
scores their whilom associates, charging
them with sacrificing the Populist party
in their lust for oflioe and claiming that
union with the Democrats means the disso-
luton of the Peoples party. The address
concludes with an appeal to all Populists
to support the middle of the road candi-
dates.
