action disappeared ages ago, yet the
soil is almost pure volcanic dust, and
in this decomposed lava are grown the
grapes which make the best wines Of
both coEatgies. Il is true almost any
thing else may b. grown in the vol
canic soil. but fo- some unknown rea-
son it seems best adapted to the grape
Larger and apparently finer grapes are
grown On the comparatively level plains
below. but it is generally conceded that
the volcanic hillside produces fruit
which yields a better quality OF wine
IN Italy and Greece. particularly in the
Greek islands, many, If not most Of
which, are of volcanic origin. 1t IS
claimed that the same difference is OBJ
serva5le in other fruits, that the or

dust of extinct volcanoes are superior
in quality and size to those grown else
where and more delicate in flavor and
perfume.

Mans aspiration for the things

The dangerous hazard for the sake
OF greater gain in wealth and name;
Nor does it seem TO her shame

OF cures TO its credit that all druggists are
authorized TO refund the money u It does
not give the desirod beneht This IS GER
tainly one OF the fulrest offers that can be

The Hyomei treatment consists OF an

Qlyumci The complete treatment costs
but 81 and as the inhaler will last
lifetime aud there is sufficient Hyomei
