NATURES OWN CURE
HYoMEI CURES OATARRH WITH
OUT DANGEROUS DRUG
GING OF THE
STOMACH.

Not until Hyomei was discovered
has it been possible to truthfully say
that = remedy for cstsrrh was known.
This remedy is bresthed through
the Hyomei inhaler for few minutes
four times a day, and during that
time every particle of air taken into
the air passages and lungs is impreg-
mated with the germ.killing and
health-giving Hyomei. 1t is the only
treatment that cures catsrrh.
Stomach dragging often causes dis
ordered digestion or brings ON some
other diseases and never makes q per-
manent cure Of cstarrh. Hyomei not
only kills the germs in the throat and
nose, but penetrstes TO the minutest
air cells in the lungs and enters the
blood with the oxygen, killing the
germs in the blood. IL frees the mu'
oous membrane from poisonous mi
crobes and gives perfect health.
A complete outfit costs but 81, and
includes an inhaler, dropper and sufii-
cient Hyomei for more than a months
treatment.
The leading druggists Of this city
have so much faith in the merit OF
Hyomei that they agree to return the
money to any pare haser who may be
dissatisfied.

II seems obvious from Washington
dispatches that Congressman Wheeler
knew what he was talking about when
he said some time ago that it would
be fifty years before the Ohio is i'm
proved to Cairo. We are heartily in
accord with the "On to Cairo" move,
and do not desire to be pessimistic, but
that the rivers and harbors committee
has no intention of helping the pro-

from here.
