Natures Own Cure.
Hyomei Cures Catarrh Without Dangerous Dragging
Of the Stomach

Not until Hyomei was discovered
has it been possible to truthfully say
that a remedy for catarrh was known.
This remedy is breathed through
the Hyomei inhaler for few minutes
four times a day, and during that
the air passages and lungs is impreg-
mated with the germ killing and
health giving Hyome. 1t is the only
treatment that cures catarrh.
Stomach drugging often causes dis
ordered digestion or brings on some
other diseases and never makes per-
manent cure of catarrh. Hyomei not
only kills the germs in the throat and
nose, but penetrates to the minutest
air cells in the lungs and enters the
blood with the oxygen, killing the
germs in the blood. 1t frees the mu-
cous membrane from poisonous mi
crobes and gives perfect health.
A complete outfit costs but 81. and
includes an inhaler, drOpper and suffi-
cient HyOmei for several weeks
treatment.
r. II. Thomas has so much faith in
the merit of Hyomei that he agrees
TO return the money to any purchaser
who may be dissa tisfied.

scrioes procedure precisely the re-
verse of this. 1t requires that all laws
relating to the revenues shall originate
in the house, be concurred in by the
senate and approved by the president.
From the foundation of the republic
up to the present day this procedure
has been followed. No revenue meas
ure has ever been enacted into law that
did not originate in the house of rep
resentaives."
Thus this faction of the Republican
party takes issue with President Roose-
welt and his faction by declaring that
a reciprocity treaty which reduces the
tariff is unconstitutional because "all
laws relating to the revenues must
originate in the house of representa-
tives" AS this reciprocity treaty with
Cuba will be the most important po-
litical issue that viii come before con-
gress the position of the Democrats.
who hold the balance of power between
the Republican factions, is significant.
At the close Of the last congress. after
Cuban reciprocity had been defeated,
the Democratic members held a caucus
and declared:
Resolved. First. that we condemn the
Republican majority in congress for fail
ure to pass a measure providing reci-
proeity with Cuba.
The bill which passed the house Of
representatives was heartily supported
by the Democratic minority after tie
protection to the sugar trust had been
removed by the solid Democratic vote.
aided by a small minority of the Re
publican members. AS it passed the
house the bill carried relief to Cuba.
reduced the price of sugar to Ameri-
can consumers and struck a heavy
blow at the notorious and obnoxious
sugar trust. The refusal of the RepuD-
lican senators to consider this meas
IRE unless the protection to the sugar
trust should be restored gives evidence
that the president and the Republican
party i'll congress are willing to refuse
relief to Cuba and totally ignore Amer
lean consumers rather than abandon
their alliance with the trusts.
From these declarations it will be
seen that the Democrats favor Cuban
reciprocity, but demand that at the
same time the protection to the sugar
trust of 1 cent and upward a pound on
refined sugar, known as the differen-
tial duty, should be abolished. That
proposition was passed by the house
of representatives, the vote being
Yeas, 100; nays, 1O5; 81 Republicans
voting with the Democrats. See. Con-
gressional Record, April IS, 1902, page
461O.
The minority faction of the Republic
an party thus voted with the Demo
Gratis, making the majority for the aD-
clifton of the protection to the sugar
trust.
The bill then passed the house as
