PREVALENCE OF CATARRH.
Growing Use of Hyomei Will Soon
Show a Decrease of This Disease.

Statistics show that at least 81 out
of every 100 persons in New York
state are suffering from catarrh in
some form. While the disease is one
of the most common with which the
medical profession has to contend, it
also is one of the most dangerous.
This is owing to its tendency to affect
the bronchial tubes, causing consump-
ton and other diseases OF the respira-
tory organs.
Prior to the discovery of Hyomei,
every method of treatment for the cure
of catarrh had been found worthless.
This can be clearly proven by the
weekly statements published in every
large city by the board of health,
showing a great increase in the death
rate from diseases of the respiratory
organs, and the startling growth irFthe
number of persons afflicted with such
troubles.
The discovery of Hyomei and its in
creased use has already reduced the
percentage of persons suffering from
catarrh. This wonderful remedy is the
simplest and most pleasant of all treat
ments. Just put a little Hyomei in the
pocket inhaler that comes with every
outfit, breathe through the inhaler for
ten minutes four times a day. Re
lief will be seen from the first treat
ment; cure will Soon follow. 1t is the
true treatment for diseases of the res
piratory organs.
Scientific and medical men recon-
mend it. Leading druggists have so
much faith in it that they guarantee a
cure or they will refund the money. In
this city Percy w. Means and Bow
ditch and Webster are selling it upon
that plan, so that any of our readers
can use Hyomei without its costing
them n cent Unless it cures. Can there
be q fairer way?

When an incident like the following
occurs right here at home, 1t IS oouho
to carry weight with our readers. 50
many strange occurrences go the
rounds Of the press; are published as
facts, people become skepucal. ON
one subject skepticism is rapidly dis
appearing. This is due to the actual
experience of our citizens and their
public utterances regarding them. The
doubter must doubt no more in the
face of such evidence as this. The
public statement of reputable citizen
living right here at home, one whom
you can see every day, leaves no
ground for the skeDtic to stand on.

"Snow" was the word everybody
spoke when they saw the heavy, gray
skies, yesterday morning, and felt the
chill OF the raw March wind. But it
proved to be rain rather than snow,
and n warm rain at that which fell in
a gentle driZzle through the day. Such
a rain helps take out the frost, but a
driving storm that would clean the
sand from the sidewalks would be
much appreciated. The prophets say
we shall yet have more snow.

Later-After DR.. Harris return from

by Mr.. Cummings, which is substan-
TALLY to the effect that he was unable
TO conceive how there had been any
spread of contagion through him. Mr..
Cummings states that he had left milk
in most instances at the kitchen doors
and has not made a practice of going
into the house except to receive pay
In number of instances, he says, he
has been paid by check and has not en-
tered the houses at all. He states that
he has never been in the room
of the Perkins child since he was
taken sick. nor has he at any
time been nearer than within two
rooms of him. His milk cans have
been scalded in boiling water every
day and are kept in the shed, consid-
erably removed from that portion of
the house where the Perkins boy lies
sick. He further states that he has
used a different suit of clothes to milk
iii from the ones which he has worn
while making his city deliveries. He
is confident that he has used every
precaution against contagion, and
while he is unable to account for the
| his customers, he is very emphatic in
| his belief that infection has not come
through any negligence on his part.

WOOD SCATTERS
THE MOROS
~
Many Natives are KILLED in
the Philippines
ONE U. S. PRIVATE IS LOST
II is Claimed by Some that General
Wood Forced this Skirmish
For Personal Motives
ONE U. S. PRIVATE IS LOST

Manila-(SpeciaD - General Wood
captured the Moro position in the
hills OF Jolo, north Of Taglibl, on the
goth inst. and destroyed the earth
works which they had thrown up.
Private Martin Banner of the Four
teenth cavalry was killed and two pri-
Yates were wounded. The loss on the
Moro side is known to have been sew
enty-fve and is probably more. Gen.
eral Wood says there will be no more
opposition on the part Of the sultan's
men for led fighting.
The anticipated news from Jolo
came today in a flood OF cable dis
patches which were written at Manila.
These told of the successful conclus-
lon of General Woods pursuit of a
band of insurgent Moro warriors and
the killing of 900 of the natives. While
everybody in Washington was prepar-
ed to hear of goodly slaughter. the
announcement that 300 had been slain
caused unmeasured astonishment.
Now that this much of the story is
out, 1t is taken for granted that sub
sequent dispatches will tell of many
heroic deeds by American soldiers
with General Wood as the central
piece of the setting. 1t was regarded
as a most curious coincidence that the
general should undertake the pursuit
of the Moros in the pacifled Islands on
the eve of the assembling of the con.
gress that was to pass upon his pro-
motion to the grade Of major general.
The coincidence became more strik.
Ing when military and press dis
patches announcing the generals pur-
pose were sent broadcast on the very
day the senate committee on military
affairs first met to investigate Woods
record.
Senators and nearly everybody else
In Washington, for that matter, be-
lieye there is something queer about
this latest Moro outbreak, and there
Is strong likelihood that there will be
q universal demand for all of che facts
appertaining to it before General
Woods nomination is confirmed.
