CHARM AGAINST ASTHMA
Breathe BaIsamic Air of Hyomel
Quick Relief For That HChokIne, ~

Hyomei is just as valuable in the
treatment of asthma, as it is in catarrhal
troubles, and many letters have been
received from prominent men and wo-
men who have been cured of asthma by
this simple treatment.
Rev. George H. Honey of Deer Park
Parsonage, Baltimore, writes: "The Hy.
omei came last Friday morning. Mrs.
Honey had been suffering severely three
weeks daily with asthma when she be
gan using it, and after few times of
not returned. She has had this trouble
since she was seven years old, and we
have spent hundreds of dollars in search
of relief. When you consider all this. |
think it is most remarkable thing, that
once using Hyomei, should remove the
trouble entirely"
There is no disagreeable strangling
Inhalation with Hyomei as with ordinary
asthma cures Its aromatic, fragrant
medication is breathed through an in
haler, both as preventive of asthma
and cure for acute attacks. 1t gives
immediate relief and prevents a recur-
renee of the disease.
Asthma appears in SO many different
forms, that there are probably some
cases Hyomei will not cure; in these
G, R. Fogg will refund the money as
the proprietors of this treatment write
that they d. not want to take anybody's
money, unless perfectly satisfied with
the good done by Hyomei.

day In Its sixth anniversary on Saturday
last. The children came. Where did
they all come from? Was asked on all
sides. Such dear bright children, bring

was pretty sight and 1t made the
hearts OF the older ones beat faster and
seem younger by mingling with the dear
children. To some it brought sad yet
sweet memories of childish voices of the
past and to such even the "borrowed'
child brought the blessing to their
hearts which cometh by giving day of
pleasure to one of these little CUES. To
listen to their songs and recitations was
enough to thaw the icicles from any
colo heart. The excellent manner In
which all acquitted themselves showed
great pains on the part OF the committee
in charge and the aptness Of the children.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET.

New Orleans, Feb. 9.-The spot cot
ton market was very strong to-day in
sympathy with the remarkable advance
in both spot and delivery values at
Liverpool. The extreme views of the
factorage element served to somewhat
retard the volume of trading. Sales, g.
$50. Quotations advanced Mc on all
grades.
Operators in cotton contracts had
quite lively time, and their trading
was for awhile upon a decidedly heavy
scale. The bulge of points in spot
and 7QS in deliveries at Liverpool was
unexpected, and came as a surprise to
the market on this side Prices at the
outset showed gains of TOLL points but
the temptation to take in profits on
the long side was more than conserva-
tive operators could stand, and the
rush to realize in advance Of posi-
BILE reaction effectually checked the up
ward trend of prices, which broke SOS
points under the weight of offerings.
Following this mild downward turn
prices steadied up somewhat and there
after values 1uctuated a few points
either way, but there was an under
current of strength in the market, and
at the close the board showed net gains
from Saturdays level of 1913 points

Baxter a. Co.'s Cotton Letter,

New York, Feb. 9.--There was a fur
Their sharp advance this morning, and
business was again on a free scale.
Cables were all that was expected, and
in some respects more. There was
buying in all directions, and a change
in sentiment was apparently going on
everywhere. The weather was better
in the South, but 1t was expected that
the weather in Texas of late must have
removed all hope of securing much of
the unpicked cotton If at any time it
amounted to much. Receipts were
running quite moderate again, and
there was nothing to show that it was
likely to show up on any such scale
as has been the case of late. On the
contrary, the few reports at hand con-
corning the movement led to the belief
that it would be moderate from now
on. Shorts were nervous and Wall
street followed up their nibbling of last
week'b by entering the market and buy
ing with confidence. The South was
good buyer and interest everywhere
was apparently increasing. Port re-
ceipts, 10000, against $4,000 last year.
Prices rose as much as II points the
first half hour, but profit-taking pre-
vented much further immediate i'm
provement. Interior receipts were mod
crate. Gables showed net advance
of 4@5 points.
