REMEDY FOR HAY FEVER.
After Trying Other Treatments Hy-
omei was Used With Perfect
Success.

Prior to the discovery of Hyomei the
only advice physician could give to
hay fever patient was to go away from
home but now any one who expects the
disease, can, if Hyomei is used, stay at
home without fear of the annual attack
of sneezing, watery eyes. and other dis
comfort.

railroad man. whose home is at Nc

merits of Hyomei. will always recon-
mend it whenever occasion requires
There is no offensive stomach dosi lg
when Hyomei is used. It is a reliable
remedy for the cure of all diseases of
the respiratory organs and is breathed
through neat pocket inhaler that
comes with every outfit, so that the air
taken into the throat and lungs is like
that of the White Mountains or other

Geo. W. Stansfield, druggist, 632 Kan

for Hyomei, advises all who are subject
to hay fever to begin its use two or
three weeks before the time of the an
nual appearance of this disease and thus

mel is not used until the sneezing and
other disagreeable symptoms have
shown themselves. it is necessary to use

Balm should be rubbed into the nostrils
both morning and night.
The fact that Geo. .Stans6eld agrees
to refund the money to any hay fever
sufferer who uses Hyomei without sue
cess, should inspire confidence in its
power to effect a cure.

Judge Cabaniss yesterday afternoon. as

evidence for the prosecution. that there
was absolutely nothing in it to hold the
defendant to answer before the Superior
Court. Mrs Davis sat at the table in
front of the bench with her baby in her
arms and when she was given her liberty
her children and friends crowded around
her and congratulated her. She thanked
the Judge. but he told her that no thanks
were due him.
Mrs. Davis was accused Of having
thrown lighted lamp at Mrs Mary Klein
last Friday night Both families lived at
1922 Sixth street. Mrs. Klein and her
baby were so badly burned that they died.

lamp at her. which Mrs. Davis. who was
present at the time. promptly denied. De
