less rain away from the shore and the

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.

YOUR MONEY RETURNED
If Hyomei:. Does Not Cure You of 0atarrh
Says Feldmeyer Bros.

In advertising that they will refund
he money to any one purchasing a
IyOmei outfit who can say that il has
done them no good in the treatment
of catarrh, Feldmeyer Brothers mean
,xactly what this guarantee says.
OF course, the percentage of cures
by Hyomei is nearly one hundred, or
else they could not afford to
make this unusual offer. But If
The treatment should not be adapted
to your case there will be no ques-
lions or quibblings when you go to
get your money.
That the beginning of catarrh Is
due to the presence of germs in the
air passages is now admitted by every
physician. 1t stands to reason that
catarrh cannot be cured unless these
germs are first destroyed. The Hy-
Omei treatment kills the catarrh
germs even in the minutest air cells
soothes and heals the irritated mu-
cous membrane, and makes complete
and lasting cures in cases that have
resisted the usual methods of treat.
ment.
Catarrh cannot be cured by medi-
cines administered through the stom'
ach. Hyomei is the only natural meth
I'd, and it has made cures that seem
miraculous. An outfit costs but $1.0O
and consists of an inhaler which will
last a lifetime and sufficient Hyomei
for more than a months treatment.
Additional bottles of Hyomei can be
procured for soc.
Feldmeyer Brothers give their per.
sonal guarantee with every Hyomei
outfit they sell to refund the money
if it does not cure.
