members of the company that she tried
to convert to Christian Science made
her life miserable on the subject OF
doctors To add to her discomforts her
daughter took it into her head to
elope very much in the same way as
the fair Lillian ran off with Teddy Sol
ONION years ago. That child has been
the apple of Lillian's eye. She had her
carfully educated in a convent and
would not permit her to enter the thea

STRONE EVIDENCE OF FAITH
Peldmeyer Bros Guaral tee that HyOmei
Viii Onre the Worst Case Of 0atarrh
In Annapolis.

When one of the most reputable
concerns in Annapolis guarantees
that medicine win effect cure or
they will refund the money, it speaks
volumes as to the merits of that rem
edy. 1t is in this way that Feldmeyer
Brothers are selling Hyomei, the
treatment that has made so many re-
markable cures of both acute and
chronic eases of catarrh in Annapolis
and vicinity.
Hyomei is not pill, nor is il a
liquid that has to be taken with q
tablespoon or wineglass. just breathe
it in by the aid of an inhaler that
comes in every outfit, and benefit Will
be seen from the first treatment.
1t destroys all germ life in the air
passages and lungs, and enriches and
purifies the blood with additional
ozone. 1t cures catarrh of the head
and throat, or of the stomach, liver
and kidneys. Wherever mucous men,
brane contains catarrhal germs, there
Hyomei will do its work of healing.
When using this treatment, the air
you breathe win be found like that on
the mountain high above the sea level.
where grow balsamic trees and plants
which make the air pure by giving of
volatile antiseptic fragrance that is
healing to the respiratory organs.
Remember that il Hyomei does not
cure you Feldmeyer Brothers will re-
fund your money.
