YOUR MONEY RETURNED.
" Hyomei Does Not Cure You Of Ca
tarrh, Say eowditch e. Webster an,
Percy w. Means.

In advertising that they will refund
the money to any one purchasing a
Hyomei outfit who can say that it
has done them no good in the treat
ment of catarrh, Bowditch & Webster
and Percy W. Means mean exactly
what the guarantee says.
OF course the percentage of cures by
Hyomei is nearly one hundred or else
we could not afford to make this
unusual offer. But If the treatment
should not be adapted to your case
there will be no questions or
quibbiings 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 Hyo-
mel treatment kills the catarrh germs
even In the minutest air cells, soothes
and heals the irritated mucous menu
brane and makes complete and lasting
cures in cases that have resisted
the usual methods of treatment.
Catarrll cannot be cured by medi-
cines administered through the stom-
ach. Hyomei is the only natural
method and it has made cures that
seem miraculous. The complete outfit
costs but $1.00 and consists of an in
haler which will last a lifetime, and
sufficient Hyomei for several weeks
treatment. Additional bottle Of Hyo-
mel can be procured for Sec
Eowditch 6. Webster and Percy w.
Means give their personal guarantee
with every Hyomei outfit they sell to
refund the money if it does not cure.
There is no risk whatever to the pur-
chaser Of Hyomei.

date of the writ. and claimed that il
had a legal right SO to do by reason OF
it's ownership in fee of the south halt
of the town, and by virtue of permits
from the owners of the north half. 1t

Tense that the plaintiffs action was

CURED by them to the north half of the

In rebuttal the plaintiff introduced
further evidence tending to show that
! ia the time A. and P. Coburn conveyed
the whole town to A. and w. Sprague
in 1872 by deed of warranty they only
had recorded title to about One-fourth
| of it.
Thus while this action of troyer was
brought primarily to recover damages
for the conversion of the logs described
in the writ, the decision of the cause
necessarily involves the question of
title to the ownership from which the
logs We're taken.

made. reads as follows: when the

tor or employee of any rival concer!
for the period Of five years in the cit,
of Augusta, basing its claims on The
contract of the defendant not to so Ell
gage. The contract in question con-
tanned a clause providing that in the
event of a breach the defendant should
pay the petitioner 81 per day for. tn,
time he SO engaged. Justice White
house refused the injunction and the
case came before the full bench on
an agreed statement by the counsel.
Attorney Williamson for the petit
toner raised the point that it was d
question OF Interpretation of the con
tract. that unless the contract was such
that it clearly gave to the defendant
the option to SO engage that the option
must be with the petitioner as to the
remedy he might elect, that it was
not a question of whether the sum
named in the contract was intended as
a penalty Or iiquidated damages, but
that the real test was what was the
chief intention. if it was that the de-
PENDANT should not engage in BUSH
ness. then The petitioner must be en-
titled to an injunction to enforce that
claim.
Attorney Maher for the defendant.
DcBow. answered the position of At
torney Williamson by claiming that ii
was a question of the Interpretation o.
the contract and that where an agree
ment such as this had embodied in it
the payment Of d certain sum in lieu
of performance. that being Il part OF
the very contract. the court could not
make Il new agreement. and that the
defendant had a right to so engage
upon payment of the sum. Attorney
Maher further contended that for three
reasons the injunction should not be
first. the petitioner had not
claimed any injury emitting him to
relief; secondly, personal services of
A material CT mechanical nature such
as an ordinary laboring man. equity
would neither enforce or enjoin; third
~. that equity would never interfere
if there was a plain. adequate ana
complete remedy at law, that the sum
named in the contract being reason
able sum must under the Maine de-
cisions be interpreted as liquidatej
damages. and not as a penalty, and
that under a long line of decisions
the sum named was provision truly
intended as liquidated damages equity
would never interfere.
Counsel for both sides cited numer-
Jus authorities in support of the.
The point is a novel one
in this State.
