Pleasant Way to Cure catarrh--Dangerous
Stomach Dragging Avoided by Using
Ryomei.


One of the advantages of treating ca
tarrh by. Hyonei. the famous sbrcat thing
treatment for this disease, is the fact that
noticeable Improvement is seen in the
first days use. 1t is the only natural and
ra tional way to cure catarrh.
This.disease cannot be cured by the Use
of pills tablets. liquid medicines and So
called system tonics. Under such treat
ment the germs of catarrh will live in the
air passages and increase and multiply.
Hyonlei cures catari'h by a new principle.
by breathing balsamic air. 1t is not alone
the only positive cure ever discovered for
this disease. but it is also the pleasantest
method of treatment.
The outfit consists of an inhaler that
can be carried in the purse or vest pocket,
medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyo-
mel the total cost being 81. The inhaler
will last lifetime while there is enough
Hyomei for more than months use.
Simply drop a little of the Hyomei into
the inhaler and breathe through it for
few minutes four or five times a day. The
air filed with the balsamic healing of
Hyomei enters the air passages OF the
lungs, killing the disease germs. soothing
the irritated membrane and effecting a
permanent cure.
If Hvomei should chance to fail in Your
case. ask Your druggist to return Your
money and he will do so without question.
What other treatment for catarrh or ca
tarrhal colds was ever sold before on this

USE. !! OF QUOTATIONS
Preliminary Round in the Chicago
Board Of Trade-Coe Com
mission Go. Case.
Board Is After = Restraining Order
Pending Hearing Of Main
Case

. Arguments began this morning before
Judge Lochren OF the United States cir
cult court in the action brought "a year
ago by the Chicago Board OF Trade to
prevent the Coe Commission company Of
this city from using the continuous quot
ations Of sales made on the Chicago board.
The plaintiff filed It's bill OF complaint
March q, 1902.
to secure a preliminary injunction for
bidding the defendant to use the quota
itions concerned. The board of trade is
represented by Henry Robbins Of Chica-
go and George p. Wilson of this city; the
commission company by William A. Ian
caster and Charles Donnelly of Mime
apolis.
Authorities were quoted at great length
by Mr. Robbins in support of his assertion
that the Chicago board has a property
right to it's quotations. He also attacked
the point made by the defendant in its
answer, that It had not used the quota
tionssl here since the first OF. the present
year. s2z.i'
Z. This fact, insisted Mr.. Robbins, was no
defense as against the Issuance Of per-
manent injunction and should not be con-
sidered an argument against a. preliminary
injunction, inasmuch as the attorneys for
both sides had already prepared, by stipu-
lation,sj exhaustive arguments. that would
be equally important whether a prelimin-
airy or a permanent injunction was in
