cosrs NOTHING UNLESS CURED.
A Fair Offer Made by Percy w. Means
and Bowditch G. Webster to All Suf-
ferers from Catarrh.

Percy w. Means and Bowditch &c
Webster are selling IIyomei on plan
that has caused considerable talk
amongst their customers.
The plan is different from that fol-
lowed by other remedies, but the rem
edy itself is different also. This treat
ment for the cure of catarrh has such
an unusual record of cures to its credit
that Percy w. Means and Bowditch &
Webster offer to refund the money if
it does not give the desired benefit.
'rhis is certainly one of the fairest Of
fers that can be made, and any one
who has catarrh and does not take ad-
vantage or it is doing himself or her
self an injustice.
The Hyomei treatment consists of
an inhaler that can be carried in the
vest pocket a medicine dropper and a
bottle of Hyomei. The complete treat
ment costs but $1.00 and as the inhal-
er will last lifetime and there is suf-

use, the medicine is very inexpensive.
Many people who have used it write
that for the good Hyomei has done
them they would willingly pay thou
sands of dollars.
Extra bottles of Hyomei can be pro-
cured for use with the inhaler at soc
Do not suffer any longer with tick

who have catarlh. Hyomei will cure
you. but If you should not find it adapt
ed t. your case, Percy w. Means and
Bowtlitch & Webster will return your
money.

Different Glasses
for Different Eyes

Why does not the same pair of

the same reason that the same pair
of trousers will not fit all men.-
Difference in length of the pyeball
requires difference in strength Of
the spectacle lens. Just the same
as difference in length Of mems
legs requires that trousers should
be made of various lengths. We

SOME QUEER NOTIONS.
Odd Beliefs About Animals THAI
Were Held ny Our Ancestors.

Odd Beliefs About Animals That
Were Held by Our Ancestors.
Our respected ancestors had some
queer notions in regard to natural his
tory. Old Sir Thomas Browne, in his
inquiries Into Vulgar and Common
Errors" discusses many of these. That
q brock or badger hath the legs on II
side shorter than on the other he
says. though an opinion perhaps not
very ancient, is yet very general This
belief was received not only by theO-
rists, but by most of those who had
daily opportunity TO behold and hunt
them; yet Sir Thomas could not ac-
cept this belief. because it seemed mo
easy atfront into reason and generally
r%epugnant unto the courSe of nature"
Wherever he looked he saw that the
limbs of animals on The opposite sides
Of their bodies were of the same length
and number and that none of them had
an odd leg. One would think that the
question might have been put beyond
cavil by simply measuring the limbs
of the animal, but perhaps they never
thought of that.
The worthy knight. however, could
accept the basilisk. though it dOes not
seem that he ever saw one and did not
question its power to kill by "inflicting
its eye as old DIR. parr would have
expressed it. upon its enemy. And
why not? '.'For if plaques or pestilen-
tial atoms have been conveyed in the
air from different regions. if men at a
distance have infected each other, II
the shadows Of some trees be noXious,
II toIpetocs deliver their opium at a
distance and stupefy beyond them
selves. we cannot reasonably deny" he
says. that there may proceed from
subtler seeds more agile emanaticns,
which contemn those laws and invade
at distance unexpected" But there
was a limit to the credulity of Sir
Thomas. and as for the generation of
the basilisk. that ut proceedeth from
a cocks egg Matched under a toad or Il
serpent" he thought it a conceit as
monstrous as the brood itself.-Eorest
and Stream.
