GERMAN SYRUP.

We want to impress on our read
ers that Boschee's German Syrup
is positively the only preparation
on the market to-day that does re-
lieve and cure consumption. Ii
contains the specific, such as pure
tar. extracts of gums, ETC., which
have been so highly endorsed for
the cure of coughs, colds and con-
sumption by the great medical con
crosses. The consumptive, whether
his disease is in the throat or lungs,
must have rest at night, and be
free from the spasm of dry and
racking cough in the morning. The
diseased parts want rest, healing
and soothing treatment, and the
patient needs fresh air, good food,
etc. German Syrup will give free
and easy eXpectOration in the
morning with speedy and perma-
nent relief. Small bottles, % cents +;
regular size, containing nearly four
times AS much, Is cents. At all
drugg SITS. yr.

VERMONT EIRES.

The barn of James Gordon situated
on his farm a short distance from
Wells River near the Passumpsic rail-
road tracks was burned to the ground
about II O'Clock at night April 20, de-
stroying p head OF cattle and pair of
horses.
Forest fires ragged On Mount Hunger
in the town of Worcester last week
and did considerable damage in the
destruction of lumber and standing
timber. The fire was set by Joseph
Emerson of Montpelier, who attempt
ed to burn the brush on potato patch
and the flames got beyond his control,
spreading over about two square miles
of territory.
The farm buildings and contents
owned by b. b. Cook near Berlin pond
were totally destroyed by fire the night
of April %. The buildings included
one large story-and-a-half house, ell
and woodshed, horse barn, two hay
barns, and one other large barn. The
house was unoccupied, as the owner
passes his winters in Barre, from
which place he had not returned. The
barns were full of hay, and the fire
was either incendiary or accidentally
set by tramps.
The two-story and ell farm house of
Mrs. o. X. Brittell in Weybridge was
burned May /. The fire caught
around the stove pipe where It entered
the chimney. Owing to the high north
wind that prevailed it was impossible
to save the building. The barns and
out-buildings. which were near, were
saved with a part of the household
furniture Mrs. Brittell lost a valuable
gold watch and go in money, as well
as a solid gold ring. Her husband,
the late o. X. Brittell, went to Cali
fornia in 40 and dug the gold from
which it was made. The loss was
$500, partly insured.
w. S. Noyes' residence near his
steam mill or Brooklyn" side in
Cambridge village was discovered to
be on fire April 80 and in short time
was burned to the ground, together
with the horse barn attached. Noyes'
loss will be about $4,000. There was
no insurance. The damage to the
house of Charles Wallace was about
$3.50, covered by insurance. Several
persons were badly burned fighting to
save adjoining buildings. Joseph
Roberts clothing caught fire and one
arm was burned. The fire started
from sparks from the steam mill fall
ing on the house roof.

No better proof can be given of the prev

Hundreds OF samples were handed out

SIXTEEN YEARS OF CATARRH
WelI-known Massachusetts Woman
Cured by Hyomei.

How TO cure catarrh has been a problem
in medicine for many years that was not
solved until the discovery OF Hyomei.
This remarkable treatment makes it pos
sible for any one to breathe an air at home
which is almost identical with that of the
Adirondacks, the Carolinas or other health
resorts where the air is impregnated with
healing balsams from health-giving trees
and plants.
Simply place a little Hyomei in the in
haler which comes with every outfit,
breathe il occasionally during the day and
benefit will be seen after its use for only
two or three times, while perseverance for
a few days or weeks will effect a complete
cure of even the worst case of catarrh.
Mrs. Elvira T.. A. Gibson, who holds a
responsible position in the great dry
goods store OF Jordan, Marsh a Co., Of
Boston, wrote in April; 81 had catarrh

+. r. Bryan has sold hundreds of
Hyomei outfits, consisting Of an inhaler,
a medicine dropper and a bottle OF Hyo-
mel, and with every purchase has given
his personal guarantee to refund the
money IL Hyomei did not cure. He will
still sell the treatment on that plan and
every catarrh sufferer ought to take ad-
vantage OF his fair proposition.
