The democrats in the legislature

DO NOT DOSE THE STOMACH
Cure Catarrh by Natures Own Method
Ev.,ry Breath of HyomeI Brings Relief.

Nearly everyone who has catarrh
knows how foolish il is to try and
cure it by dragging the stomach.
Temporary relief may be given. but
Il cure seldom comes.
Until recently your physician would
have said the only way TO cure ca
tarrh would be TO have change of
climate: but now with Hyomei YOU
your vest pocket and by breathing it
a few minutes four times a day soon
cure yourself.
The complete outfit of Hyomei costs
but 81 and consists of an inhaler that
can be carried in the vest pocket, a
medicine droPper and a bottle of Hyo-
mel. The inhaler lasts a lifetime, and
there is enough Hyomei for more
than Il months treatment of catarrh.
If one bottle does not cure, an extra
bottle of Hyomei can be obtained for
so cents. 1t is the most economical
of all remedies advertised for the
cure of catarrh. and is the only one
that follows nature in her method of
treating diseases of the respiratory
organs.
r. II. Thomas has sold hundreds of
Hyomei outfits and the more he sells
the more convinced he is that he is
perfectly safe in guaranteeing to re-
fund the money if Hyomei does not
cure.
Those who are subject to catarrh
or catarrhal colds will do themselves
an injustice if they do not purchase
Hyomei outfit at once so as to be
prepared for the sudden changes of
the season.

HEALTH is WEALTH.

GOOD HEALTH is the soil from
which springs flowers of mental, ply
steal and spiritual loneliness. From it
grows, with luXuriant naturalness,
self-consciousness, cheerfulness, am
bition and energy. The man who has
youth in his heart, pure blood in his
veins and cheerfulness, ambition, en-
ergy and self-confidence in his make
up,is worth more to himself, his fam
lily. his friends and his country, than
is the broken-down millionaire with
all his wealth. Man enters the world
with nothing. his entire life is spent
in strife for gold, always to the detri-
1nent and often to the destruction of
HEALTH, HAPPINESS AND MAN
HOOD, which are his most valuable
possessions.
