FROM THE COUNTY JAIL.
Captain j. 2. sperry Writes of His
Experiences.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
1 am now sojOurning in Hotel Reed,
otherwise known as the Ottawa county
Jail. AS everything is so quiet, espe-
cialy as the door is locked. the time
passes very slowly. I thought it would
not be out of the way should 1 give
the readers of the State Journal a part
of my life history, commencing in my
boy hood days and closing with the
18th of October, 1908, at which time
was arrested by Sheriff Grant Reed for
selling intoxicating liquors contrary to
the laws OF the state of Kansas. AS
q bow was not a paragon of morality
or given to staying away from the
river on SUNDAYS. My father was a
deacon in the Presbyterian church and
an excellent man. At Is years of age
I was bound out to learn the black
smiths trade. After 1 had got so I
could shoe a horse and help my bond
master, 1 made up my mind that
working for my board did not pay, so
ran away eleven miles and hired out to
help blacksmith turn horseshoes at
$12 per month While striking one day
to turn a shoe over the horn of the
anvil that had been broken and mend

catarrh cannot be cured unless these
germs are first destroyed. The Hyomei
even in the minutest air cells, soothes
and heals the irritated mucous mem
brane and makes complete and lasting
cures in cases that have resisted the
usual methods of treatment
Catarrh cannot be cured by med
icines administered through the stom-
ach. HyOmei is the only natural
method. and it has made cures that
seem miraculous. The outfit costs but

last a lifetime and sufficient Hyomei

tional bottles of Hyomei can be pro-
cured for zoe.
Geo. W. Stansfield, druggist 632
Kansas avenue. gives his personal
guarantee with every Hyomei outfit
he sells to refund the money if it does
not cure. There is no risk whatever
to the purchaser of Hyomei.

In advertising that they viii refund
the money to any one purchasing a
Hyomei outfit who can say that it has
done them no good in the treatment
Of catarrh, Geo. W. Stansfield means
exactly what the guarantee says.
OF course the percentage of cures
by Hyomei is nearly one hundred or
else he could not afford to make this
unusual offer. But if the treatment
should not be adapted to your case there

you go to get your money.

What is CATARRH :?
Hyomei Cures this Common and Dis
agreeable Disease.

Hyomei cures catarrh by the simple
method of breathing it into the air
passages and lungs. It kills the germs
of catarrhal poison, heals and soothes
the trritated mucous membrane, enters
the blood with the oxygen and kills the
germs present there, effectually driving
this disease from the system.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
&100 and comprises an inhaler, a bottle
of Hyomei and a dropper The inhaler
win last lifetime; and additional bot
ties of Hyomei can be obtained for 50c
