STRONGEST EVIDENCE OF FAITH
Bowditch & Webster and Percy w.
Means Guarantee That Hyomei Will
Cure the Worst Case of Catarrh in
AUGUSTA.

When two of the most reputable con-
cerns in Augusta guarantee that a
medicine will effect a cure or they will
refund the money. it speaks volumes as
to the merits of that remedy. 1t is in
this way that Bowditch & Webster and
Percy w. Means are selling Hyomei
the treatment that has made so many
remarkable cures of both acute and
chronic catarrh in Augusta and
vicinity
Hyomei is not pill nor is it a liquid
that has to be taken with a tablespoon
or wineglass. Just brathe it by the aid
of an inhaler that comes in every outfit
and benefit will be seen from the first
treatment.
1t destroys all germ life in the air
passages and lungs and enriches and
purifies the blood with additional ozone.
1t cures catarrh of the head and throat,
or of the stomach. liver and kidneys.
Wherever mucous membrane contains
catarrhal germs, there Hyomei will do
its work of healing. When using this
treatment, the air you breathe will be
found like that on the mountains high
above the sea level, where grow
balsamic trees and plants which make
the air pure by giving off volatile
antiseptic fragrance that is healing to
the respiratory organs.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but
S1.OO, and includes an inhaler. dropper
and sufficient Hyomei for several weeks
treatment.
Remember that if Hyomei does not
cure you, Bowditch & Webster and
Percy w. Means will refund your
money. This is good time to cure
catarrh by this natural method and
prevent catarrhal colds that are so
common at this season.

habit of sitting, and in the kitchen was
a cot bed, where she was accustomed
to lie down.
So far as her movements can be
traced, she seems to have run to the
easy chair and tried to extinguish the
flames by sitting down in it. The chair
was found nearly burned up, and the
floor was badly charred where the
burning pieces of the chair had fallen;
one place was burned through. Her
next move was to run either to the sink
in the pantry or the cot bed. The water
in the sink was turned on and it was
overlooked when found, while the
woodwork at the front was charred
as if someone on fire had stood against
it. Finally, the bed was nearly burned
up when found and she had probably
tried to stifle the flames in the bed
clothes. The body was found drawn
up on the floor between the bed and
the door leading to the street, as if at
the last effort she had tried to reach
it and fallen on the way. The clothing
was entirely burned away and the flesh
burned and charred almost beyond
recognition. The sight was one never

BURNED TO DEATH.
Terrible Death of Mrs. Lucy A.
Bruce, Friday Noon.
Clothes Caught Fire as She Was
Getting Dinner.
Found Dead in Kitchen by Neishbor
Who Called.

The entire city of Augusta was
shocked, yesterday afternoon, to learn
OF the awful death of Mrs Lucy A.
Bruce, at the home Of her son, Warren
Bruce, % Middle street. Mrs Bruce
was an elderly lady, 70 years of age,
and kept house for her son. Her health
mad not been good for some time, and
her son had been looking for some one
to stay with her and assist her in her
work. Had he been able to find anyone
she would not have been alone, yester-
ca noon. and probably the terrible ac-
cidert would never have occurred.
The last time Mrs. Bruce was seen
alive was at 11.10s yesterday forenoon,
when the delivery clerk of the fish mar
ket called there. Just about noon, Mrs.
Gilbert, who lives directly across the
street, went into the Bruce house on an
errand. AS she opened the kitchen
door she was met with an outburst of
stiff1ing smoke, and as it cleared she
saw Mrs. Bruce's dead body, burned
almost to a crisp, lying on the floor. AL
most overcome by the sight, she hast
ened to give the alarm.
An alarm of fire had already been

school children going by the house, had
noticed that it was full of smoke and
that smoke was coming out. They
loked into the window and saw flames
inside. They then ran to box 43 to ring
in the alarm, but were unable to man
age it. G. A. Colburn, who was pass
ing, rang it in for them, the whistle
sounding at 1904. There was no fire
when the department arrived however,
as the neighbors, who had assembled
had thrown out everything that was
burning. The ''all out rang at 1881.
No one will ever know how the fire
started or what caused the terrible
accident. Mrs. Bruce had apparently
been lighting a fire to prepare dinner
and in some way her clothes caught
fire, burning her to death, helpless and
alone The kitchen in which her body
was found is in an ell added to the
house and is connected by doors with
the dining room in the house. the pam

the door opening into the dining room
and the one opening into the pantry.

Hon. f. o. Beal, of Bangor chairman
OF the state cattle commission, says
there has been an increase this year
in the number of cases of CHAMBERS
reported to the board. While there
have been no large and valuable herds
killed as was the case last year never
theless the number of cases is larger.
The cases reported have been isolated
ones and found in places where they
were least expected.
In greatmaj ority of cases they have
been found among blooded cattle on ac-
count of whose high breeding have been
thought to be above suspicion of the
disease and were not tested. The COM
missioners say that all the trouble
has come from importing blooded cattle
| in the past without thorough inspec-
ton and by that means has spread the
| Infection.
Under the present system of inspec-
ton of cattle coming into the state ii
is almost impossible for the disease tc
be brought in by imported cattle as
they are thoroughly tested for the dis
ease and pass the required test before
the permit becomes operative for then
II to enter.

AMERICAN apples are very popular in Europe, and bring good prices. This country is sending over there shiploads, which will have a tendency to in- crease the price to the consumer on this side, but the money that will come back will help to ex- tend the period of prosperity and enrich the fruit growers. We can all afford to pay a little more for our daily necessities if the increase gees into the pockets of those who trade with us, and who will thus have more money to spend. When the tillers of the soil are prosperous we need have no fear about the welfare of the rest of mankind.
