is completed. The bridge will be an
Improvement upon the old bridge.
particularly on account of the side
walks being two feet wider on each
side. Just why the bridge was
raised nearly foot higher than the old
one we cannot understand. 1t leaves
the approaches on both sides that

more filling and make the grade

We cannot understand just why it
was necessary to do this. Was it

v RELIEF QUICKLY.
Regular Use Of Hyomei Cures Most
Stubborn Case of Catarrh.

No other medicine gives sucl
prompt relief as Hyomei in the treat
ment OF catarrh.
The first breath Of this remedy
soothes and heals the irrltated and
smarting air passages, and the regular
use for a few days or weeks will cure
the most stubborn case. Some Of the
reports from those who have been
cured Of catarrh by Hyomei read like
miracles.
John 5. Gray, Of Richmond Hills,
Pa, writes: 81 am 50 years old and
have been a sufferer with catarrh in
the head for % or 80 years. | have
doctored with many specialists and
they all told me that the disease was
incurable on account of my age. After
using Hyomei a short time / was
greatly cured. II has been six months
since l stopped using the remedy and
| still remain cured
In nearly every town and village of
the country can be found those who
have been cured Of catarrh by Hyomei.
In Mexico there are probably over a
thousand people whose health has
been restored by this remarkable
treatment.
Woodbridge & Purdy have sold pack
age after package and every one has
been with their personal guarantee to
refund the money il it did not cure.
Only two outfits have been returned
and in each instance the money was
paid back without question.
You run no risk whatever in buying
and your word decides the
question IS to whether you pay for the
remedy or not.

The st. Louis * st. Paul viii be
financed by Philadelphia capitalists,
and it is said that enough money has
