CURES cATARRH
"Hyomei, the Most Wonde rfui
Cure for Catarrh Ever Discov-
cred" Says Mayor Ward.

Do not try to cure catarrh by taking drugs
into the stomach; It cannot be cured in that
manner. The only way in which this too
common disease can be cured is through q
direct application that viii kill the baciiH
of catarrh and prevent their growth.
Hyomei is the only known method Of
treatment that accompIishes this. 1t is the
simplest, most pleasant and the only abso-
lutte cure for catarrh that has ever been
discovered.
Thousands Of unsolicited testimonials have
been received from the most prominent men
and women In the country who have been
bankers, l~wyers, even eminent physicians
have sent strong testimonials as to the re-
markable powers of Hyomei to cure catarrh.
Former Mayor Emory ". Ward Of Trenton,
n. J.. writes: '.You have my permission 70
say that believe Hyomef to be one of the
most wonderful cures for catarrh and throat
trouble that has ever been discovered. In
my case the effect has been marvellous. /
,nc,ose you money order for two outfits for
friends of mine TO whom have recommend
ed .Hyomei and who 1 am anxious shall
have the benefit Of this remarkable pana-
cea."
The leading druggists Of this eity have %
much confidence In the power OF Hyomei to
cure catarrh, that they viii sell IT under an
absolute guarantee to refund the money II
the purchaser can say that II did not help.

81 hired girl to mind the chill
dren and to do whatever else she
could. couldn't stay in bed long.
Sick as I was, it was easier for me
to crawl around than to lie and
worry about my little ones. So
1 got up after a few days, and let
the girl go. I had noticed that she
had sores on her face, hands and
arms, but paid no attention to that
until Charlie, my youngest, began to
pick and scratch himself. He was
then ten months old, and the girl
had paid more attention to him than
to any Of the others. Charlie was fret
full and cross, but as he was cutting
teeth, didn't think much of that.
Even when a rash broke out on his
face I wasn't frightened, because
everybody knows that that is quite
common with teething babies. Sew
eral of my others had it when little,
and 1 thought nothing about it.
. "But the rash on Charles poor
little face spread to his neck, chest,
and back. l had never seen any
thing quite like it before. The skin
rose in little Jumps, and matter
came out. My baby's skin was hot,
and how he did suffer! He wouldn't
eat, and night after night 1 walked
the floor with him, weak as was.
Often l had to stop because I felt
faint and my back throbbed with
pain. But the worst pain of all was
to see my poor little boy burning
with those nasty sores.
81 believed he had caught some
disease from the girl, but some of
the neighbors said he had eczema,
and that is not catching, they told
me. Yes, gave him medicine, and
put salves and things on him. I
don't think they were all useless.
Once in while the itching seemed
to let up a bit, but there was not
much change for the better until
lady across the street asked me why
: didn't try the Cuticura Remedies.
1 told her l had no faith in those
things you read about in the papers.
She said she didn't want me to go
on faith nor even to spend any
money at first. She gave me some

1t was Sir Walter Raleigh who brought
potatoes into Ireland at the same time
he brought the other American prod
uct, tobacco. Sir Walter was busily
engaged in expressing the people about
Cork, so naturally, when he planted
the potato on his estate at Youghai,
near Cork, the people were suspicious
of 1t despite its palatableness. Cob
bett cursed the root as being the ruin
of Ireland, declaring it device of Sax
on ingenuity brought into their midst
to tempt and eventually to weaken
them. Sir Walter ate quantities of po-
tatoes himself before he could assure
the people of their harmlessness. Now,
with commendable gratitude, the tour
list is shown the very spot in the gar
den where Sir Walter planted the pota-
to root. Close by it is another historic
