STRONGEST EVIDENCE OF FAITH.
Geo. w. StansfieId Guarantees That
Hyomei Will Cure the Worst Case
of Catarrh in Topeka.

When one of the most reputa BILE
druggists in Topeka guarantees that a
medicine will effect a cure or he will
refund the money. it speaks volumes as
to the merits of that remedy. 1t is in
this way that Geo. ". Stansdeld is sell
ing Hyomei the treatment that has
made so many remarkable cures of
both acute and chronic cases of ca
tatrh in Topeka and vicinity.
Hyomei is not a. pill nor is it a liquid
that has to be taken with a tablespoon
or wineglass. Just breathe it by the aid
of an Inhaler that comes in every out
fit and benefit will be seen from the
first treatment.
It destroys all germ life in the air
passages and lungs and enriches and
purifes the blood with additional ozone.
It cures catarrh of the head and throat,
or of the stomach. liver and kidneys.
Wherever mucous membrane contains
catarrhal germs, there IIyomei 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 balsam-
ic trees and plants which make the air
pure by giving off volatile antiseptic
fragrance that is healing to the respira-
tory organs.
Remember that if Hyomei does not
cure you. Geo. ". StansfieId will refund
your money. This is a good stine to
cure catarrh by this natural method
and prevent catarrhal colds that are
50 common at this season.

nounced it nothing more nor less than

ne president isn't a spellbinder. He
can raise goose-fesh on his hearers
ny the mere influence of sonorous
sounds and rapidly spoken words He
doesn't roar at his hearers. Neither
does he spit on the man nearest him
while he Kisses tragic sentence
through his teeth The president doesn't
play with his voice piano He could
make a Fourth of July address and
never disturb the tail feathers of the
American eagle. He has an awkward
way of hammering himself on the leg
to emphasize a pOint-a gesture that is
not recognized in any of the standard
text books on elOcutiOn
And it may as well be admitted that
Roosevelt is a Door excuse for an elo-
cutionist- Roosevelt would rather say
one sentence that means something
than recite whole paragraph that has
no other purpose than to exercise the
rising and falling infections of the
voice He would sooner stand bent for
ward hammering two fingers of one
hand into the palm of the other and
AAC% say AAAS Il WOIAts uIlll LG Is certain
that everybody is ready to hear and
grasp the meaning of what he has
ready to say. He prefers to use a
homely phrase, so that it accurately ex-
presses his meaning rather than deco
rate his effort with the rarest flowers
of OratOry.
Roosevelt isn't much of an orator,
probably, but when he has finished
speaking his hearers carry away some
thing else besides the recollection of a
voice that rose and fell and shrieked
and whispered in faultless compliance
with the rules of oratory''
