STRONG EVIDENCE OF PATH
Woodbridge & Purdy Guarantee that
Hyomei VIII Cure the Worst Case
Of Catarrh in Mexico.

When one ofthe most reputable con-
Germs in Mexico guarantees that a
medicine VII effect a cure or they viii
retain the money, It speaks volumes
as 70 the merits Of the remedy. 1t is
in this way that Woodbridge s Purdy
are selling HyOmei, the treatment that
has made 50 many remarkable cures
OF both acute and chronic cases Of
catarrh in Mexico and vicinity.
Hyomei is not a pill nor is it a
liquid that has to be taken with a
tablespoon or wineglass. Just breathe
1t in by the aid Of al inhaler that
comes IN every outfit and benefit will
be seen from the first treatment
IL destroys all germ life In the air
passages and lungs and enriches and
putlties the blood with additional
ozone. II cures caiarrh Of the head
and throat, or of the stomach, liver
and kidneys Wherever mucous
membrane contains eatarral germs,
there Byonei viii do its work Of heal
ing. When using this treatment, the
air you breathe win be found like that
on the mountains high above the sea
level where grow halsamic trees and
plants which make the air pure by
giving on volatile ~antiseptic fragrance
that is healing to the respiratory
organs.
Remember that II HyomeI does not
cure you Woodbridge & Purdy will re-
fund your money. This is a good time
70 cure catarrh by this natural method
and prevent catarrhal colds that are
50 common at this season.

THERE IS UNITY
THERE is STRENGTH
BY MRS. J. W. BoLEs.

Realizing the need Of a more
thorough awakening on the part Of
the christian people Of Mexico TO do
the work OF our Lord, Mrs. Hughes,
our beloved leader, with only about
two or three helpers conceived the
thought Of our women pledging a
combined effort in this direction.
With this a purpose our Women's
Union Prayer Meeting was organized
May 16, 1902.
Last Friday, May Is, 1908, we were
called upon TO set up our first mile
stone, and take a retrospective view
Of our efforts and success. What our
individual effort has been in this work
we each know, and we may each, in a
measure, tell the influence OF this
united effort upon our own life, but
who car define the limits OF the good
accomplished by the many earnest
prayers and words OF testimony and
encouragement that have gone out
from the hearts Of these anxious wives,
mothers and sisters who have come
together week after week with aspirit
Of devotion to our Masters business.
This is truly a union meeting, for
to-day every church Of our town is
represented by those who attend and
ii is the property Of each christian
woman in Mexico If it be her will to
become n Of Us in this work.
In the past year we have held fifty
two meetings with a total attendance
Of eight hundred and forty-nine; max
ing an average of about seventeen.
Considering the number Of stormy
Fridays we have had during the past
winter and spring, we feel that an
average attendance Of seventeen
means something.
We have had twenty-six homes and
one church opened TO US. Thirteen
meetings have been held in homes Of
Presbyterians, eight in home Of
Baptist, one in Christian, and one in
Episcopalein home, three in NJ. E.
church homes and twenty-six in NJ. E.
Church, South, homes. -Four and one
half dollars aud a box of provisions
have been given 10 one In need.
The sufferers from the c. & A. z. r.
wreck, who we're In our town last
summer, received especial attention
from our ladies.
We are often made TO rejoice by
words Of greeting and encouragement
that come from those who have met
with US during the year just past.
Many Of these are nov in other states
but write 10 tell OF the blessed in
duence Of these meetings upon their
lives and to bid US Godspeed in our
labor Of faith and love.
May we be kept in tune with the
Infinite and by our c~onsecrated
patience and labors be enabled 10 ac-
;omplish far greater things for our
in the coming year.

Posse at Millersburg, No, Engages an
Intruder and One Man is
Wounded.

COLUMBIA, Mo, May 16.-A tramp
robber, who was perhaps looking for
no more than a square meal, fought a
bloody pistol battle with a posse Of
five men at MillerSburg, twelve miles
east Of Columbia, last night and
escaped, after w%oundlng one OF them.
At 10 O'Clock a citizen Of Millersburg
noticed a light In the post Office, just
across the street from his residence,
and notified an organization known
as ''the committee Of safety They
turned out heavily armed, and, enter
ing the postofice, ordered the intrud-
er to surrender. He replied with five
shots, and L. T. Carr fell with 4 bull
let in his leg.
The citizens fired thirty shots, each
emptying his revolver, Carr firing as
he fell. The robber escaped. 1t was
found that the only thing he got away
with was a box Of crackers and some
canned goods In the poStoffice build
ing. An hour later he stole a $500
horse from a farmer three miles north
OF the postofice and made good his
escape. Bloodhounds were put on the
trail ofthe robber this morning.
