DO NOT DOSE The STOMACH.
Cure catarrh by Natures Own Method
Every Breath Of Hyomei Brings
Relief

Nearly every one who has catarrh
knows how foolish it is to try and cure
it by drugging the stomach. Temper
ary relief may be given, but a cure sell
dom comes.
Until recently your physician would
have said the only way to cure catarrh
would be to have change of climate;
but now with Hyomei you can carry a
health giying .,climate in your vest
pocketnn by breathing it a few min
utes four times day soon cure your
self. Aa ~ -
The complete outfit of Hyomei costs
but $1.00. and consists of an inhaler
that can be carried in the vest pocket,
a medicine dropper and a bottle of Hy-
omei. The inhaler lasts lifetime,
and there is enough Hyomei for more
than months treatment of catarrh.
If one bottle does not cure, an extra
bottle of Hyomei can be obtained for
so cents 1t is the most economical of
all remedies advertised for the cure of
catarrh, and is the only one that fol-
lows nature in her method of treat
ing diseases of the respiratory organs.
Percy w. Means and Bowditch &
Webster have sold hundreds of Hyomei
OUTFITS and the more they sell, the more
convinced they are that they are per-
fectly safe in guaranteeing to refund
the money if Hyomei does not cure.
Those who are subject to catarrh or
catarrhal colds will do themselves an
injustice if they do not purchase Hy-
omei outfit at once so as to be pre-
pared for the sudden changes of the
season.

A NOTABLE SOCIAL EVENT.
The Brilliant Reception at the Home of
Hon. J. n. Manley.

BY one of the oversights that occa-
sionally occur in the haste of rushing
newspaper together under special
pressure the report of the brilliant leg
islative reception at the residence of
Hon. j. II. Manley, Wednesday even
ing, failed to appear in our issue of
yesterday morning. 1t is needless to
say that it was not only largely at
tended and notable social event but
one that was thoroughly enjoyed by all
his legislative colleagues and their
ladies, who We're present. Senator
Manley's home is a spacious one, ad-
n1irably adapted for the entertainment
of large number of guests, and both
he and his accomplished daughters, are
admirably fitted to dispense gracious
and generous hospitality.
There We're only words of praise and
appreciation for the successful reeep-
ton of Wednesday evening, which will
justly rank as one of the distinct and
notable social triumDhs, of specially
social legislative winter.

The Prudentias's Great Showinc.

In reading the twenty seventh an
nual statement of The Prudential In
surance Company, one is impressed
with the solid and substantial ad-
vances which the company has made
during the past year. The magnitude
of The Prudentials operations are
shown by the fact that over two
hundred and seventy-two millions of
new life insurance was written and
paid for during 1902, increasing the
amount of paid-for insurance in force
to over eight hundred million dollars.
Every means has been taken to make
progress along the most substantial
lines. and back of all it's contracts there
stands sixty million dollars of assets
with surplus exceeding nine millions.
The total income of the company dur
ing the year was over thirty three
million dollars. The value of this in
stitution to the public in indicated by
the fact that over nine million dollars
were paid to policy holders during the
year-thiS makes a total of nearly
sixty eight million dollars paid to
policy-holders since the organization of
the company, tWentyseven years ago
The company reports that the years
business was conducted with marked
reduction in expense rate and increased
amount of dividends to policy holders,
particularly in the ordinary depart
ment. Altogether the annual exhibit
of The Prudential is one of which it's
officers and policy holders may we'll
be proud, and which will undoubtedly
result in increasing the high conf
dence and esteem in which this great
company is held by the public who hold
nearly five million of it's policies.

The work of decorating City hall
going on steadily. and the lighting
arrangements are nearly completed.
While much yet remains to be done II
the way of decoration, it can be easily
seen that on the evening of the
Governors reception the hall will
present d most beautiful and unique
appearance. Festoons of many colored
lights are swung from the chan
deliers to the top of the rods
supporting the balcony. and to the
corners of the stage and the balcony,
and the stage is festooned in the same
way. Along the lower edge of the ball
cony is a row of lights with ground
glass lamps, and all the wires holding
the lights are wound with red and
white bunting. The chandeliers have
been fitted with new lamps and present
a most brilliant spectacle. The bali
ance of the decorative work will be
commenced next week by O. H.
Groves, and will consist largely of
bunting and the national co,ors. On the
stage, in addition to the lights and
bunting, an artistic grouping of ever
green trees will add materially to
the beauty of the scene. Nothing
like these decorations have heretofore
been attempted at City hall, and it
will without doubt produce the most
brilliant effect ever seen in the city.
