CURES CATARRH.
"Hyomei the Most Wonderful Cure fol
Catarrh Ever Disc. Vered,'
Saws MAYOR Yard.

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 direct application that
will kill the bacilli of catarrh and pre-
vent their growth.
Hyomei is the only known method of
treatment that accomplishes this. 1t is
the simplest, most pleasant, and the only
absolute cure for catarrh that has ever
been discovered.
Thousands of unsolicited testimonials
have been received from the most prom
inent men and women in the country who
have been cured by this remarkable rem
edy. Ministers. bankers. lawyers. even
eminent physicians have sent strong tes-
timonials as TO the remarkable powers
of Hyomei TO cure catarrh.
Former Mayor Emory NJ. Yard, Of
Trenton. n. J., writes: You have my
permission to say that l believe 'Hyomei'
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. l enclose YOU money
order for two outfits for friends of mine
and who / am anxious shall have the
benefit of this remarkable panacea.'
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
sl.0o consisting of an inhaler, dropper
ard sufficient Hyomei TO last over a
month. This will effect a cure in ordi-
nary cases, but for chronic and deep
seated cases of catarrh. longer use is
necessary. and then extra bottles Of
Hyomei., Ca months treatmenO can be
obtained for fifty cents 1t is not alone
the best dt might be called the only
method of curing ca;arrh. but il is also
the most economical
The leading druggists have so much
confidence in the power of Hyomei TO
cure catarrh. that they will for a lin
tied time. sci this medicine under this per-
sonal guarantee TO refund the money il
the purchasers can say that it did not
help them.

SERVIAN MINISTRY
THROWN into PANIC
King Peters Arrival Is Anx-

MINISTERS ARE IN DILEMMA.

Russian and Austrian Demands For
the Punishment of the Aassassins

Great Uneasiness.
Belgrade, June 22.-The petition of
the ministry is becoming daily more
unenvtable in consequence of the Rus
sian and Austrian demands for the
punishment of the aSsassins of King
Alexander and Queen Draga. The
terms of the Russian note also caused
panic among the ministers, who are
anxiously awaiting the arrival of King
Peter to extricate them from their
dilemma. The war minister is the
paramount power in the minstery, as
he is backed by the entire army and
he threatens severe resentment in the
case OF any hint by a member of the
cabinet OF the punishment in
the case Of the conspirators
The promotions of officers sent from
Geneva are variously explained as eth
or intended as an open defiance or
as being the result of alarm caused by
the attitude of the army.
The foreign representatives who have
not been instructed are asking their
respective governments what attitude
they shall assume at the reception OF
King Peter. The Russian minister is
IN Quandary. He had resumed re.
lations with the provisional govern
ment when the car telegraphed his
recognition of King Peter, but the min.
lister takes the subsequent publication
of Russia's demand for punishment as
an indication that Russia will probably
order the suspension of relations with
the government until the murderers
are punished. Meanwhile the prep.
arations for the reception of King
Peter continue. A public holiday has
been proclaimed. ProvS<cial deputa.
tions are coming to Belgrade, free wine
and beer is to be provided by the gov.
ernment and the town is to be given
up to rejoicing.
