The ONLY institution of the kind in
the world.
We present herewith an interior
view of the Nashville Colored Sanitar-
ium, an institution conducted on the
same lines as the famous Battle Creek
Sanitarium- With a corps of compe-
tent physicians and nurses, an excel
lent equipment and facilities for pro-
viding a regulated dietary, this insti-
tuition is prepared TO give such service
as has long been needed among the
cOlored people. Located in a promi
nent southern city, it is easily accessi-
bic. 1t is already becoming favorably
known among our leading people.
This Sanitarium has well regulat-
ed bath room, provided with facilities
for giving thorough and carefully regu-

that Nashville is the home of more Ne

United States. Withal, Nashville is

ferred upon her by the meeting of the
National Negro Business League. Fol

was rapid and is was not long before
he was considered one of the best in
his class. He graduated with honor
from the College Department in 1887
After leaving school, he took up his
work as teacher in the city schools OF
Nashville. So acceptable was his ser
vice to the Board of Education that
he never filed any position longer
than two years, except the one which
he now holds, that Of principal of
the Pearl High School, which place he
has ably filled for the past eight years.
Prof. Smith devotes his whole life and
study to the upbuilding of his school.

contrast to many of our leading men,
who are fond of stringing to their
names multiduinous titles Prof. Smith
never attaches a degree to his name.
Besides being a polished scholar,
Prof Smith has proved to be an ora

graduating class are eloquent and in

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Special.-A city
is not to be judged by its piles of
brick and stone, its hordes of wealth,
it's flashing display of apparent pos
sessions, nor is it to be judged by the
number of it's inhabitants, for all these
things are transient. But the strength,
the real enduring worth of such a city
must be determined by the character
of its constituents; the calibre, the in
tellect, the spiritual quality, as it were,
of the men in whose hands its destiny
lies. Hence, the truest history, the
most truthful picture, of any city is
that of the individuals thereof.
Nashville, Tenn, where the 4th an
nual session of the National Negro
Business League is to be held, stands
out conspicuous for two reasons. First,
the interest the country has in the
The colored American., 1903-08-22

League, and second, the Importance
of the city. Nashville is the Athens of
the South so far as the Negro is con-
cerned. Here the race has three Of
the best schools in the country, Wal
don, Roger Williams and Fisk Univer
sities. The greatest Negro Medical
School in the United States, Maharry,
which has graduated more cOlored ply
sicians than all the others together.
Nashville public schools stand high in
point of excellence, having over 5000
colored children, taught by about Go
teachers. Here We find the two pub
fishing houses of the Baptist and A. NJ

church houses grace the city. There
are four drug stores, one steam

stable, a good many groceries and res
taurants, one wholesale Junk dealer,

TRUE PREVENTIVE OF HAY FEVER.
Hyomei destroys Germs OF the Disease
and Keep People Well.

anu Acep feOpie W eus
There can be little or no doubt as to
hay fever being germ disease. 1t ia
TOO, one disease where prevention is
much easier than cure,
All who are subject to this disagreed.
BILE trouble, should use Hyomei daily
for at least two or three weeks before
the time OF their annu Il attack. In this
way the annoying paroxysms of sneez.
lEg, running at the ose and watery
ana smarting eyes can be avoided.
This remarkable discovery makes Il
possible for anyone to breathe air at
nome which is almost identical with
that OF the Adirondacks or White Noun
talns or other resorts where hay fever
sufferers go to escape their trouble.
III however, Hyomei has not been
used until the disease has begun, il is
necessary to use it more frequently, at
least half a dozen times daily, and Hyo-
mel balm should be rubbed into the
nostrils both morning and night. This
treatment will relieve at once and will
erect cure in nearly every case.
Az Van Glider has a complete line
of the Hyomei goods and will sell an
outfit OF inhaler, Hvomei and medicine
dropper for 81 90 and will also agree to
refund the money II the treatment does
not give satisfaction.
Do not try to cure hay fever by dosing
the tomach. Breathe Hyomei and in
that way the medication win reach the
minutest air cells in the noe, throat
aRd lungs, soothe and heal the irritated
mucous membrane, and prevent and
cure all hay fever troubles.
