ONLY TO BREATHE 1T That sAll YonHave to Do With Hyonei. Simple. but Will Surely Cure Your Catarrh. First Days Use of it Will Show Improvement. Cures Colds, Coughs. ca- tarrh. Grip, and Prevents Pneumonia---Money
 Back if 1t Fails.

Hyomei is natures own method for cur ing caIarrh, colds. coughs and diseases or the respiratory organs. 1t Is the only na- tural treatment for the cure of these troubles.
 Breathed through the neat pocket in- haler that comes with every outfit. the ar that pass .s into the throat and lungs, is identical with that on the mountains, where it is laden with healing and health giving balsams. It searches out and kills disease germs in the most remote eand minute air cells of the head, throat and lungs, it soothes and heals all irri tation of the mucous membrane.
 Hyomei is prescribed by physicians gen. erally Many of them use 1t themselves to freak up a cold and prevent pneu- monias
 The complete Hyomei outfit consists of a neat inhaler. that is so small and con- venient that 1t can be carried in the pock- ct or purse. a medicine dropper and bot tie of Hyomei This costs but N, and it will cure any ordinary case of catarrh In chronic and deep-seated conditions longer use is necessary and extra bottles of Hyomei can be obtained for 50c., malk- ing it most economical treatment for this disease.
 E. c. Fowler, Druggist has so much confidence in the power of Hyomei to cure catarrh and other diseases of the throat and lungs that he sells it under his per sonal guarantee to refund the money tc any purchaser in case 1t fails to give sat. 5 isfaction. He takes all the risk himself and Hyomei costs you absolutely noth. ing unless it does you good.

TO SINGERS AND PUBLIC
 SPEAKERS.

E. G. Fowler Urge Th&m To Use
 Hyomei. Willing to sell it on Ap-
 proval.
 A new and specially valuable use for Hyomei has been discovered, one that will be particularly welcomed by singers and public speakers.
 The free use of Hyomei, breathed through the inhaler that comes with every outfit. carries healing balsams to the head and throat, and strengthens the voice. E. G. Fowler Druggist, has had several of his customers speak to him in regard to the good effects following the use of Hyomei for this special purpose, and will be glad to sell it on approval to any singer, minister, teacher. or public speaker.
 He feels sure that the use of Hyomel for this purpose will make many new friends for the treatment. If it does not give satisfaction. the money paid will be returned promptly and without question,
 The complete Hyomei outfit, consjstina purse or pocket, a bottle of Hyomei and q medicine dropper. costs only one dol laE
 Many remarkable cures of catarrh and other troubles of the air passages have been made by Hyomei, and Mir, Fowler agrees to refund the money to anyone who does not find 1t a complete cure for any catarrhal trouble.
 There Is no dangerous stomach drug ging with Hyomei; simply breathe It through the inhaler. and relief comes quickly. 6-tu-thu-su.

napkins, belts, stockings, head coverings, etc., are sold at from ? to 10 cents per piece; they are largely German. Swiss and Austrian make, exported via Trieste Manchester has for years monopolized
 the Syrian trade in cotton goods. Syrian merchants buy direct from the British
 manufacturer through Syrian agents or partners residing in Manchester or Liver pool, on conditions as follows: Cash on
 delivery (draft accompanying bill of lad ing collected through bank), or credit
 against bills at three to six months date.
 drawing interest at the rate of per cent per annum. Purchases are usually sub-
 ject to a per cent discount. Syrian
 wholesale dealers allow retailers four to six months time. or against cash to 6 per cent discount
 Importations of cotton fabrics from , Germany, Switzerland and Austria are commonly made through foreign commis- sion agents in Beirut, who charge a 3 per cent commission.
 Italian manufacturers have recently in- vaded the Beirut cotton market rather Successfully. cloths are offered without
 heavy sizing and at something between 2 and per cent under Manchester quota tions. Italian importations into Beirut of T cloth and white shirtings amounted to some 1000 bales. valued at about $75,OO0.
 Their success in yarns is more pronounc- ed. their competition being chiefly in
 threefold yarns Nos. 4 to l4, sold in g.
 pound bundles. Of this article some 400
 bales. weighing each 4S0 pounds and val
 ued at $69.0O0. were received in Beirut

 ing.
 Hyomei has made so many cures of the most chronic and deep-seated cases of catarrh, that E. c. Fowler, Druggist, con- siders it specific in this disease.
 He extends an invitation to all catarrh sufferers to call at his store and purchase a Hyemei outfit with the distinct under standing that 1t will be absolutely free :, unlessit effects a cure.
 The chief reason for the unusual suc- cess Of Hyomei in the treatment of catar- rhal troubles and other diseases of the air passages. Is the fact that 1t cures by a new principle impregnating the air you breaff1e with healing and germ killing balsams. On this account it reaches the seat Of the disease in a way impossible to pills, drugs or other stomach dosing.
 Many of MT. Fowler's customers who have suffered with catarrh since childhood hayesbeen cured completely by this scien- tihc remedy.
 The complete Hyomei outfits costs S1, and consists of an inhaler that can be carried in the purse or pocket, a medicine bottles can be obtained for 50c.,s making 1t a most economical remedy for the cure of catarrh
 Do not suffer longer with catarrhal dis orders, but get Hyomei outfit from D. C.. Fowler. Druggist, under his guarantee to return the money if 1t fails. You run no risk whatever. If it cures the treatment Is not expensive, while if it fails, MT. Fowler will refund your money and 1t costs you absolutely nothing.
