full reader is left to decide between two quesuons Is

HyOmei Treatment Costs Moth

arTh

Many who are in need of Hyomei,
the treatment that cures ca;arrh with
out stomach dosing, have not yet real
lied its wonderful healing powers. He
wants every one who is troubled with
catarrrh or catarrhal colds to get a
Hyomei outfit from him with the un-
Outstanding that it is absolutely free
unless it cures catarrh and frees the
system from germs Of grippe and infiu-
enza
The first days use of Hyomei will
show by its eXhiarating and vitalizing
effects that it is doing good. Use it
for full month entirely at Druggis
Gokay's risk. If, at the end of thirty
days, you can say that Hyomei has not
helped you, he will return your money
without question or argument
The complete Hyomei treatment costs
but one dollar and consists of an inha-
Ter that can be carried in the pocket or
purse, a medicine dropper and bot
tie of Hyomei. The inhaler will last a
life time and If one bottle does not
cure, extra bottles can be obtained
for so cents. 1t is the most economi-
cal Of all remedies advertised for the
cure of catsrrh, and the only one where
you can obtain a months treatment
from your local druggist that costs
nothing If it fails to cure.
Try Hyomei for month. 1t can
not harm you, as it is purely vegetable
and cures cstarrh without any stomach
dosing. If it fails the loss falls entire
ly upon Druggist Gokay.

curiosity. The lawyers had no chance
to serve the papers, and the OctoroOn
servants admitted no visitors.
Jacob A. Cantor, chairman of the
executive committee of the Andrew IL.
Green Memorial association, said that
statement that the proposal to erect
monument TO Mr.. Green, who it has
now been discovered was murdered in
mistake for ]. X. Plat, had been
dropped because OF the Elias scandal
was an error.
He added: "Those who knew Mr..
Green best and who organized the
movement have never entertained the
least shadow Of doubt concerning his
title to the unqualified respect of his
fellow citizens. The undertaking will
be carried through successfully, and
Mr.. Green will have monument
worthy Of the city which he so greatly
benefited"
After the Green murder, 1t has been
learned, Mr.. Platt received about fifty
letters i'm which the writer's demanded
money and threatened TO expose his re
lations with Mrs, Elias and the fact
that he was the man for whom VIII
liams' bullets were intended. 1t seem
cd as II the entire negro colony in West
Fifty-third street was trying to get a
share of the money which was known
to flow into the lap of the then Bessie
Davis. Mr., Plat ignored these re-
quests, however and turned the letters
over to his lawyers.
When the writers made personal
calls, in order to back up their written
demands, they we're informed that if
they molested Mr.. Plat further their
letters would be turned oyer to the po-
lice.
