CHRONIC CATARRH CURED.
Hyomei's Wonderful Action in Curing
a Case of Thirty Years Standing
Guaranteed by Woodbridge
& Purdy.

Do not try to cure catarrh by TAX
ing drugs into the stomach. 1t can
not be cured in that manner. The
only way in which this common dis
ease can be cured is is through a direct
application that will kill the germs Of
catarrh and prevent their growth.
Hyomei is the only known method Of
treatment that accomplishes this. 1t
is the simplest, most pleasant and
only absolute cure for catarrh that has
ever been discovered.
Mrs. O. A. Derby, of Beverly,
Mass, writes: "My husband has had
catarrhal trouble for thirty years and
Hyomei is the first thing which has
ever helped him. He had catarrh In its
worst form and nothing except Hyo.
mel ever had any effect on 1t what
ever. This gave him relief from the
first and he has steadily improved, un-
til now he is cured"
Woodbridge s. Purdy have so much
confidence in the power of Hyomei &c
cure catarrh that they will sell the
treatment under their personal guar
antee to refund the money II the pur
chasers can say it did not benefit.

FOR NEW UNION DEPOT.
Meeting of the Officials of Alton,
Wabash and Burlington Held
In Koberly Thursday.

Several railroad officials were in this
city Thursday en- route to Moberly to
attend meeting OF the officials of the
Chicago s. Alton, the Wabash and the
Burlington to confer In regard to a
Union station in this city. 1t is pos
sible that definite action was taken.
The matter Of all three roads enter
ing in the conference is very encour-
aging to the citizens Of this city, as 1t
looks like possible union station for
all three. This will suit the citizens
Of the town and patrons of the road
much better than separate stations
would and another advantage would
be the class of the union building, as
it would be much handsomer II the
interests are merged.
