HYoMErs SUCCESS IN AUGUSTA
Cured Many Serious Cases Of catarrh.
Bowdtch & Webster and Percy w.
Means Will Refund Money If II Fails.

No other medicine or treatment for
catarrh has ever achieved such quick
and remarkable success in Augusta as
Hyomei. The fact that Bowditch &
Webster and Percy w. Means, when
they first introduced Hyolnei sold it
under a. positive guarantee to refund
the money in case it did not cure con
tributed largely to it's successful intro
duction. A guarantee from a firm like
Bowditch & Webster and Percy w.
Means gave people confidence at the
start.
Those who obtained a Hyoinei outfit
found that the treatment did all that
was claimed for it: that the first few
breaths Of HyOmei cleared the air pas
sages and gave an eXhilarating and
invieora ting effect. Its continued used
freed the system from all catarrhal
germs. soothed and healed the mucous
membrane, and made Il complete and
lasting cure.
Compared with the dangerous stom-
ach druggiEg that had been used here
tofore in the treatment Of catarrh, the
balsamic air of Hyomei created n most
favorable impression. And the medi-
cine itself did even more than was
claimed for it. In fact. to make q
success. it was necessary that Hyomei
should cure nearly every case of ca
tarrh in which it was used, for every
OUTFIT was sold on a guarantee to re-
fund the money in case it failed.
If 1T had not possessed unusual merit,
an offer like this would have resulted
in an enormous loss. Eut curing as it
did, Hyomei soon gained an enviable
reputation and made many friends who
recommend it far and near. It's sue
cess here in Augusta has been remark
able. and Bowditch & Webster and
Percy w. Means are still selling it on
their personal guarantee to refund the
money in case it does not give satisfac-
ton.

Later. Alderman Sheldon introduced a
similar order. but it met the same fate
as It's predecessor. 1t read as follows:
Ordered, that the city auditor is here
by directed to prepare a statement
showing the amount paid to each indi-
viduai' firm or corporation, during the
present municipal year on account of
highways, Eastern district, and also
the total amount expended in each sub

foregoing, price at the discretion OF
the mayor.
The report of the bridge inspector
was approved in the lower board, and
a copy ordered furnished to the keeper.
T.. j. Philbrook was granted an ex-
tension of 60 days in which to remove
his phosphate factory, the time to date
from the passage of the order.
4 series street light was ordered to
be erected on Mill street, and also one
on Franklin street.
i petition signed by number Of the
local cab drivers was presented to the
council, and after being read was re-
ferred to the mayor and city solicitor.
The text was as follows:
Whereas certain ordinance was
passed by the city of Augusta, requir-
ing the drivers of public carriages with
in the city of Augusta to pay Il license
fee, and
Whereas, we, the undersigned, in ac-
=
dinance, have yearly paid such license
fee as the said city of Augusta has seen
fit 10 establish, and
Whereas, said ordinance so passed
by said city of Augusta has been de-
clared illegal and void by the courts Of
this State,
Now, therefore, we, the undersigned
drivers of public carriages within the
city of Augusta. hereby petition your
honorable body to take such action as
may be necessary to authorize the
treasurer Of the city of Augusta to re-
fund, or pay back, to each and all of
us such sums as we have paid to the
city of Augusta from time to time, on
account of the provisions of said ordi-
nance SO as aforesaid improperly and
Illegally enacted.
In joint convention Jabez Tyler, turn
key at the Jail, was chosen weigher
of coal and meaSurer of wood.
The meeting was very harmonious
one, Notwithstanding the large amount
of business transacted, the only evil
dence of Il ripple on the surface was
produced by the introduction of two
orders, both of which were voted down,
in the upper branch.
Alderman Manley presented an order
providing that the city auditor be d.
rected to prepare statement showing
the amount paid to each individual,
firm or corporation, during the present
municipal year on account of highways
Of the Eastern district, and also the to-
tai amount expended in each sub dis
trict; and similar statement on oc-
count of highways of the Western dis
trict, and cause both statements to be
published in the Kennebec Journal on
or before March 1, 1904.
The passage of the order was opposed
by Alderman Purinton on the ground
that he believed it to be a
political move; that the books
were open to the inspection of
citizens who cared to see them; and
further, that the itemized reports of the
highway departments of the two dis
tricts would be presented by the street
commissions at the last meeting of the
council. He further said that if the
statement were published the state
ment of last years expenditures should
also be published for comparison.
Alderman Messer shared Mr.. Purin-
toms views, but Alderman Sheldon was
inclined to favor the order and spoke to
some length. When the matter was

the sale OF the Buena Vista ranch to

sale was made, conditioned upon Ger.
tain provisions OF contract and the
deed was placed III escrow, to be de.
livered upon fulfillment Of such con.
tract. Jones took possession ana has
continued In possession until recent.
~, when the veeders, claiming that
the contract was forfeited by default.
brought suit for ioreible entry and de.
tainer before the Justice Of the peacs
at Buena Vista.
