H. GOODMAN RELIES UPON HYO
 MEL.
Cures Colds, Coughs, Cstarrh and Grip
 I-st Breathe lt.

HyOmei is natures own method tor curing catarrh. colds coughs and dis eases of the respiratory organs. It is
 the only natural treatment for the cure Of these troubles.
 Breathed through the neat pocket in-
 haler that comes with every outfit, the air that passes into the throat and
 lungs. is identical With that on the mountains. where it is laden with heal ing and health-givins balsams. It searches out and kills disease germs in the most remote and minute air cells of the head, throat and lungs, it soothes and heals all irritation of the mucOus membrane.
 Hyomei is prescribed by physicians generally. Many of them use it them selves to break up a cold and prevent pneumonia.
 The complete Hyomei outfit consists of a neat inhaler, that is SD small and convenient that it can be carried in the pocket or purse, d medicine dropper and bottle of Hyomei This costs but ! S1. 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 obtain ed for soc, making it a most ecoGomi- cal treatment for this disease. F. Goodman 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 to any purchaser in case it fails to give satisfaction. He takes all the risk himself, and Hyomei costs you abbso- lutely nothing unless it does you good.

"My little girl has been suffering for two years or more from eczema, and during that time 1 could not get nights sleep, as her ailment was very severe.
 ''I had tried so many remedies and spent much morey, deriving no bene- nt, had absolutely given up all hope of making any cure. But as a last re- sort was persuaded to try set of the Cuiicura remedies, and to my great delight q marked change was mani- fested from the first application. gave the child a bath with Cuticura Soap, using soft piece of muslin cloth This l did twice a day, each time fol- lowing with the Cuticura Ointment, and at the same time gave the Resol- vent, according to directions.

B. JONES, ADDISGToN, IND. T.
 The first step in the treatment of the chronic forms is to remove the scales and crusts and soften the skin, by warm baths with Cuticura Soap. The scalp, ears, elbows, hands, ankles and feet will require frequently thorough soaking in order to penetrate the thick ened skin and cruSts with which these parts are often covered. Dry care fully. and apply Cuticura Ointment, lightly at first, and where advisable spread it on pieces of soft cloth and bind in place. Take the Resolvent, pills, or liquid, in medium doses. Do not use cold water in bathing, and avoid cold, raw winds.

FROM CALF OF THE LEG TO ANKLE
 A SOLID SORE.

 A SOLID SORE.
 New Castle, Pa., July 29, 1908.
 Three years ago a common boil ap- peared on the calf of my limb. Not yield ing to simple home remedies, I consulted d physician, who prescribed a poultice, flax seed, supposedly. By some fearful mistake I was given corrosive subli- mate, and after having it on for few minutes could endure the pain no longer, so took off the application and found that my limb from the calf to the ankle was in an awful condition. i'm mediately sent for another physician, who told me I had been poisoned. My limb from the calf to the ankle was one solid inflsmed sore. I was advised to begin 8. 8. s., and improved rapidly under it's use, but about this time had an attack oftyphoid fever, and this set tied in the original sore. This, of course, caused back set, but having confidence in the ability of 8. s. s., began it again as soon as was over the fever, and to make long story short, was completely and permanently cured. Two years have elapsed, and have never had a return of the trouble. MRS. K. A. DUFFY.

SUSPECTED AGREEMENT
TO COMMIT SUICIDE.

Chicago Nov. 21.-Suicide while
temporarily insane over the loss of
her betrothed was the verdict of the
coroner's jury to-day in the case of
Ella Cesterling, whose dead body was
found Sunday in the girls apartments
at the Vendome Hotel.
The death of the young woman ac-
cording to police theory, may have
been the result of a suicide agree
ment" entered into by the dead girl and
Charles A. Parker of Cincinnati. a
well known railroad official.
Parker died suddenly in Cincinnati
under circumstances that might indi-
cate that he had taken his own life.
The inquest in the case of Miss Ges-
terling, however, failed to bring out
any confirmation of the alleged pact.
Miss Gesterling formerly was one
of Parker's stenographers in Denver,
Col, and the friendship existing be-
tween them was strong enough to
cause comment. Correspondence be-
tween Parker and the young woman
was interce, lied by J. w. Parker, the
20-year-old son of the railroad official
In this manner, it is said the young
man learned that his father contemplate
ed securing a divorce in order that he
might marry Miss Gesterling.
Grief over this discovery and feel
ing of shame at the fathers entangle-
ment, were the causes it is believed
of the sons suicide recently in St.
Louis
