NOT A PATENT MEDICINE.
hyomei, the Guaranteed Catarrh
Cure, Prescribed by Physicians.

No one should confound Hyomei with
patent medicines that are advertised to
cure catarrh. It is as far superior to
them all as the diamond is more valuable
than cheap glass. Their composition is
secret, but Hyomei gives its formula to
all reputable physicians.
Is it not foolish to try and cure catarrh
by swallowing tablets or liquidsP The
only natural way to cure this disease
and all other diseases of the respiratory
organs is to breathe Hyomei
This treatment has been so successful,
curing 90 per cent. of all who have
used it, that Hyomei is now sold by G.
R. Fogg under an absolute guarantee to
refund thelmoney if it does not cure You
run no risk whatever in buying Hyomei.
II it did not possess unusal powers to
cure, it could not be sold upon this plan

The ST. Louis Convention.

The expected happened at st. Louis
and that on the first ballot Judge
Alton B. Parker was nominated receiving
6S7 votes, more than the required two
thirds.
The committee on the platform had
difficult task to perform. The sub COM
mittee adopted gold plank by vote of
7 to but Bryan was member of the
full committee and made strenuous
objection to the gold plank, and also
wanted an income tax plank inserted.
He succeeded in bringing about a COM
promise by which both the gold plank
and the income tax plank were dropped.
Bryan is reported to have said TO Hill =:
81 am Democrat. lou want money
PLANK. [ want an income tax plank.
Let US both withdraw them in the inter
est of united Democracy That was
where Bryan got the best Of Hill. The
latter readily agreed, resting content in
the belief that the platform without the
money plank would be acceptable to
- uukt al hti duO hhONlbB Nhot hC was
a gold standard candidate anyway.
Upon being informed of his nomination
Parker stated to newspaper reporters
that he had nothing to say to the public
and should have nothing to say until he
was officially notified, but sundry news
papers in New York were alarmed that
the platform was without financial
plank and in vigorous language advised
candidate Parker to speak out and if
possible save his party inevitable defeat.
He listened to this advice and sent the
following dispatch to Hon. w. F. Sheean
at st. Louis
Il regard the gold standard as firmly
and irrevoeably established and | shall
Act accordingly if the action of the con-
vention today, Saturday. is ratified by
the people. Inasmuch as the platform
Is silent on the subject, my views should
be known to the convention, and if il is
proved to be unsatisfactory to the ma
jority, request you to decline the nom
ination for me at once, so that another
may be nominated before adjournment"
This precipitated intense excitement
and commotion in the convention but
after prolonged debate and conference,
the leaders submitted the following as
reply to Judge Parker and it was adopt
ell:
"The platform adopted by this con-
vention is silent on the question of the
monetary standard because it is not re-
garded by US as possible issue in this
campaign and only campaign issues
were mentioned in the platform. There
fore there is nothing In the views ex-
pressed by you in the telegram just re-
ceived which precludes man entertain
ing them from accepting a nomination
on said platform
This occurred Saturday afternoon and
extended into the evening so that it was
1.30 Sunday morning when, after nom
mating Henry G. Davis of West Virginia
for viee-president, the convention adj
] purned.
Il was a notable convention, filled
with exciting episodes and the prolong-
ed day and night sessions of the four
days tested physical endurance to the
limit.
