KILLS GERMS OF CATARRH
HyOmei Goes to the Root of the
Disease and Makes Aston
ishing Cures.

Catarrh cannot be cured by the use of
pills, liquid medicines and so-called
system tonics. Under such treatment
the germs of the disease still live in the
air passages and increase and multiply.
Hyomei is the only scientific and
thorough way to cure catarrh. Killing
the germs in the air passages, it enters
the blood with the oxygen, destroys the
microbes in the blood and effectually
drives from the system all catarrhal
poison.
Probably the strongest evidence that
can be offered as to the powers of
Hyomei to cure catarrh is the fact that
Clarke & Co. will agree to refund the
money if you say Hyomei has not cured
you.
The complete Hyom-i outfit costs but
81 90 and consists of an inhaler that can
be carried IN the vest pocket. medicine
dropper and a bottle of HYomei. The
inhaler lasts lifetime, and if one bottle
does not cure. an extra bottle of Hy omei
can be obtained for 30 cents.

cruelest, thing that could be done to him,
for it killed the maggots and saved his
life, but the interchange of "cOurtesies''
which passed between the young Pennsyl-
vania Reserve and the rebel Surgeon
wouldn't make good Sunday-school read

exceptions were made by President Nc
Kinley and President Roosevelt Presi-
dent Mckinley made three individual ap-
pointments. and President Roosevelt has
made 90. The details of suspensions made
by President Roosevelt are as follows:

THE BATTLESHIP VIRGINIA.
successful Launching of a Splendid Ameri-
can Fighting Machine.

March 8, 1862, little over AZ years
ago, occurred memorable battle between
the Confederate ram Merrimac and the
Monitor, which revolutionized the navies
OF the world and stopped the building of
wooden ships. The Merrimac was re.
named by the Confederates the Virginia,
but this does not play much of a part in
history, as she will always be remembered
by her other name.
The Confederates were SO elated with
their part in the battle between the two
ships, that after the Merrimac was de-
stroyed upon the evacuation of Norfolk.
they set about building the Virginia No. 2,
which was still more formidable ship
than her predecessor, having six inches
OF armor on her sides and eight on her
ends, and carrying two 8,inch and six g.
inch Brooke rifle guns. The only time
she came prominently into notice, how
ever, was on Jan. %, 1865, when she with
other vessels tried to drive the Union
fleet. depleted by the expedition to Fort
Fisher, out of the Jamesn River. They
were repulsed by the aid eoffthe land bat
teries. and were destroyed when Rich
mond was evacuated. II &.
The only vessels whieh Virginia has
had on the United States naval list bear
ing her name were aio0pfin the Revo-
lutlonary War and 14-gun schooner

war with France, but! which does not

Tuesday, April 5, the new Virginia was
launched Mt Newport News, almost in sight
of the scene of the battle between the
Merrimac and the Monitor The new
vessel is one of the best and most modern
types Of naval architecture, and will do
the highest credit to the State after which
she is named. She is one of the three
coastline battleships fer which Congress
made appropriation in March,. 1869, and
It is claimed that she embodies the very
highest and best ideas up to date. She is
designed as a flagship, and has accommo-
datiOns for 812 men, including officers and
crew. She will have eight engines and
dynamos to furnish power for the appli-
cations of electricity which are much

that Lincoln Post ought to recognize in
some fitting way the magnificent services
Of pr. Johnson. He mentioned this at
mously indorsed Col. Bingham was made
Chairman OF the Testimonial Committee.
He consulted with Mrs. Annie w. John

OF DR.. johnson. as to what the testimo-
NAL should be, and she declared that
badge would be the Doctors choice. So
a badge it was.

reception to its auxiliary, Lincoln Re-
lief Corps, which is the Banner Corps of
the Department. The guests Of honor
were welcomed by Capt. Honey. Senior

made by Mrs. Gloundie, President of the
Corps. Then. in the presence of 200
guests, Col. Bingham, in behalf Of the
Post, presented to DIR. Johnson a magnifi-
cent gold badge. He spoke very eloquent
ly of DIR. Johnson's service to his coun-
try, and of his career since, and of the
great work that he had done and was
continuing to do for the Post. and then
pinned upon the astonished Post Surgeon
the flashing badge. He also presented him
with set of handsomely engrossed reso-
lntions. bearing the seal of the Post.
DIR. Johnson is q man Of deeds, not of
words, yet he speaks to the point on all
| occasions, but the rushing events of the
evening had simply surprised him into
speechlessness. He said that he had
served the Post and his comrades for no
| reward, and expected no emolument, and
that he would continue to serve as long
as his comrades needed him and he was
able to assist them, but that he was deeply
gratified with the splendid tribute which
his comrades had paid him in giving him
the beautiful badge, of which he would
always be immensely proud.
Mrs. Mary V. Goundie, President of
Lincoln Relief Corps, then presented DIR.
Johnson was handsome bouquet of red
roses as IAN evidence of the love and es-
