PERILS OF LAND AND SEA.
Captain Willnef's Remarkable Escape
Shows What to do In Time OF Trouble.

For many years, Captain Willnef,
says the Times of Gloucester, Mass.
was one of the best known seaman In
the Gloucester Fleet. The sea and its
dangers had no terror for him, but the
catarrhal troubles with which he suf.
fered for fifteen years, made him dread
the nights at sea, for he had to walk
the cabin floor, being unable to lie
down and sleep on account of the con-
stant catarrhal dropping.
Captain Wilnef went to two differ
ent hospitals for treatment, but could
get no lasting benefit. He constantly
raised yellow and green pblegm and
his trouble became 20 unbsarahle ard
naueeating that he was ashamed t. 90
out In company. When despai,ing Of
ever getting relief, his wife purchased
Hyomei outfit for him and trying it
before going to bed, he enjoy eli the
frat whole nights 81, ep for ten ". ars.
Captain Wil'nef sly "I have used
less than two bo Ties OF Hyome! and
have been cured by the remedy, My
friends ask me what is responsible for
my improvement. and tell them Hyo-
mel, which has Civ, me- full and com
plete rec overy

of which were burned Friday morning
last,
In both instances the loss was total
and the property Of each WAS unin-
cured.
Mr.. Harris thinks his fl re was OF ac-
ciden.al origin. 1t was discovered
about one O'Clock = too late to save
anything. The loss is placed at about
$1,000.
Mr.. Simmons was hit harder as his
loss amounts to SO, 500. He had COM

the loss is heavy blow. He is strong
ly of the opinion that some one set
fire to his property as it occurred be-

while 1t 10 high praise, 1t may be truth
