Hooper Drug Co. 0uaraatee that
Hyomel VIII Cure the Worst Case
of Catarri1 ln Great Bend.

When one of the most reputable
concerns in Great Bend guarantees
that medicine will effect a cure or
they will refund the money, it speaks
volumes as to the merits of that
remedy. It is in this way that
Hooper Drug Co. areselling Hyomei,
the treatment that has made so many
remarkable cures of both acute and
chronic catarrh in Great Bend and
vicinity.
Hyomei is not a pill nor is it
liquid that has to be taken with
tablespoon or wineglass. Just
breathe it by the aid of an inhaler
that comes in every outfit and benefit
will be seen from the first treatment.
, 1t destroys all germ life in the air
passages and lungs and enriches and
purifes the blood with additional
ozone. 1t cures catarrh of the head
and throat, or of the stomach, liver
and kidneys. Wherever mucous
membrane contains catarrhal germs,
there Hyomei will do its work of
healing. When using this treatment,
the air you breathe will be found like
that on the mountains high above the
sea level, where grow balsamic trees
and plants which make the air pure
by giving off volatile antiseptic frag
rance that is healing to the respira-
tory organs.
Complete Hyomei outfit costs but
S1.00, and includes an inhaler,
dropper and sufficient Hyomei for
several weeks treatment.
Remember that if Hyomei does
not cure you Hooper Drug Go. will
refund your money. This is good
time to cure catarrh by this natural
method and prevent catarrhal colds
that are so common at this season. -

DIVORCE CASE LETTER

In the trial of the case of Charles
p. Remillet against Masie Estelle Re
millet, before Judge Amber Friday af-
ternoon, the veil was lifted from 'one
of LIES heart tragedies by the read.
ing of two letters written by the re-
creant wife to the husband who had
sued her for divorce. The letters were
very pathetic. The woman admitted
that she was leading a bad life, but
insisted that her husbands cruelty had
driven her to it. She said that she had
loved him and been true to him when
they were living together, but that af-
ter leaving him she had taken to drink
and worse things. ''The life l am
living is not a pleasant one" she
wrote, land hope it will not be long"
She said she wanted to die and end
it all. In one place she said 81 am
what you said your first wife was and
what you wanted to drive me to.
pray that your third wife will be bad
woman and make you suffer as | have
suffered" Through it all was a deep
regret for the happy days gone by and
tender undercurrent of love for the
man who is suing her for divorce.
Trouble will drive any one to drink,
she said, but drink does not drown
my trouble. o, / am so tired of II
all, was the wall of the lost one.
She had written to him for some
kcepsakes that had been given her by
her mother, childish trinkets to re
mind me of when | was innocent and
pure"
The letters were written some time
ago. but as yet the husband has not
sent those keepsakes. He said thai
their goods were stored and he could
not get at them.
While living at Findlay the wife
had sued him for divorce, but it had
not been granted and Judge Amber
refused to pass upon the case until he
had seen the papers in that Findlay
case.
The parties lived on Prospect street
in this city and the husband charged
that about once a month his wiit
would take pouting spells and woul'
strike him in her anger. He said sh'
was stronger than he and he coult
not defend himself. 1t was alsC
brought out that Remillet's first wifi
had been divorced from him. but HI
could not remember upon wha
grounds. They lived at Findley at tina
time. Remillet works at the Duebe
works. Attorney Sterling had charg
of the case.
