HYOMEl.
Cures Colds, Coughs, Catarrh and Grip
Just Breathe II.

Hyomci is natures own method for
curing catarrh. colds, coughs and dis
eases of the respiratory organs. 1t 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
healing and health giving balsams. 1t
searches out and kills disease germs in
the most remote and minute air cells
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 cold and prevent
pneumonia.
The complete Hyomei outfit consists
of neat inhaler. that is SO small and
convenient that it can be carried in
the pocket or purse a medicine drop
per and bottle of Hyomei This costs
but 81. and it will cure any ordinary
case of catarrh. In chronic and deep
seated conditions, longer use is neces-
sary and extra bottles of Hyomei can
be obtained for SOC, making it a most
economical treatment for this disease.
Bowditch & Webster and Percy w.
Means have so much confidence in the
power of Hyomei to cure catarrh and
other diseases of the throat and lungs
that they sell it under their personal
guarantee to refund the money to any
purchaser in case it fails to give salts
faction. They take all the risk them
selves, and Hyomei cosfs you absolute
ly nothing unless it does you good.

Jerry Dionne and William Henry
were brought before Judge Hall for
sentence, Wednesday morning. The
former was sentenced to Az years in
State prison, and the latter to nine
months in Kennebec Jail. The crime
of Dionne was larceny of a large sum
of money from the person of Michael
Burns, March IA. 1903. The case be-
came somewhat celebrated, as three
trials were held before the respondent
was finally ready for sentence. After
the first trial there was an appeal on
exceptions to the judges charge. The
law court granted a new trial which
was well under way when it was dis
covered that one of the jurors had been
Illegally drawn. Then third trial was
held with the same result as the first.
Il. f. Maher and G.. c. Sheldon were
counsel for Dionne.
William Henry of Whitefield was in
dicted for assault with intent to kill
upon William G. Casey. The jury in
bringing in a verdict eliminated the in
tent to kill and found him guilty of
assault and battery with n dangerous
weapon An appeal was taken on the
ground that this offence is not known
to the law. The law court decided that
it meant the same as an assault Judge
Hall took in account the previous good
conduct Of the prisoner and imposed
a sentence of nine months at hard labor
