cases of catarrh, that w. ID. Head
considers it a specific in this disease.
He extends an invitation to all ca
tarrh sufferers to call at his store and
purchase a Hyomei outfit with the
distinct understanding that it will be
absolutely free unless it effects cure.
The chief reason for the unusual
success of Hyomei in the treatment of
catarrhal troubles and other diseases
of the air passages, is the fact that il
cures by a new principle, impregua-
ting the air you breathe with healing
and germ-killing balsams. On this
account it reaches the seat of the dis
ease in a way impossible to pills,
drugs or other stomach dosing.
Many of W. ID. Heald's customers
who have suffered with catarrh since
childhood have been cured completely
by this scientific remedy.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
81, and consists of an inhaler that
can be carried in the purse or pocket,
a medicine dropper and a bottle of
Hyomei. Extra bottles can be OBJ
tanned for Soc, making it a most
economical remedy for the cure of ca
tarrh.

disorders, but get q Hyomei outfit

dition. Whenever it passes into new
hands the owner. with his wife, man.
servant ard maidservant. comes on
horseback to the parsonage and pays
his homage by blowing three blasts
upon horn. He carries a hawk upon
his fist and his servant has a grey
hound i'll the slip, both for the use of
the rector for that day. He receives a
chicken for the hawk, peck of oats
for his horse and loaf of bread for

1.-THE SLEEPLESS ARCH"


| Old HindO- Principle the Basis Of
All Modern Bridges.
Although the building of great arches
| of masonry dates beyond the ancient
Roman civilization. the principle that
gives strength to the massive stone
bridges of today is the same that built
the bridges of the Roman empire.
The history of bridge building is, to
a large degree. the history of the arch,
whose efficiency lies in the truth of the
old Hindoo saying that 1.-The arch never
sleeps because each separate section
of which i, consists, beginning at the
keystone, or central section, is con-
stantly pushing against it's immediate
neighbors until the pressure finally
reaches the firm foundation upon which
the structure is erected.
10 secure perfectly trustworthy
foundation, therefore, the bridge build
er has often to penetrate far below the
surface of the earth, and not infre-
quently the part of his structure thus
covered up and concealed is greater
than that visible above ground.
1t was their inability to solve the
problem of trustworthy foundation
that led the ancient Hindoos to dis
trust the arch, arguing that the Sleep
less activity that held it together was
equally active in tearing it to pieces.
Not only Is the modern bridge builder
skilled in setting his structure on a
firm base, but thoroughly acquainted
with the time honored materials for
his work. to say nothing of new ma
terials, and an important part of his
student training in such modern schools
as the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology is devoted to methods Of test
ing materials during construction that
would have surprised and delighted
even the most accomplished Of the an
cient Roman engineers.
