degree of intelligence scarcely fitted
him for the place. He had made up his
mind before coming in that the civil
service examination was a fraud, q
humbug and two or three other things
not so good. However, he made out
to answer the questions to his own sat
isfaction at least and expressed sur
prise that they were not more difficult.
Finally the examiners asked him:
How far is it from Philadelphia to
Chicago?'

care, but if I've got to walk to Chicago
to deliver letters I'll quit this thing
right now and stick to farming =

"Hyomei the Most Wonderful Cure for
Catarrh Ever Discovered" Says J
T. Bennett.
Do not try to cure catarrh by TAX
ing drugs into the stomach; it can
not be cured in that manner. The
only way in which this too common
disease can be cured is through a
direct application that will kill the
bacilli of catarrh and prevent their
growth.
Hyomei is the only known method
of treatment that accomplishes this.
1t is the simplest, most pleasant,
and the only absolute cure for
catarrh that has ever been dis
covered.
Thousands of unsolicited from the
most prominent men and women
in the country who have been cured
by this remarkable remedy. Mini
sters, bankers, lawyers, even
eminent physicians have given
strong testimonials as to the re-
markable powers of Hyomei to
cure catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but 81 90, consisting of an inhaler,
dropper and sufficient Hyomei to
last several weeks. This will effect
cure in ordinary cases, but for
chronic and deepseated cases OF
catarrh, longer use may be neces-
sary, and then extra bottles Of Hy-
omei can be ATTAINED for soc. It
is not alone the best Ct might be
called the only method of curing
catarrh, but it is also the most
economical.
J. T. Bennett had SO much con-
fdence in the power of Hyomei to
cure catarrh, that he will for limited
time, sell this medicine under his
personal guarantee to refund the
money if the purchasers can say
that it did not help them.
