PERlLS OF LAND AND SEA.
CAPTAIN WiIlnefs Remarkable Es-
cape Shows What to do in Time Of
Trouble.

lFoupig'
For many years, Captain Wilnef, says
the Times of Gloucester, Macs, was one
of the best known seamen in the Glou-
ceeter Fleet. The catarrhal troubles
with which he suffered for fifteen years
made him dread the nights at sea, being
unable to lie down and sleep on account
Of the constant catarrhal dropping.
CAPTAIN Willnef went to two different
hospitals for treatment, bat could get
no lasting benefit. He constantly raised
yellow and green phlegm and his trouble
became 30 unbesrable and nsuseating
that he la ashamed to go out in com
pany. When despsiring OF ever getting
relief, his wife purchased Hyomei out
fit for him. and trying it before going to
bed, he enjoyed the first whole nights
sleep for ten year. Captain Willnet says:
II have used less than two bottles Of
Hyomei and have been cured by the
remedy"
Hyomei kills the germs OF catarrh and
makes lasting and permanent cures.
K n. Goolrick sells Hyomei under his
personal guarantee to refund the money
