STRONGEST EVIDENCE Of
Elliott & Harvey Guarantee that
Hyomei will Cure the Worst
Case Of Catarrh In Mo, Valley

OOSC vi OOlOllu jill W1CV valley
When one of the most reput-
able concerns in Missouri VAL
ley guarantees that a medicine
will effect a cure or they will
refund the money, it speaks
volumes as to the merits of
that remedy. 1t is in this way
that Elliott & Harvey are SELL
ing Hyomei, the treatment that
has made so many remarkable
cures of both acute and chronic
catarrh in Mo. Valley and
vicinity.
Hyomei is not a pill nor is it
a liquid that has to be taken
with with a tablespoon or a
wineglass. Just breathe it by
the aid of an inhaler that comes
in every outfit and benefit will
be seen from the first treat
ment.
Complete Hyomei outfit costs
but $1.OO, and includes an in
haler, dropper and sufficient
Hyomei for several weeks
treatment.
Remember that if Hyomei
does not cure you Elliott &
Harvey willrefund your money.
This is a good time to cure ca
tarrh by this natural method
and prevent catarrhal colds
that are so common at this
season.

Art Of Temperins Copper.

During the last week some interest
ing experiments were made by ID. La
mon, who recently re-discovered the
lost art of tempering copper. These
experiments show that copper has
strength at least five or six times
that of steel. Another curious fea-
ture about the process is that copper.
instead of bursting, as does steel,
when put to the test of an enormous
pressure. will simply draw apart. This
quality, those acquainted with the
metal say. will make it of extraordi'
nary value for use in steam boilers
and other similar machinery, since 1t
will minimize the danger Of explo
sions. Arrangements are also being
made to show some of the tempered
copper at the st. Louis exposition. II
is proposed to manufacture from the
metal small boilers. guns and other ar
ticles, to show the uses to which 1t
may be put.
Negotiations are also pending fol
the purchase of site upon which it
is proposed to at once erect an ex-
perimenting station. According to
plans the proposed station will be in
operation before the middle of the
summer.-Denver News.
