CURES CATARRHAL DEAFNESS.

Immediately upon the inf1amed membrane
and the hearing begins to return at once. A
few days treatment will bring relief, and in
three or four weeks. according to the sever
ity of the case, q cure will be accomplished.
Miss Meeks of Mattewan, N. Y, says
"Hyomei is truly wonderful. have used
it but a short time and see great change
in my condition. My hearing Is improving
rapidly, and had no idea would improve
so rapidly in SO short time. My breath
which was 50 offensive to myself and others,
has lost its bad 0dor entirely. I have spent
a great deal of money with catarrh special
lists and can truly say that six months of
their treatment is not equal to one month Of
Hyomei."
K. H. Moody is selling Hyomei upon the
unusual plan of agreeing to return the
money If the medicine does not cure.
A complete outfit costs only 90 and con-
sists of an inhaler that can be carried In
the vest pocket, medicine drOpper and a
bottle of Hyomei. The inhaler will last a
lifetime and there is enough Hyomei for
several weeks treatment. Additional bot

charged by specialists and then remember
that If HyOmei does not cure r. 81. Moody

Estate PRINTING INVESTIGATION.


A full And Fair Explanation by Mr.. Fly t.
The hearing before the special committee
OF State printing was resumed at p. M,
last Thursday, and continued through the
afternoon and evening. 1t was in the hall
of the House, which was crowded at both
sessions. C. F. Flynt was the only witne IS
heard, and his testimony was full and
fair explanation of the work done for the
State, the interpretation Of the law as to
prices, the methods of making out bills and
having them audited by Mr.. Berry of Port
land, and in general the whole system by
which work is ordered by the various de-
partments, done by the printer and paid for
by order of the Governor and Council. Mr..
Flynt, being practical printer and having
been in charge of the State printing for
many years, was able to give just the testi-
mony wanted by the committee, and he gave
it frankly, clearly and cOnciSely, making
every point plain and dispelling the fog
with which certain parties have tried to
obscure the truth of the situation. The
feature of the evening session was the
absolute failure of Judge Foster in his cross
examination to bring out anything new or
anything of value to those he represents.
His discontinue was much enjoyed by the
large crowd present.
The witnesses Friday afternoon We're

the State printers bills for 80 years; Lewis

setts Herbert II. White, manager of the

D. Loring of Portland, Charles f. Williams
of Portland and Arnold H. Jones of Rock

experience, and all corroborated the testi-
mOny of the State printer on Thursday re-
garding the cost of work and the customs
and methods of printers.

PROTECT YOURSELF AGA1Ns ST GERMS
People With Weak Stomachs Most Liable to
Catch Disease.

Catch Disease.
When the stomach and digestive organs
are weak, the food does not digest, and
there is sour, Shiny, fermenting mass,
making it an ideal spot for the disease
germs to multiply. The only way to protect
yourself against disease germs is to strength
en- the stomach and digestive organs, and
Mi-O-na is the only agent so far as is known.
that will accomplish this.
The ordinary medicine that is taken for
Indigestion and stomach troubles is adver.
tised to act upon the food alone, and hence
can give no more than temporary relief
M-O-na is certain cure in all cases OF
stomach troubles, excepting cancer, because
it enables the stomach and digestive organs
to act in the way Nature intended they
should. Drugs cannot digest the food
they simply dec0mpOSe it.
If you suffer with distress after eating
