Judge Parker's Charge Recalled.

1t was recalled that when Judge Alton B.
Parker made the charge that corporations
were being levied upon by the republican
national committee for large sums the
charge was denied by President Roosevelt
himself. The assumption is that the Presi-

facts when he issued his denial and tha.

NEW YORK, December 2.-TEeYe will be
great disappointment among the financiers
who have been more or less discredited by
the insurance revelations if certain mem
bers of the republican national committee
are not called to the stand These 1inan-
ciers are aggrieyed because their shortcom-
ings have been disclosed and so little has
been made of the fact that $lJ0, 600 OF the
trust funds of the three big insurance COM
pailies went into the republican national
committees campaign fund. They think
members of the committee should be sum
moned to make the record complete. One
of these aggrieved men said today:
Il know of my own personal knowledge
that when there was a necessity for more
funds for the work of the republican ma
tionaI committee a fund of S225,eG9 was
made up by the corporations. the Equitable
Life furnishing $4,000 of that amount, ana

that fund. If the committee doubts the

CURES WITHOUT STOMACH DOSING.

Hyomei Cures catarrh by Simple Breathing.
]. w. Merritt will Refund Money If it fails
to Cure.
A long stride toward solving the mystery
Of curing catarrh was taken with the dis
coyery Of Hyomei In fact, the percentage
of cures by this treatment proves it equal
TO the final tests
The folly of taking medicine into the
stomach To cure catarrh of the nose, throat
and lungs, has been realized by physicians,
but not until Hyomei was known, had they
practical method that would obviate
stomach druggiDg.
A complete Hyome outfit costs but 81,
and consists Of neat pocket inhaler that
can be used anywhere without attracting
attention, medicine dropper and bottle
of Hyomei Extra bottles of Hyomei cost
but SO cents.
Breathing Hyomei through the inhaler,
every particle Of air that enters the nose,
throat and lungs, is charged with healing
balsam that sooths and allays all irritation,
kills the catarrhal germs and enriches the
blood with additional ozone.
j. w Merritt has so much faith in the
power OF Hyomei to cure catarrh, that be is
selling it under his personal guarantee to
refund the money il it does not give posi-
tive relief.
