SPRING CATARRH.
Changeable Weather Causes Dis
ease. Breathe Hyomei and
Cure Cdtdrrh.

The changeable weather of spring.
with it's warm days and cold nights, is
responsible for a great increase in the
number of cases of catarrh. 1t is now
that Hyomei, the only guaranteed treat
ment for catarrh that cures without
stomach dosing, should be used in every
home.
Hyomei is scientific method by
which pure air impregnated with Ma
lures own remedies for the cure of
catarrh, can be inhaled by every suffer-
er in his or her home. Breathed through
the neat pocket inhaler that comes with
every outfit, its healing, volatile, anti
septic fragrance reaches the lungs and
air passages as no stomach dosing pos
sibly can do. 1t gives immediate relief
and makes lasting cures.
Proof that the Hyomei treatment will
do all that is claimed for it is found in
the guarantee under which Ia P. Van
Werden sells it, an agreement to paw
back the price, if the purchaser can say
that Hyomei has not given satisfaction.

HORRIBLE TRAIN WRECK
Passenger Train Collides With Car
of Blasting Powder and is Blown
Up--2O Persons are Killed.

HARRISBURG, Pa, May Twenty per-
sons are believed to have been killed
and approximately 100 injured by the
wrecking of the Cleveland & Cincinnati
express west bound on the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad which dashed into a
wrecked eastbound freight train ex-
ploding car filled with $4,000 pounds
of blasting powder. The wreck oc-
Cured in the southern part of Harris
burg at lao o'clock Thursday morning.
1t was one of the most horrible disas-
tiers ever experienced~by the Pennsyl-
vania railroad on it's main line. Several
hours will elapse before the exact num-
Der of dead and injured will be known.
Twelve Of the dead are at the morgue
and other bodies are being brought to
the deadhouse as quickly as they are
located. There are about 20 injured
persons in the Harrisburg hospitals,
hotel and private residences, while
others are under care of physicians in
houses near the scene of the wreck.
The primary cause was shifting en-
CINE. 1t was going west slowly when
the engineer Of the east-bound freight
train saw it was coming on his track.
He applied the air-brakes suddenly,
which caused the middle of the freight
train to buckle, showing several OF the
cars onto the west-bound passenger
track. A moment later the express, one
of the fastest night trains on the road,
came along and dashed into the wrecked
cars. The next instant the boiler OF
| the passenger locomotive exploded.
The wreck caught fire and those who
escaped began the work of rescue. Six
minutes after the express struck the
freight wreck, the railroad men say, the
flames reached the car filled with pow
der. There was flash and a deafening
roar. The earth trembled as though
some terrible seismic disturbance had
occurred. All who were not killed and
injured by the explosion fled from the
awful scene.
The entire wreckage became mass
of flames and small boxes of powder
that had not been exploded "let go
continuously. While these explosions
continued men who had bravely gone tc
the rescue before the first explosion
did not dare to approach the burning
wreckage though they could hear the
agonized shrieks of the dying.
Passengers and trainmen were burned
to crisp, while others were pinned
helplessly in the debris. So completely
incinerated were the bodies that onl.
four could be identified up to II a. m
The women in the wreck suffered great
ly and many of those who escaped wer'
found almost naked. Among those VIII,
got out without injury were Mrs. al

who were on their way to Pittsburg

DR.. Harper's Cure.

DR.. Harper, whose certain prospects
of death from cancer was a few days
ago made the subject of general news
reports and editorial comment, is quot
ed as saying that he has been cured by
the radium treatment. His ailment, an
internal one, was diagnosed by experts
as cancer and the president of Chicago
University accepted the verdict of the
doctors as death sentence. He went
east to make last visit to friends and
co-laborers and took up radium treat
ment. Now the physicians consider
his case we'll under way to complete
recovery and DR.. Harper announces his
belief that he is practically well.
If a certain remedy for cancer has
been found it is priceless to human
kind. No disease is more agonizing or
protracted. To the sufferer from this
dreadful disease death comes as a
benefactor. To acquire malignant can
Ger is to suffer the acme of torture and
the depth of despair and the probable
ity that predisposition to the disease
may be hereditary hangs like Dam
oclean sword over the families in which
the disease has made frequent appear
ance.
We are prone to make the most of
alleged new discoveries and the case of
DR.. Harper is one to inspire hope.
However, the radium treatment is in
it's infancy and may end as hundreds OF
widely heralded specifics have done, in
disappointment. Back of his case, how
ever, are others where equally salts

attained by the use of radium.
