REMEDY FOR HAY FEVER.
After Trying Other Treatments, IIy-

After Trying Other Treatments, Ily-
omei Was Used with Perfect Sue
cess.
Before the discovery of Hyomei
the only advice a physician could
give his hay fever patients, was to
go away from home, but now anyone
who is subject to this disease can,
if Hyomei is used, stay at home with
out fear of the annual attack of
sneezing, watery eyes, and other dis
comforts.
j. f. Forbes, a well known West
ern railroad man, whose home is at
McCook, Nebraska, writes II have
never had any relief from any rem
edy for hay fever, even temporarily,
until | discovered the merits of Hyo-
mel. | always recommend it when
occasion requires"
There is no offensive or danger
u stomach dosing when Hyomei is
used. This reliable remedy for the
cure of all diseases of the respiratory
organs is breathed through a neat
pocket inhaler that comes with every
outfit, so that the air taken into the
throat and lungs is like that pr the
White Mountains or other health re-
sorts, where hay fever is unknown.
The fact that G. A. Sexton agrees
to refund the money to any hay few
or sufferer who uses Hyomei without
success, should inspire confidence
in it's power to effect a cure. A COM
plete outfit costs only $1.00 and ex-
ira bottles but so cents.

Another Steel Bridge Erected

The members of the board OF super
visors went to Nettleton Wednesday for
the purpose of examining the steel
bridge which has just been constructed
over Town Creek on the Shannon and
Nettleton road by the Nashville Bridge
Co. The board found the work, after
a careful inspection, to be fully UP to
the specifications and contract and were
ready to receive it. ihe main span is
66 feet long, the entire length being
180 feet with foundation that is guar
anteed to stand. The cost of the
bridge was 81, 800, while an old fashion
wood bridge would cost over $500. 90
and would not have stood more than
seven or eight years. The board has
acted wisely in building bridge that
will stand the hard usage which a
bridge at this particular place must
stand. The overflow of the creek
here makes it's necessary that a very
substantial structure should be erected
and the board is to be congratulated
on having erected a bridge that will
meet all the requirements and will
prove to be the most economical. The
only other steel bridge in the county is
that over the canal on the Verona and
Tupelo road, and during the eight years
it has been there the county has not
paid out penny for repairs. 1t is
economy to build such bridges wherever
a new one is needed.
