collegiate work was at Carleton Col

his time in this state. His first sup
erintendency was at Freeport, where he
remained one year. going from there
to Leroy Mimi, where he remained

Sam Hoover Finds Something Better

Than Gold Mines.
There is no happier man in this
whole wide world today than Sam
A., Hoover, of Greensboro, N. c., who
is receiving the congratulations of
his friends upon his fortunate find OF
something better than gold mines or
oil wells. Mr.. Hoover, in a letter to
friend in Marshalltown, writes:
"Three months ago I was greatly
distressed by nasal catarrh, and en-
tire deafness in the right ear. The
labor Of hawking and scrap ping to get
my throat and nasal passages free
from foul secretions deposited
there, might be about equal to that
of six-mule team with road-scrap-
er to get the earth from the roadside
to the center.
I purchased an outfit Of Hyomei
and Hyomei balm and as result of
its use my head, throat and nasal
passages are all free from secretions
of any sort, only as nature designed.
and my hearing in both ears is near
ly as acute as it ever was"
There is no disagreeable stomach
dosing in using Hyomei; just breathe
I it and it's pure fragrance will kill the
catarrhal germs in the head, throat
and lungs. Hyomei balm, used in con-
nection with Hyomei will cure the
worst case of catarrhal deafness.
The complete outfit costs but 81,
and extra bottles are only so cents.
Ask Mcbride & Will to show you the
strong guarantee under which they sell
Hyomei. It costs nothing unless 1t
cures.
