the trouble was in the optic nerve and

She had a lover. She could not at
once make up her mind to tell him
what had occurred, what must inevita-
bly, separate them. He had gone to
the gold fields to seek his fortune.
Young. handsome, full Of vigor, he was
perfect man. She, prior to her mis-
fortune had been a perfect woman,
and as yet she still appeared TO be
physically perfect. No one suspected
the slow impairment of her vision, and
so long as II was confined to one eye
she could see objects as distinctly as

ADVERTISEMENTS.
NOT A PATENT MEDICINE.
Hyomei, the Guaranteed Catarrh
cure, Prescribed by Physicians.

No one should corfound Hyomel
with the patent medicines that are
advertised to cure catarrh. 1t IS as
far superior to them all as the dia-
mond is more valuable than cheap
glass. Their composition is secret
but Hyomei gives it's formula to all
reputable physicians.
Its base is the valuable eucalyptus
oil. famous for its antiseptic qualities.
This is combined with aromatic and
healing gums and balsams, making
pure liquid, which when used in the
Hyomei pocket inhaler, fills the air
you breathe with germ killing, DIS
ease-destroylng aud healing powers
that kill all catarrhal germs there
may be in the throat, nose and lungs.
How foolish it is to try and cure
catarrh by swallowing tablets OF
liquids The only natural way to cure
TINS disease and all other diseases OIL
the respiratory organs is to breathe
Hyomei.
This treatment has been so success
ful, curing 90 per cent. of all VINO
have used it, that Hyomei is now sold
by q. A. Parcher under an absolute
guarantee to refund the money II 1t
does not cure. You run no risk What.
ever In buying Hyomei. If it did not
possess unusual powers to cure, IL
could not be sold upon this plan.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
sl.00 and comprises an inhaler, bol-
tie OF Hyomei and a dropper. no
inhaler will last lifetime; and addl-,
tlonal bottles Of Hyomei can be oD-
tanned for 81 cents.
