HAIR NATURALLY ABUNDANT.
when II Is Free OF Dandrun, 1t Grows
Luxuriantly.

Hair preparations and dandruff cures,
as rule. are sticky or irritating affairs
that do no earthly good. Hair, when not
diseased. grows naturally, luxurlantly.
Dandruff is the cause Of nine-tenths Of
all hair trouble. and dandruff is caused
by a germ. The only way to cure dand-
ruff is to kill the germ: and, so far, the
only hair preparation that will positively
destroy the germ is Newbro's Herpicide-

sediment, dye matter or dangerous drugs.

violinist is rarely heard than Miss Mary
Niles, and her selection from II Trovatore
was rendered with great skill and finish.

deserved applause and added much to the
the cantata The Wreck of the Hesperus,

WONDERFUL CURE
OF SORE HANDS
BY Cuticura After the
Most Awful Suffering
Ever Experienced
EIGHT DOCTORS
And Many Remedies Failed
to do q Cents Worth

"I was troubled with sore hands, so
sore that when l would put them in
water the pain would nearly set me
crazy, the skin would peel off and the
flesh would get hard and break. There
would be blood flowing from at least
fifty places on each hand. Words could
never tell the suffering endured for
three years. I tried everything, but
could get no relief. l tried at least
eight different doctors, but none did
me any good, as my hands were as bad
when I got through doctoring as when
I began. l also tried many remedies,
but none of them ever did me one
cents worth of good. l was discour-
aged and heart-sore. would feel so
bad mornings, to think had to go to
work and stand the pain for ten hours,
I often felt like giving up my position.
Before I started 70 work 1 would
have to wrap every finger up sep
arately, so as to try and keep them
soft, and then wear gloves over the
rags to keep the grease from getting
on my work. At night would have
to wear gloves in fact, had to wear
gloves all the time. But thanks to
Cuticura, that is all over now.

Stops Sneezing and Smartins.

r. Ii. Moody is recommending to bis Gus
toners as cure for hay fever, IIyomei.
1t is claimed for this remedy that it stops
the spasmodic paroxysms, the sneezing, the
smarting and running of the eyes and nose,
and other acute symptoms of this disease
Many persons have been cured of hay
fever by Hyomei, and the discoverer of the
remedy processes to be able to prevent both
the occurrence Of the annual attack and to
stop the progress of the disease, even in the
most chronic forms.
A. Hamlin of Westford, Mass, writes ::
"Hyomei cured me of hay fever in one
weeks time. | consider it duty to tell
others who suffer from this disease"
This endorsement is only one of hun
dreds that have been received by the pro
prietors Of Hyomei, and R. H. Moody offers
to refund the money if Hyomei does not do
all that is claimed for it, is the strongest
proof that can be given as to the confidence
ne has in Hyomei power to cure hay fever.

ton when it suggests that ''now so
many people have summer cottages
that they do not find it necessary to go

it. AID it may be said further that
while the old time camp meetings were
usually confined to one week, now the
vacation season is extended over two
months OF more, and many who cannot
conveniently attend the camp meeting
take tAeil vacation before or after that
event. 1t IS not so many years ago that
there was not a permanent building on

Ground, and at the close of the annual
camp meeting the attendants ''fOlded
their tents like the Arabs and depart

they were erected and the wooden
