LETTER TO r. G. S.. BLlNN.
MIDDLEBURY,

Dear Sir: A big mill-owner, Spartans-
burg, s.. c., wanted 5000 gallons of paint,
and bought by price; paid 8 cents less
than ours; got a 'lead-and-zinc' paint;
but the lead was sulphate Of lead, not
carbonate. Sulphate costs about half
and covers about half.
That paint was adulerated about six
times as much as the 5 cents paid for,
He saved" 5 cents; and it costs him
30.
Oh no; it cost him more than that; we
forgot the labor. Can't work it out Ak
actly; don't know how long it'll e
Short measure besides; that alone was
twice as much as his Saving" 8 cents.
1t was thin, too; some loss there; don't
know how much.
There was too much dryer in it. The
maker made something on that; he
didn't.
Taking it altogether, he didn't make
much by that 5 cents.
Go by the name: and the name is De-
voc lead-and-zinc,
Yours truly

WHAT Is CATARRH?
Hyomei Cures this Common and Dis.
agreeable Disease.

az u DiSthscs
Hyomei cures catarrh by the simple
method of breathing it into the air
passages and lungs. 1t kills the germs
of the catarrhal poison, heals and
soothes the irritated mucous mem
brane, enters the blood with the oxy-
gen and kills the germs present there,
effectually driving this disease from the
system.
If you have any of the following
symptoms, catarrhal germs are at work
somewhere in the mucous / embrane of
the nose, throat, bronchial tubes or
tissue of the lungs.
offensive breath huskiness OF voice
dryness of the nose discharge from the
pnin across the eyes nose
pain in back OF the stoppage of the nose
head at night
pain in front OF the aching of the body
head d|roppings in the
tendency to take cold throat
burning pain in the mouth open while
head sleeping
hawking to clear the tickling back OF the
throat palate
pain in the chest formation OF crusts in
n cough the nose
stitch in side dryness of the throat
losing of flesh in the morning
variable appetite loss of strength
spasms OF coughing
low spirited Mt times cough short and hack
raising of froth mu- ing
cous cough worse nights
expectoratng yellow and mornings
matter loss in vital force
difficulty i'm breath. a feeling of tightness
Ing across the upper
frequent sneezlng part OF the chest
HyOmei will cure the disease, des-
troys activity of all germ life in the
respiratory organs, enrich and purify
the blood with additional ozone, and
after a few days use of this treatment
the majority of these symptoms will
have disappeared. In "A few weeks the
cure will be complete.
Catarrh or catarrhal colds cannot exist
when HyOmei is used. This is a strong
statement, but w. II. Sheldon emphasize
it by agreeing to refund your money if
Hyomei does not cure.

Nitro-C Culture is a germ, sold in dry

with each PACKAGE. When seeds are
sprinkled with the solution before
planting, the germs multiply in the soil
very rapidly. and cause Nodules TO
form on the roots of plants. These
Nodules collect the nitrogen out Of the
air, and feed the plant roots. Nitro
