CURES CATARRHAL DEAFNESS.
One Weeks Use of Hyomei Did More
Than Six Months Treatment BY
Specialists

In the treatment of deafness which is
often result of catarrh, Hyomei acts
almost Immediately upon the inhamed
membrane and the hearing begins to re-
turn at once. A few days treatment will
bring relief and i'll three or four weeks
according to the severity of the case, a
cure will be accomplished.
Miss Mecke of Mattewan y. y, SAYS
Hyomei is truly wonderful. have used
il but a short time and see great change
in my condition My hearing is improv-
ing rapidly, and | had no idea | would
improve so rapidly in so short a time
NV breath which was so offensive TO
myself and others, has lost its bad odor
entirely. have spent a great deal of
money with catarrh specialists and can
truly say that six months of their treat
ment is not equal TO one month of Hy-
omei"
Chas Rhodes is selling Hyomei npon
the unusual plan OF agreeing TO refund
the money if the medicine does not cure.
A complete outfit costs only 81 90 and
consists of an inhaler that can be carried
in the vest pocket, a medicine dropper
and a bottle OF Hyomei The inhaler
will last lifetime and there is enough
Hycmei for veral we, ks treatment.
Additional bottles OF Hyomei can be pro-

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine,
one from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney dis
ease, another from nervous exhaustion or
prostration, another with pain here and
there, and i'm this way they all present
alike 10 themselves and their eaSy-gOing
and Indifferent, or over-busy doctor, sep
arate and distinct diseases, for which he,
assuming them 10 be such, prescrlbes his
pills and potiOns. In reality they are all
only symptoms caused by some womb dis
ease. The physician, ignorant of the
cause of suffering, encourages this prac-
tice until large bills are made. The suf-
1erlng patient gets no better, but prob
ably worse, by reason OF the delay, wrong
treatment and consequent complications.
A proper medicine like DR.. Pierce's Fa-
lvorite Prescription, directed 10 the cause
would have entirely removed the disease,
thereby dispelling all those distressing
symptoms, and instituting comfort in
stead OF prolonged misery. 1t has been
well said that "a disease known Is half
cured" In cases almost innumerable,
after all other medicines had failed TO
help and doctors had said there was no
cure possible the use of DR. Pierce's Fa-
lvorite Prescription, supplemented when
necessary by medical advice and counsel
OF DR.. Pierce, has resulted in a perfect
and permanent cure. The genuineness OF
entire disappearance Of pain, but by a

able than the invention of flying ma
chimes. He seems to have set on foot
a really systematic study of the air
in the upper atmosphere. Dur
ing n of his long cruises last year he
perfected a system of kites which en-.
abled him to secure useful information
at an altitude of about $4,000 feet. In
order to secure the advantages of 20.
ordination and comparison, his high.
ness has induced the German govern.
ment to order a series of similar ex-
periments on certain warships, while

vatory. Here is an international work

SIX CASfE L.
Cart Connoisseur Who VIII Head Metro
politan Museura of New York;
American institution, a substantial in
rea in salary.
His life as director of the South Ken
sington museum, was made miserable
by the badgering, fiddling and fidgeting
of a parcel of Philistine civil service Of
ficials who liked to amuse themselves by
winding and unwinding spools of red
tape.
Sir Purdon owes all his great success
in his chosen work to his own laborious
efforts. He started humbly enough, and
in continuous connection with museum
work of one kind or other, steadily
worked his way to the front. His expert
ence and knowledge as a collector in the
broad field of illustrative study and ap-
piled art are known as exceptional. By
a lifetime of arduous service-Sir Pur-
don is in his sixtieth year-he qualified
himself for the Encouragement of the
vast collections of South Kensington in
the new buildings to be completed in the
course of a few years.
His pathway as a student was show
cred with honors and rewards. AS an
architect he designed several consular
and embassy buildings and the Indian
pavilion in the first Paris exposition.
AS a collector he made many journeys
to the continent and a long tour in India.
He received his appointment as director
of the museum at Kensington nine years
ago, and was made a knight in recogni-
ton of his talent.

is now said that these six stations are
not sufficient, and the Berlin observa-
tory has therefore decided to send an
expedition out to establish two more
polar stations, n of which will be
near the city of Perth, western Aus
tralia, and the other one at Cordoba.
in the Argentine republic. 1t is x
pected that both stations will be es-

stations will, of course, work together

Two Indians had accompanied him as
| guides, but the proposition looked to
them like heap much work" and they
left him in the lurch. The mule couldn't
stand the pace, either. and died. But
the Indians were kinder than they
knew, for this incident awoke in the
man all his latent ~doggedness. He
meant to see his plans through. He
didn't intend to be a failure. So he kept
on, locating the line where it now runs.
That little incident made a hit with
Stevens %superiors. Stevens pass, in
the Cascade mountains. was named after
him. James ]. Hill. president of the road,
has declared that of the 5000, 900 spent
by the Great Northern in its surveying,
not a dollar as wasted by Engineer Ste
vens.
The new canal digger has had a wide
experience. Here are some of the of
fees he has held: Engineer and super
%intendent of surveys for Sabine Pass
and Northwestern road; assistant en-
gineer Denver & Rio Grande; principal
assistant engineer Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul; similar position with Cana
dian Pacific, making road through
Rocky mountains and Selkirk range, g
triumph of engineering; assistant chief
engineer of the Duluth, South Shore &
Atlantic from Sault Ste. Marie to Du-
luth; chief engineer Great Northern:
then railroad contractor; resumed pre-
vious position; chief engineer and later
vice president Rock Island. He resigned
his position with the Rock Island in
May of the present year to become rail
way expert for the Philippine commits
sion.
Mr.. Stevens is a large, massively
built man, without superfiuous flesh.
He would be called at first sight a perfect
specimen of physical manhood. He re-
sides with his family-Mrs. Stevens
and three sons-in a beautiful home on
Lake Shore drive in Chicago. The eld-
est son, Doland, aged %, is following in
his fathers footsteps, "r~ailroading" in
Indian territory.
Mr.. Stevens salary will be $50, 900
5000 more, by the way, than Wallace
was getting. Mr.. Stevens will have a
free hand in the work of construction.
