Hyomei the Only Cure for catarrh
Which Returns Your Money If Not
Satisfactory.

Hyomei the Only Cure for catarrh
Which Returns Your Money If Not
Satisfactory.
1t is seldom that a druggist has
enough faith in the medicine he sells
even when prepared by iimself to be
willing to refund the money If il
does not cure; but Hyomei has cured
so many cases OF catarrh among the
customers of u. James Belt that he
offers to refund the money to all who
use il and report that they are not
satisfied.
Hyomei is the simplest and most
convenient remedy for catarrh ever
offered to the public. Breathed through
an inhaler so small that it can be car
ried in the vest pocket, for a few
minutes four times a day, it will alb
solutely kill all the germs of catarrh
and cure the disease. Catarrh cannot
I exist where Hyomei is used. 1t has a
two-fold action, killing all the germs
in the air passages and lungs and
soothing and healing. the irritated mu-
cous membrane. t
Some of the most prominent men
and women of the country have
gladly given testimonials to Hyomei.
After seeking relief in vain for years
this wonderful remedy has cured them
of catarrrh, and II is no wonder that
they want others TO know of Il.
/ ID. o. Croft, Editor of the Nicholas
willie. Ky. News. writes: Ever since
was a young man have been troubled
with catarrh, and in later years the
disease became unbearable. Hyomei

How to Roast oOnee In the House

HOW TO Roast Oouee IN the hoHHes
1t is some trouble to roast coffee in
the house, but the result more than
pays for the trouble, says the New
York Post. Buy the green coffee in
any quantity, just so it is not too large,
and roast It a pound at time. One ex-
pert puts the bean in a common iron
spider with a tablespoonful of butter
and stirs over the fire until the coffee
is quite hot. 1t is then put in a shall
low baking pan in a hot oven and
roasted 10 n dark chestnut brown, stir
ring well from time to time to prevent
burning, and also to allow the beans to
brown evenly on all sides. The odor
Of the roasting coffee is delicious, and,
by the way, acts as clearing agent,
rendering the atmosphere clean and
fresh after the fragrance has disap-
peared. Never grind more coffee than
IS needed for a single brewing, as the
bean loses strength after grinding.
