SPRING CATARRH.
w H.iSheIdon SeiislHyomei Under
Guarantee of Cure

The changeable weather of Spring is
directly responsible for the prevalence of
catarrhal troubles in Middlebury at the
present time.
AS result, w. H. Sheldon has had
larger salel for Hyomei the past week
than ever before in the years that he
has handled this reliable treatment for
the cure of catarrh.
Unlike the ordinary remedies that have
been used in catarrhal trou bles, there is
no stomach dosing with Hyomei. 1t is
breathed through neat pocket inhaler
that comes with every outfit, and its bal
samic, antiseptic healing penetrates to
the most remote cells of the nose, throat
and lungs, killing all catarrhal germs,
healing the irritated mucous membrane,
and effecting complete and permanent
cure.
If there is a single catarrhal germ in
the system, Hyomei will search it out
and absolutely destroy it completely
eradcating the trouble. The remedy has
ma de so manylcures among w. H. Shell
don's customersIthat he offers to pay for
it himself if it does not benefit even the
worst case oftcatarrh.
The complete outfit costs only 81, con-
sisting.of an inhaler, medicine dropper,
and bottle oflHyomei, while extra bottles
of Hyomei can be obtained for 80 cents.
There will not be even this small ex-
pense if Hyomei does not cure, as w. H.
Sheldon will return your money,

Consul Harris, of Chemnitz, devel-

future helmsmen the most thorough
educational training. He writes:
"A number of young assessors, who
have practically completed their law
studies, have been delegated to spend
from six months to a year in some Of

establishments in Chemnitz, Leipzig

satisfied at the step and gladly well
come the young men, for the reason
that they are interested directly and
indirectly in improving the state SER
vice. so that affairs pertaining to trade
and industries will receive more ap-
preciative attention in the future. My
informant has one of these young men

Floh ting Ocean Life.

recent British scientific expedi.
zion discovered that the Indian ocean
floating life is exceedingly abundant
at all depths down to about 1900 feet
in seas 5000 feet deep. By floating
life is meant animals which form the
food of whales and deep ocean fish
and which, up to the present. have
been believed to live on or very close
20 the surface. A variety of enormous
squids were fished out, as well as
iellyfish, and prawns fully six inches
long. Some of these latters were
blind. while others had huge eyes.
but nearly all of them had phosphor-
escent organs, which would naturally
be due to the fact that they live at a
depth where almost total darkness
prevails. The blind varieties had
enormous feelers or antennae, some
of them extending to twice the length
of their bodies.
