City VS.. Country Children

A London scientist says life IN a big
city makes children quick. but not in
telhgent. Indeed, he thinks it often
destroys their chances of being clever,
for it hastens their brain unnaturally.
1t makes them superficial, alert, but INST
observant; excitable, but without one
spark of ENTHUSIASM. They are apt to
grow blase, tickle, discontinued; they
see more than the country bred child,
but not such interesting things; they do
not properly see anything, for they have
neither the time nor the capacity to get
at the root of all the bewildering objects
that crowd themselves into their little
lives

the Guaranteed Cure for Catarrh.
Sampson & Avore have an unusual Of
fer to make to our readers, one that will
be of the creates, value to many.
For some years Sampson & Avore
have been watching the results from the
use of Hyomei, a treatment for catarrh
that cures by breathing medcated air,
absolutely without any stomach dosing.
The results have been 30 universally
successful that they feel justified in
making public offer to treat the worst
case of catarrh in Skowhegan with the
understanding that if Hyomei does not
cure, the treatment will cost absolutely
nothing.
People who have spent large sums
with catsrrh specialists, deriving but
little benefit, or the many who have
swallowed stomach remedies in the vain
hope of curing catarrh, have experienced
almost Immediate relief from the use of
Hyomei. while the continued treatment
for a short time, has resulted in a COM
plete aud lasting cure.
The regular Hyomei outfit costs only
one dollar, and consists of neat pocket
inhaler that can be carried in the purse
or vest. pocket, a medicine dropper, and
a bottle of Hyomei If this is not
enough for cure, extra bottles of
Hyomei can be obtained for 80 cents
Sampson Il Avore positively guarantee
a cure. if Hyomei is used in accordance
with directions, or they will refund the
money.
