A large proportion if not majority
Of the business men who were thank
ing their lucky stars during the big
confiagration that their valuables
were enclosed in fireproof vaults have
wakened to desperate realization of
the unquestiOnable force of the San
Francisco fire. Within seventy-two
hours there have been SIG safes and
vaults opened in the district east of
Powell and south Of Market streets
and in not more than 60 per cent Of

Breathe Hyome, : Few TImes Daily
and BE- cursd-coes Right to the

In treating catarrhal troubles. the
first thing necessary Is to kill all ca
tarrhal germs that may be present
In the nose. throat and lungs, thus
freeing the system from the poison
that they produce.
Stomach dosing cannot kill these
germs. A direct local treatment Is
absolutely necessary, and for this
purpose nothing else equals Hyomei
Breathed through the neat pocket
inhaler that comes with every out.
TT Hyomei reaches every tissue of
nose. throat and lungs, giving i'm
mediate relief, and effecting a per.
manent cure in the worst cases of
catarrh.
The complete outfit, consisting OF
an inhaler, medicine droppe-, and
one bottle Of Hyomei. costs only 81.
Extra bottles can be obtained for so
cents. f. G. Murphey gives a guaran.
tee with every Hyomei outfit that
the treatment will cost nothing unless
