SIMPLE CATARRH REMEDY
Take hyomei Treatment Four Times a
Day and be Cured

-Hyomei has performed almost
miraculous cures and is today recogni-
zed by leading members of the medi-
Cal profession as the only advertised
remedy for this disease that can be
relied upon to do just what it claims,
Until recently your physician would
have said the only way to cure catarrh
would be to have a change of climate,
but now VIII Hyomei you can carry
health-giving climate in your vest
pocket and by breathing it few min
utes four times day, cure yourself.
The Hyomei treatment is simple
and easy to use. It destroys all catarrh
germs In the air passages and enriches
and purities the blood With ozone.
When using Hyomei the air you
breathe will seem like that on the
mountains, high above the sea level.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but
S1.00, extra bottles, SOC. Ii it does
not give you satisfaction, Wood
County Drug Co., will! refund your
money. You run no risk whatever in
taking this reliable treatment.

Louie Bennett, the eccentric Pitts

Friday by Deputy Sheriff Favell and
taken before County Judge Conway.
After the necessary examination the
County Judge committed him to the
Insane Asylum at Oshkosh. Bennett
has been quite a character and at
times his eXcentricity bordered very
closely onto insanity, but not until he
went looking for trouble Thursday
with an old army musket, was he then
thought to be dangerous.
