There is really not the slightest ex- cuse for anyone having catarrh, now that Hyomei is so widely known and so easily obtained The worst cases of catarrh are quickly cured. simply by breathing the remedy through the pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit
 Used in this way for a few minutes four times d day, every particle of air that reaches the nose, throat and lungs is laden with germ killing and health giving Hyomei
 The sale of the old fashioned stom- ach remedies for catarrh has been re- duced to almost nothing since the in troduction of Hyomei. H. Goodman will tell you that his sales on this out Of-date line have fallen off at least two thirds in the last few years, while the demand for HyOmei has increased as it's curative powers became more widely known.
 The complete outfit consisting of a neat pocket inhaler. a medicine drop per, and bottle of HyOmei costs only one dollar, while extra bottles can be obtained for 50 cents, making Hyumei the most economical as well as the most reliable method for curing ca tarrh.
 H. Goodman positively guarantees a cure when Hyomei is used in accord ance with directions. or he will refund the purchase price.

people to picnic and to walk through
that part of the property lying along
the river. The American millionaire
threw them out and threatened them
with the utmost rigors of the law.
Now that he has settled the estate on
his son, the inhabitants of Cookham
and Maidenhead on the Thames
surrounding hamlets-are delighted,
for they believe that young Astor will
at once give orders for the cancel
latiOn of the many strict orders against
trespassing made by his father-orders
which turned all the riverside folk in
to bitter enemies of the American
millionaire.
Great walls surmounted with broken
glass to protect the Astor vegetable
garden spoil lovely views from the
public road, and anybody daring to
picnic in the Cliveden woods, as in
the olden days, is at once threatened
by a keeper with Imprisonment.
1t is believed that young Mr.. Aston
who is very popular with rowing men
will abolish these feudal and dis
tasteful regulations.
