A Young man whose name was not
learned had an experience on the river
above the steamboat wharf Wednes-
day afternoon which he will not care to
undergo again in hurry. Two or
three boys were fishing through the ice
in tne cove above the island on the
east shore and one of them started out
IN cross to the west side of the river.
The ice is very thin in places and when
he reached point about midway be-
tween the shores he broke through and
won't INTO the water. None of the 9TH
or BOYS were near him and as the cur
rent in the middle of the river is swift
II was a wonder that he was not car
r;ed under the ice. but he kept afloat
NV swimming and although he broke
TOO for some little distance he at length
found some solid enough to support his
weight and crawled out. He then made
h,s way to the other shore and after
Getting one of the other boys to help
h;r wiring out his jacket, started for
hcme.

CARD FROM BoWDiTcH, WEBSTER
E. co. AND PERCY w. MEANS.
Their Liberal Offer to Treat Worst
Case of Catarrh in Augusta.

To the Editor:
For some time VIC have had an Op-
portunity to watch the results following
the use of Hyomei, a treatment for ca :
tarrh that cures by breathing medi-
Gated air, absolutely without any
stomach dosing. The results have been
so remarkable that we feel justified in
making a public offer to treat the worst
case of catarrh in Augusta with the
understanding that if Hyomei does not
cure, it will cost absolutely nothing.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs only
81, and consists of an inhaler that can
be carried in the vest pocket. medi-
cine drOpper and d bottle Of Hyomei.
Should this not be enough for a cure,
extra bottles of Hyomei can be obtain
ed for so cents.
We hope this offer will be accepted
by many Of your readers.
Very truly yours.
