BREAKS UP COLD in TEN HOURS
! Breath Hyomei and Get Quick Relief
Cures All Bronchial Troubles.

AS a usual thing a remedy that has
immediate action contains powerful
drugs that should be used sparingly.
This is n of the reasons why the
ordinary tablets that are sold for
coughs and colds should not be taken
by people with a weak heart, as they
have a dangerous stimulating effect.
When Hyomei, however, Is breathed
quick relief is obtained in a natural
way. It's healing medication goes right
to the spot where the disease germs
are present, at once soothing and heal
ing the irritated mucous membrane.
The action in this way is similar to
spreading a soothing salve upon a
burn.
No other medicine for the cure of
coughs, colds and bronchial troubles
is as rational as Hyomei. Breathing
it through the neat pocket inhaler
which goes with every outfit, it can be
used either in the nose or mouth, thus
getting full. medication into the nasal
passages or the throat and lungs as
desired. 1t gives almost instant re-
lief in all affections of the bronchial
tubes, and is guaranteed to break up
a cold in ten hours. This guarantee
is given by one of the best known drug
firms in Laramie, the Eggleston Drug
company, with every Hyomei outfit it
sells.
A complete Hyomei outfit, consisting
of a bottle Of Hyomei, al inhaler that
can be carried in the vest pocket or
purse, and a medicine ldropper. costs
but one dollar, with a guarantee that
If it does not give satisfaction the
money will be refunded.
Should extra bottles of Hyomei be
needed they can be obtained for only
soc; the inhaler lasts a lifetime.

ORDER THDRA

President Roosevelt has withdrawn
his order of February -, 1907, which
required thai no patents should there
after issue without examination OF the
entry upon the ground by an agent OF
the government. This action is taken
for the reason that congress did not
appropriate an amount sufficient to en-
able the commissioner Of the general
land office to properly carry out the
of that order, which were to
have such examination made of all
applications for patent as would facil-
itate the issuance of title to bona fde
settlers and home-makers, would reduce
illegal entries to a minimum, and bring
the work of the land office up to late.
With the amount actually appropriated
1t is not possible to carry out the or
der, or to provide with certainty Tor
the detection of fraud without causing
unreasonable hardship to bona fde set
tiers and ZONE makers.
The president says that "in order to
accomplish as much as can be &C
complished with our present mean In
preventing Illegal acquisition of public
lands the commissioner of the general
land office will detail all his available
field and office force in such manner,
by concentration or otherwise, as will
as effectively as is possible with the
actual appropriation restrict fraud, en-
force the existing laws, and promote
the bona tide settlement of public lands
BY home-makers."
