NOVEL CURE FOR COLDS.
Healing Medication that is Breathed,
Giving Quick Relief.

1t seems just as ridiculous to put
medicine into the stomach to cure A
cold in the head or lungs as it does
to go out in the rain if we want to
keep dry.
The fact that many people right
in North Yakima cough and hawk
and shuttle for days and weeks af-
ter they treat a cold with the usua,
stomach dosing, shows how valueless
are the ordinary cough and cold
cures.
The right way to cure cold in
the head or a cough and irritation in
the throat and lungs, is by breathing
Hyomei's medicated air. Put a
few drops of Hyomei in the neat
pocket inhaler that comes with ev-
cry outfit and breath this healing
air for a few times and immediate
relief will be noted. The medication
right to the spot where the disease
germs are located and renders them
harmless in the future.
At the same time the soothing and
healing effects of Hyomei on the ir-
ritated mucous membrane give quick
relief, and the cough or cold is brok-
en- up.
The best evidence of the great
value of Hyomei in curing coughs,
colds and all bronchial troubles Is
the fact that c. G. Case gives an abb
solute guarantee with every outfit he
sells, that if it does not give salts
faction, the money will be refunded.
A complete Hyomei outfit, consist
ing of bottle of Hyomei, the in
haler and a medicine dropper, costs
but 81, while extra bottles of Hyo-
mel. If needed, can be obtained for
only SO cents.

MOCKERY OF AFFLICTION.

The appearance of a broken-heart-
ed, demented man In North Yakima,
man who performs ludicrous feats
merely because his mind is unsound
has been the cause of much merri-
ment. and from this merriment q
pertinent lesson may be drawn. The
world over 1t is habit to laugh at
deformity and make light Of misery
With weight of affliction on his
mind and an agonizing torment of
pain racking his body, this poor man
became insane and was thereby made
the butt of ridicule and the subject
of jest. Probably in thoughtless
manner those who watched turned
away with a smile ON their faces,
knowing not that this man was fight
ing a fight against grief and was
overwhelmed with pain which
would not leave him. Sorrow should
be met with sympathy and not with
jeers, deformity should draw forth
the helping hand. not the idle. care
less Jest and the sneering smile.
