Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-worlIing in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
Ii used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced 10 the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
Il constitutional diseases have their begin
ing in kidney trouble.

BETTER THAN MEDICINE.
Breathe HyOmei's Tonic Healing and
be Cured of Catarrh.

Nature has a remedy 70 rcatarrh, a
treatment that is far better than dos
ing the stomach with medicine.
1t is the healing oils and balsams
of Hyomei which medicates the air
you breathe, reaching the most re-
mote air cells in the nose, throat and
lungs, killing all catarrhal germs,
and restoring health to the mucous
membranes.
In using Hyomei you are treating
your catarrhal troubles with the only
natural remedy, for it gives a cura-
tive air bath to the air passage that
has as powerful healing and antisceptic
effect as that found in the noun
tains where the pine forests give off
their fragrant and healing balsams.
Breathe the invigorating and heal
ing Hyomei, and see how quickly you
will get relief from your catarrhal
troubles. Dodson's Pharmacy has
seen so many cures, even of the worst
cases of catarrh, with offensive
breath, raising of mucous, frequent
sneezing, droppings in the throat and
spasmodic coughing, that they feel
warranted in selling Hyomei under
an absolute guarantee to refund the
money if it does not do all that is
claimed for it. They take all the risk.

finger on the cause" of Dandruff, Fab
