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

Nature has a remedy for catarrh, 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
breath, reaching the most remote air
cells in the nose, throat and lungs,
killing all catarrhal germs. and re-
storing health to the mucous mem
brane.
In using Hyomei you are treating
your catarrhal troubles with the only
natural remedy, for it gives a curative
air bath to the air passages that has
as powerful healing and antiseptic eff
feet as that found in the mountains
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. Summers Pharmacy has seen
so many cures, even of the worst cases
of catarrh, with offensive breath, rails
ing of mucus, frequent sneezlng, drop
pings in the throat and spasmodic
coughing, that they feel warranted in
selling Hyomei under an absolute
guarantee to refund the money If II
does not do all that is claimed for 1t
They take all the risk.

PAVEMENT IS SINKING
Depression Appears in
Broadway Roadway and
Walk Spring Blamed.


Gary. Oct. 24.-With all the Difficult
ties that the authorities of Gary have
had to face in the building of Broad
way, 1t was thought that when the
street was paved, the worst of the
trouble would be over, but a new and
serious complication has arisen, that
requires immediate attention. On the
main thoroughfare, between Fifth and
Sixth avenues, the pavement and side
walk for space of twenty five feet
have appeared to be sinking a little
each day since the work at this sec
ton has been completed. The depres-
sion is now marked, and has been no.
ticed by passers-by and the attention
of the authorities has been called to
1t. 1t appears that the street and side
walk have sunk at least six inches
and may sink still further
Just what caused the depression is
not known, but the theory is that a
slough or spring exists directly be-
meath this spot and that it is con-
stantly draining away the sand filling.
The granitoid pavement has sunk with
the earth and the cement sidewalk
has the same appearance, so 1t is evil
dent that it is not the fault of the con-
tractor.
Many opinions have been advanced
as to the remedy of the depression.
Some engineers think that the whole
street will have to be torn up again
and raised while others are of the
opinion that 1t will be necessary to
drive piles to hold the filing. 1t is
also thought that there may be a
quicksand bed beneath the place.
