"WHlSkEY" COLD CURES.
Danger Of Using Alcoholic Mixtures or
Coal Tar Tablets.

The most dangerous thing that one
can do when affected with cough or
cold is 10 use a medicine that contains
whiskey or a tablet that is made OF
some coal tar product. Putting aside
all moral objections to filling up with
whiskey or drugs because one has a
cold. the injurious physical effect
should be sufficient to keep one from
using these strong medicines.
The most scientific as well as the
only scientific way to treat a cough or
cold is by inhaling medication that
will kill the germs and give relief to
the irritated mucous membrane in the
nose, throat and lungs.
Among the few remedies that are
used in this way, Hoymel stands pre-
eminent It is breathed through
neat pocket inhaler that comes with
every outfit, and the first breath OF its
healing air relieves the irritation AMI
its continued use soon effects
thorough cure.
The best people in Astoria always
keep Hyomei on hand in the winter
months, and at the first symptoms Of
a cold or bronchial trouble, use the
remedy and prevent serious and last
ing illness. If you have any doubts
as to the effects of Hyomei in curing
coughs, colds and all bronchial trou-
bles, the guarantee T. F. Laurin gives
with every outfit should convince you
of it's curative powers. A Hyomei out
fit costs 81 and if it does not give
satisfaction T. F. Laurin will return
your money
Extra bottles OF Hyomei If needed,
can be obtained for soc, but the com
plete outfit is usually enough to cure
several colds.

IN LIFE'S BRIEF SPAN.
Experiences, Joys and Sorrows of the
 Human Existence.

The loves and friendships of indi- viduals partake of the frail character of human life, and are brief and un- certain. The experience of a human life may be shortly summed up: A little loving and a good deal of sor- rowing; some bright hopes and many bitter disappointments; some gor- geous Thursdays when the skies are bright and the heavens blue, when Providence, bending over us in bless ings, glads the heart almost to mad ness; many dismal Fridays, when the smoke of torment beclouds the mind and undying sorrows gnaw upon the heart; some high ambitions and many Waterloo defeats, until the heart be- comes like a charnel house filled with dead affections, embalmed in holy but sorrowful memories; and then the chord is loosed, the golden bowl is broken, the individual life-a cloud, a vapor, passes away.-Matthew Hale Carpenter,

"The girl often hap pens to balk,' he says, "and the fel- low gets it in the neck. The ring for that intended may not fit the finger of the next intended; so I stretch it for nothing. I have stretched rings as many as five times for one man." Why not use rubber rings?

He had walked one mile during each hour for 1, ,OOO consecutive hours, and although he is 65 years old, he at no time during this test of his strength has shown any signs of fal- tering. This is one of the most re- markable walking tests ever witnessed in America, and the medical world has been intensely interested as to the out come. It is said that the Internation- al Tuberculosis Association persuaded OLeary to attempt the walk, and that he is to receive $5,000 for accomplish ing the task.

WHALES PE-RU-NA?
Is it a Catarrh Remedy, or a
 Tonic. or is if ROf1?

Some people call Peruna a great tonic. Others refer to Peruna as a great catarrh remedy.
 Which of these people are right? Is it more proper to call Peruna ca tarrh remedy than to call it tonic9
 Our reply is, that Peruna is both a tonic and catarrh remedy. Indeed, there can be 20 effectual catarrh rem edy that is not also a tonic.
 In order to thoroughly relieve any case of catarrh, remedy must not only have specific action on the mu- cous membranes affected by the ca- tarrh, but it must have a general tonic action on the nervous system.
 Catarrh, even in persons who are otherwise strong, is a weakened con- dition of some mucous membrane. There must be something to strength. en the circulation, to give tone to the arteries, and to raise the vital forces.
 Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the world has attracted so much attention from medical writers as HYDRASTIS CANADENSIS. The wonderful efi- cacy of this herb has been recognized many years, and is growing in its hold upon the medical profession. When joined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA a trio of medical agents is formed in Pc. runa which constitutes specific rem- edy for catarrh that in the present state of medical progress cannot be improved upon. This action, rein- forced by such renowned tonics as C0LLINS0NIA CANADENSIS. COR. YDALIS F0RMOSA and CEDRON SEED, ought to make this compound an ideal remedy for catarrh in all it's stages and locations in the body.
 From a theoretical standpoint, there. fore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The use tf Peruna, confirms this opinion. Numberless testimonials from every quarter of the earth furnish ample evidence that this judgment is not over enthusiastic. When practical ex- perience confirms well-grounded the- ory the result is truth that cannot be shaken.

Saw It Come Out of a Cow.

A little city boy and his sister Dorothy were taken to the country for the first time
 The two children were happy as the cay was long. In the late afternoon they watched the cows come home, heard with delight the tinkling cow bells, and the little boy even went to the barns to see the milking done
 At supper, just as Dorothy was lift ing her glass to her rosy lips, the boy cried out:
 "Oh, Dotty, don't! You musn't drink that milk. It's not fit to drink. It came out of a COW; I saw it."
