Natures Catarrh Cure.
Sensible and Scientific Way to Cure this
DiSagreeable Disease.

In no other way can catarrh be cured
as naturally and quickly as by the use of
Hyomei breathed through the neat peck
ct inhaler that comes with every outfit.
In this way all the air that enters the
nasal passages, the throat or the lungs,
is filled with Hyomei's healing medica-
ton, reaching the most remote air cells
OF the respiratory organs, and soothing
and healing the irritated mucous mem
brane.
So strong is W. B. Eastman's faith in
the power of Hyomei to cure catarrhal
troubles, that with every dollar outfit
he sells he gives a guarantee to refund
the money unless it cures.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
$1.00, extra bottles, if needed, SOC.

Publicity or the Lack Of it Makes

We once heard Joe Mitchell Chapple,

Boston, say in beginning an address,
business is the genius of the age A
study OF the activities of the present
day will convince the thoughtful OF the
truthfulness Of Mr.. ChappIe's statement.
ia whatever vocation one may be
placed unless the correct principles OF
business are applied no great measure
OF success will obtain. Publicity is the
handspring that sets all the mechanism
Of any project in motion. Whatever one
may think about it, publicity or the lack
Of it makes or unmakes any and every
enterprise. The idea that many mer-
chants have about advertising in the
dull season is q false one. When Others
cease advertising because times are dull,
then is the time for the progressive mer-
chant to get at the head of the process
