EASY TO CURE CATARRH

You can do exactly what CD Ster-

After having suffered from chronic
catarrh for years, for which | tried
various remedies without success |

reading about Hyomei, l decided to
make one more effort to rid myself Of
the dread disease, and to my delight

recommending this remedy to all suf-

We don't simply say HyOmei will
cure catarrh, but We say that Hughes

catarrh, or money back. He does
more-he guarantees it to cure asth.

colds. A complete Hyomei outfit,
including inhaler, costs only 81. 90 and
extra bottles, if you afterwards need
one, will cost but SO cents. HyOmei
is a pleasant dry air treatment. You

were crushed and ground in a ma
chine together with a like quantity
of potatoes and fried in a pan with
some fat, the process being some
what similar to that of baking potato
tartS. These tarts were placed in the
stables in the evening together with
some vessels Of water. Forty-thrte
dead rats were the result. AS it was
not believed that there were SO many
rats, not enough tartS had deem pre-
pared, and a few of the animals re-
NAMED alive. A second trial was
made, chopped-up meat being mixed
with the squillS as a change, but the
rats refused to touch them. After
waiting about three months sea
onions were again crushed with pota-
toes and made into tartS with fat;
but care was taken this time to pre-
pare a sufficient quantity. The re-
suit was that thirty-two rats were
killed. Since that time, says the
Scientific American, no rats have
been seen in the place. One advan
tage of the squill OF sea onion is that
it is destructive only to rodents. Care
must be taken while crushing that
the juice does not come in contact
with the hands, as it is liable to cause
painful burning.
