BEST OF PROOF
That Hyomei VIII Cure All Forms of
Catarrhal Diseases.


Testimonials could be printed by the
thousand, many of them from Laurens
and nearby towns, saying that Hyomei
absolutely cures all catarrhal troubles.
The best proof of its unusual curative
powers Is the guarantee that Laurens
Drug Co. give with every outfit they
sell, Money back IL Hyomei does not
do ell that is claimed for it."
Hyomei is not a secret remedy. Its
formula is freely given to physicians
who want to know what they are using
when they prescribe Hyomei. 1t is
Drug Law by Serial No. 1418.
There is no dangerous stomach drug
ging when Hyomei isused. Its healing
medication is breathed through a neat
pocket inhaler, reaching every part of
the air passages, destroying all ca
tarrhal germs and curing the disease.

"0ne Touch of Nature Makes the Whole
World Kin"

When a rooster finds a big fat worm
ne calls all the hens in the farm ward
to come and share it. A similar trait
of human nature is to be observed
when a man discovers something ex-
c:~eptionally good; he wants al" his
friends and neighbors to share the
benefits of his discovery. This is the
touch of nature that makes the whole
world kin. This explains why people

Petitions for Dispensary Election.

Petitions for a dispensary election are
in circulation in the city and throughout
the county which have already nearly
enough signatures to warrant the cleo
ton. 1t is recalled that Laurens has
had one election already on this ques-
ton but on the charge of illegality the
election was declared void, and accord
ing to the statutes no election can be
held in this county until the coming fall.
The prohibition or rather the anti dis
pensary forces, though, have taken time
by the forelock and will be prepared
when the time arrives. tits understood
that these petitions must be in the hands
of the Supervisor by the first day of
May. The contest this fall promises to
be a lively one, especially in view of it's
~closeness at the last election.
