They don't read books. The old
people look for deaths, the young
look for marriages, the business

Invite a Test.
@. NJ. Crosby & Co. Ask Catarrh Suffer
ers to Try Hyomei on Their
Guarantee.

G. NJ. Crosby & Co invite all who
suffer from any form of catarrhal trou-
bles to get Hyomei outfit from them
with their absolute guarantee that if it
does not give absolute satisfaction, the
money will be refunded upon request.
There is no other treatment for ca
tarrh that in any way resembles Hyo-
mel, none that gives such quick cura-
tive results and lasting satisfaction, no
medicine that can take its place, none
that can be sold on a guarantee like
this, to refund the money unless it
cures.
Catarrh is germ disease and can be
cured only by breathing Hyomei, so
that the most remote air cells in the
nose, throat and lungs are reached by
its antiseptlc healing powers. In this
way all catarrhal germs are killed, the
irrltated mucous membrane is healed
and catarrh is driven from the system.
This wonderful medicated air treat
ment does not drug and derange the
stomach, but is breathed through a lit
tie pocket inhaler that goes with every
dollar outfit.
The unusual way in which C. NJ.
Crosby d Go. sell Hyomei sttests their
confidence in the remedy.

TO HURT YOUR TOWN,

An observant country editor
gives this advice to readers upon
how to hurt your town:
Distrust public men.
Oppose improvements.
Fight on the streets.
Run down your officers.
Run down your newspapers.
Go to some other town to trade.
Run down your town to stran-
gers.
Refuse to advertise in your pa
pers,
Run down everything and every
body but No. l.
Be particular to discredit the
motives of public spirited men and
corporations.
If a man wants to buy your
property, ask HIM two prices for it.
If he wants anybody else's, IN
terfere and discourage him.
Lengthen your face when a
stranger speaks of locating in your
town.
Refuse to see the merit in any
scheme that does not exa ,tly ben
eft you,
Don't invest cent; lay all yopr
money somewhere else.
Talk in 'loafiing" places of how
bad times are, and of how every
thirg ard everybody is going to
the "demnition bow-wows. F."
