CATARRH YIELDS
To Healing Air OF Hyomei. Sold
Under Guarantee BY
Hanson & Emerson

Catarrh is the most prevalent disease
known to humanity. Probably ninety
per cent of the people in this country
suffer at one time or another with this
common disease.
1t is a germ disease and hence can
be cured only by some method that
will reach and destroy the germs
This is best found in Hyomei, which
may be called the direct method of
treating catarrh, as Its medication,
taken in with the air you breathe, goes
directly to every air cell in the nose,
throat and lungs: all catarrhal germs;
heals the irritated mucuGs membrane
and vitalizes the tissues SO as to rem
der cattarrh no longer possible. Han
son & Emerson give their absolute
guarantee to refund the price to any
catarrh sufferer that Hyomei fails to
benefit.

Few people who visit Denver realize
that 1t is located only q few feet short

attitudes the climate is always treach-
erous. The midday sun may be broil-
ing hot, but after dark the air is soon
chilled and one Is liable to contract a
cold.
Several Of the Spanish cities stand
upon the crests of tall hills, where
such climatic changes occur after
nightfall. When, as a boy at the grand
opera, l saw Spaniards in Carmen

1 assumed that the act was intended
to disguise them-to hide their faces.
Nothing of the sort. The Spaniard
like the Italian OF the Alpine regions
always covers his mouth after sun
