You will admit, if fair-minded,
THAT most of the farmers OF the
''ofd school," and |. include my
self. have a sentiment against
perhaps going to town on Satur-
taking any other recreation than
day afternoon or to church Sun
day morning. Why is this any,
wayY First, a great many OF us
had all the spirit of play. work
ed out of us when we were young
second, we came to believe that
wealth was the only sure maker
of happiness; third, we failed to
learn how to spend money to the
best advantage; and fourth, many
of us have become so hardened to
work that we wouldn't know
how to take recreation if we
wanted to.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it local. disease and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. j. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken inter
nally in doses from 10 drops to tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system.

case they fail to cure. Send for circu-

TRUTH ABOUT CATARRH
Sensible Methods Will Cure it -Gool-
rick's Pharmacy Guarantees Hyomei
to Cure Catarrh.

Catarrh can never be cured by taking
medicines into the stomach nor by
sprays, atomiZers or douches.
Intelligent physicians have long ago
discarded such ideas and not one of them
would be worth consideration were II
not for the fact that INSCRIPTIONS per
sons prey upon the ignorance OF the
people in regard to new discoveries.
Catarrh is caused by germs and just
as long as these germs thrive in the
folds. crevces, hooks and corners OF
the mucous membrane that line the
nose, throat and chest, just so long will
you have catarrh.
There is only one way TO cure catarrh,
and that Is to kill the germs.
There is only one remedy that will
kill the germs when it gets where the
germs are. and that is Hyomei.
Hyomei is made chiefly from Austral-
ian Eucalyptus and Eucalyptol com
bined with other germ killing antisep-
tics. Just breathe it in through the
hard rubber inhaler that comes with
each outfit and relief is immediate,
Used regularly for few week Hyomel
