CATARRH CURED.

To get an antiseptic strong enough
to kill catarrh germs and not destroy
the tissues of the membrane at the
same time. has been a problem which
was never solved until the discovery
Of Hyomei pronounced High-o-me)
Hyomei is prepared from eucalyptus
the most powerful yet healing antisep-
tic known Breathe it through the
inhaler over the innamed and germ
ridden membrane four or five times
day and in few days the germs
will disappear,
The inhamed condition will go, too,
and the snutIling. hawking and often
siye breath, and the discharge of mu-
cous and crusts in the nose will
cease.
Then why should any catarrh suffer
er hesitate when w. l.. Gokay has
such faith in Hyomei that he offers
to return your money if after a fair
trial Hyomei does not cure catarrh.
A complete Hyomei outfit including
the inhaler, costs S100 and extra bot.
ties, if afterwards needed, cost but so
cents. Hyomei also cures asthma,
Group, sore throat coughs, colds and

The Value of Books

A young girl once asked Mark
Twain If he liked books for Christ
mas gifts.
We'll, that depends" drawled the
great humorist IF book has a
leather cover 1t is really valuable as a
razor strop. If it is a brief, concise
work. such as the French write. it is
useful to put under the short leg of a
wabbly table. An old.fashioned book
with a clasp cant be beat as missile
to hurl at dog, and large book, like
geography, is as good as a piece of
tin to nail over u broken pale OF
