which once covered the statue of
Guezo are nothing but metal plates,
nails, gimlets and scraps of old iron.
Prof. Frazer observes that the exist

BLIND PEOPLE SWIM STRAIGHT.

quality for racing otherwise can be
made or taught to swim even in al

Many a splendid swimmer is beat

But the remarkable fact remains that
blind swimmers of whom there are
in this country a considerable number
in connection with various institutions
for persons so afflicted-universall
and without exception swim with
marvellous directness; indeed, in as
perfectly straight q line as is humarly
possible, even when the distance coz.

Blind swimmers can, it appears, CT
hearing a noise in any given direction
not only swim absolutely straight to
the point whence the noise proceeds,
but when left to themselves their

Catarrh can never be cured by TAX

Intelligent physicians have long ago
discarded sucl ideas and not one ol
them would be worth consideration
were 1t not for the fact that unscrupu-

Catarrh is cured by germs and just
as long as these germs thrive in the
folds, crevices. 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 ca
tarrh 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 Aus.
