cATARHH is SURELY A
DANGEROUS DISEASE

Thousands of people allow catarrh
to slowly undermine the whole system
until a serious disease develops
sometimes consumption.
People who have catarrh should use
every effort TO get rid OF it, but should
above all adopt a sensible method.
Stomach dosing, sprays and douches
won't cure catarrh because it IS germ
disease. and the germs must be de-
stroyed before the disease can be con-
quered.
HYOMEI is the one sensible cure
for catarrh because it|reaches every
fold. crevice and nook in the mucous
membrane and gets where the germs
are. You breathe MYOMEI and as it
passes over the infamed membrane its
soothing influence heals the soreness
and DESTROYS the germs.
A complete HYOMEI outfit costs
$1.00. This consists of a bottle of
HYOMEI and a hard rubber inhaler.
Pour a few drops of HYOMEI into the
inhaler and breathe it a few minutes
each day. that's all you have to do.
1t is guaranteed by E. ]. Jenkins and
druggists everywhere to cure catarrh,
coughs, colds and sore throat or money
back. Extra bottle of HYOMEI costs

Where Money BUYS Life.

The rich Chinaman If condemned to
death easily procures substitute.
Some poor wretch, without money to
secure his spirits from becoming wan
dering devils, with the price of his mis-
cradle life can purchase proper care
for his spirit. Anything, in fact, can
be done if you have the money. 1t is
this belief that causes the Chinaman to
commit suicide by taking his life OH the
premises of his enemy to- take venge-
ance on him. His spirit, he believes
will forever haunt him. There is an
other reason also. He knows that as
sure as fate the officials will under
such circumstances come down upon
his enemy and strip him of everything.
Poor Chinese have been known to sell
everything they possessed, tear down
their houses to sell the timber, sell or
rent out their wives and children and
even sell themselves to procure money
for the proper rites for the peace and
comfort of the ancestral spirits. one
.hing alone q Chinese will not do
namely, sacrifice his son.-Kcnneth T.,
