VAPOR TREATMENT.
For Catarrh, Colds, Coughs, Sore
Throat and Bronchitis.

Everybody knows that breathing
HYOMEI few times a day through
the little hard rubber pocket inhaler
will in a short time drive out ca
tarrh
Many people regularly use the vap-
or treatment at night in conjunc-
ton with the inhaler, claiming that it
hastens results.
This is the vapor treatment: Into 9
bowl three quarters full of boiling wa
ter pour a scant teaspoonful of HYO-
Mel, cover the head and bowl with
towel and breathe for five minutes the
soothing healing, antiseptic HYOMEl
vapor. Try it when using HYOEMI
for any nose or throat ailment.
HYOMEI is guaranteed by Murray
& Hooks Pharmacy, Americas, Ga, to
put an end to catarrh or money back.
A bottle of HYOMEI costs so cents; a
complete outfit, which includse inhal-
err, $100.

DENTISTRY NOT NEW
9AMPLEs OF ANCIENT WORK IN
 MUSEUMS.
Most Interesting Because the Oldest ls Specimen of 6ridge-Wori Which Was Found in Phoenician
 Tomb at Sidon.

Dentistry, though considered pc culiarly modern, has been found high ly developed in the past. Actual speci- mems of ancient dentistry may be seen in various European museums. The most interesting of these speci- mems, because the oldest, is a Phoeni- clan example of bridge-work found in a tomb at Sidon. The specimen is now in the Louvre at Paris, and con- sists of a part of the upper jaw of woman with the teeth united by gold wire. Two of them are trans planted teeth fastened in by gold wire. In the museum of Corneto (which was the ancient Tarquinii, the capital of the Etruscan federation) may be seen number of marvellous specimens of dental work of the sixth and seventh centuries before Christ. They consist mainly of bridge-work done by riveted bands of metal One of them support ed three artificial teeth, two of these artificial teeth being made out of a single OK tooth grooved to initiate rather closely two human teeth. In the laws of the Twelve Tables, writ ISAA III 1lOA4O 1OO D. O., W04AC IL 4S CA- pressly forbidden to bury gold orna- ments with bodies, a special excep- tion is made for gold with which the teeth may perchance be bound to- gether. The museum of Pope Julius at Rome contains a gold cap made of two small plates of gold stamped out to represent rather closely a middle lower incisor and these two pieces soldered together to form the crown of tooth.
 The satiric poets of Rome, especial ly Martial, referred frequently to arti- ficial teeth. Martial speaks of an old woman who was so scared that as she ran away her teeth fell out. In one, epigram he answers the question why one woman's teeth are dark, while an others are white, though both are. of the same age, by saying that one of them buys her teeth, while the other has her own. The Romans had number of different kinds of denti- frices. and took great care of their teeth. Galen describes a form of pas. tile containing aromatics and opium that might be used as a toothache gum. The filling of teeth with various kinds of metal is described by Celsius, though the first sure reference to gold filling does not occur until about the middle of the fifteenth century. The transplantation of teeth, especially from the mouths of slaves into those of their mistresses, seems to have been practiced rather commonly in the early days of the Roman empire.- Journal of the American Medical Asso citation.

Aristocratic Pests.

A most interesting development in connection with efforts to destroy the alfalfa beetle is reported from the re. zion of the Mediterranean. Its de. structive power in alfalfa fields is enormous. So valuable has the alfalfa become to the farmers of the country that the appearance and ravages of the pest are occasion of deep and wide spread concern.
 But how did the beetles find their way from the Mediterranean shores 70 the plains of the West? It may Je understood readily that they have taken passage on vessels from that part of the world to our eastern ports. But how did they make the trip over land?
 A partial answer, at least, to these questions is found in the results of Investigation of the "sweepings" in palace cars in the west. The "vaccum cleaner" is used in cleaning these cars. Thirty-seven of the destructive pests were found few days ago in the clutches of a cleaner used in one compartment of sleeping car!
