AN EASY WAY TO END
cATARRH FOREVER
Simple Homo Treatment Destroys
Germs of This DANGEROUS Disease.


Germs Of This Dangerous Disease.
The reason why so many people who
suffer from Catarrh never seem able
to get cured is that they are continually
seeking the momentary relief of sprays,
douchins, greasy creams, ointments.
etc. Such thing do open up the swollen
nostrils and clear the head temporarily,
besides stopping for awhile the disgust
ing blowing, hawking, splitting and
choking, but they never cure. To drive
out Catarrh for good you have got to
get down to it's real cause. Catarrh is a
germ disease The air is always full of
catarrh germs thrown off by one person
and absorbed by another and when the
system does fail to throw off such germs
they find permanent lodgment in the
nose. throat and mead and multiply
rapidly.
The germs Of catarrh can be best des-
troyed by inhaling the pure medicated
air Of Hyomei pronounced High-o-me).
This splendid and powerful combination
Of oil Of Eucalyptus with other healing
agents has q wonderful germicidal ac-
ton. You breathe its air into your nose,
throat and lungs by means Of small
hard rubber inhaler which Bowditch &,
Webster Co. and other leading druggists
here in Augusta and vicinity supply
with every treatment This medicated
air is certain death to the germs of Ca
tarrh and drives them completely out
Of your system and when the germs are
destroyed the catarrn with all its dis
agreeable symptoms will stop. Even
two or three minutes ue will give re-
freshing relief, while. if you will use it
two or three minutes use will give re-
weeks it will completely Danish catarrh
and every symptom OF catarrh. AS Hy-
omei is pleasant to breathe and Is al
ways sold by druggists everywhere with
a positive guarantee Of successful re-
suits or money back, surely no Catharr-
hal sufferer should go long before try
Ing this simple home remedy.-Adv.

SEEN IN THE SHOPS

If your new spring bonnet Is to be
fashionable, it will take time to select
1t. A smartly gowned woman is fault
lessly attired from tho tip of her chic
little hat to the end of her gathered
boot. You feel that no detail has been
neglected, that every feature of her cos
tune has received minute and thought
full attention. The most important item
is her hat.
A poorly selected hat can spoil the
effect of the best looking suit that a
tailor ever made. Women should take
plenty of time in deciding what is most
becoming; just because a hat Is q pretty
color, for instance, it may not be a
proof that it becomes you.
There are plenty of hats for every one,
and this seasons styles offer variety
enough for the most fastdious of women.
They range in size from close fitting
little turbans to broadbrimmed cart
wheels as the mere man calls them.
One thing is certain, and that is, that
to be in style you must wear your hat
at an angle. The objectionable sin is to
wear it straight on your head. Tip 1t
back, front, or on the sides, If you will,
but it must have a fashionable tilt
Trimmings follow more or less orig
inal lines just at present. Some hats
are low and fiat, like the proverbiaI pam
cake, and others. tower far above the
fair wearer's head Cherry, American
Beauty, rose or ruby red are coming to
replace the all-black or all-white hat
Sailors are in evidence, too, and stream
ers dangle from most OF the new models
