In Flanders the Anglo-French and
German troops apparently are resting
in preparation for further infantry &C.

their front.
French troops again have repulsed
German efforts along the Aisne front.

The French, with the assistance OF
the British on their right, attacked on

Another winter campaign is regarded
as inevitable by Lieutenant General
Koorniloff, commander In chief in
Russia. In an interview at Petrograd
he also predicted operations on a vast
scale along the Rumanian front, and

Is Best Way to Treat Cntarrh

The pleasantest, most convenient
and the only scientific method for the
treatment of catarrh is Hyomei.
Simply put twenty drops of Hyomei in
the inhaler that comes with every
package and then breathe it for few
minutes every day.
1t seems remarkable that so simple
a way of treating catarrh will effect
cure, but the most important dis
coveries of science have always been
the simplest. BY breathing Hyomei in
this way. every particle of air that
enters the air passages of the throat
and head and goes into the lungs is
charged with a healing balsam that
kills the germs and bacilli of catarrh
and sooths and allays all irritation.
The first days use of Hyomei Will
show a decided Improvement and in a
short time there should be no further
trouble from catarrh. Its action is
rapid and lasting.
You take no risk in buying Hyomei.
A complete outfit costs but little and
