No stomach dosing. Hyomei is
made chiefly of oil of eucalyptus taken
from the eucalyptus forests of inland

In inland Australia the atmosphere
Is so impregnated with balsam thrown

DO not thrive, and in consequence
coughs, colds, catarrh and other nose

She has been holding her own since the shooting and her condi- ton has heen quite encouraging all though it ' still critical.
 The liquor which Brown drank and with which he gas crazed when he did the shooting has been classified as la maica ginger by analysis and not whiskey as was at first supposed.
 Since Jamaica ginger is put up in about 90 per cent alcohol, it is no wonder it makes a crazy drunk.
