Smyrna, ‘
This old town is quiet, very
quiet, absolutely nothing doing in]
the news line. The only excite
ment noticeable is caused by the{
extreme scarcity of ‘‘corn licker”
and several cases of ‘‘grippe.”’
Both are being energetically dis
cussed and ‘‘cussed.’’ :

much interest 1s mauifested in the
feeding of stcck by some of ouri

CriTIC,
There is more Catarrh in this section |
of‘the country than all diseases put to
gether, and until the last few gears
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years, doctors pronounced
it a local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treat
ment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufac
tured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on
the market. It is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful,
It acts directly on the blood ahd mu
cous surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it fails
to cure. Send for circulars and testi
monials. Address:

‘“ln a Breath of Air.”
Health Comes From Knowing How and
What to Breathe,
Both health and disease come “in a
breath of air.”
Dust laden with the germs of con
sumption or other disease ig inhaled on
every street, but disease does not de
velop unless the germs find conditions
suitable for growth.
In the catarrhal coudition there is an
ideal culture medium fcr these germs,
as the weakened tissues are like a hot
bed where the germs thrive and multi
ply until dangerously active.
If you have catarrh, use the easiest,
simplest and quickst cure, the direct
method of Hyomei, whose wonderful
medicated air destroys germs and
makes catarrh and germ infection im
possible.
You do not risk a cent in testing
Hyomei’s healing virtues, for with
every $l.OO outfit C. M. Crosby & Co.
give a guarantee to refund the money
if it fails to cure.
