Nothing more delights you,
Sudden she invites you

Griffin, Ga.
Dear Sir : “It costs as much to
put-on p >or paint aa good”—a com
mon saying and true—it costs much
more to put-on poor paint; more
gallons.
Poor paint is paint and oarytes or
paint and sand or paint and lime or
paint and chalk or paint and ben
zine or paintand water ; these are
the usual cheats ; there are others.
It takes more gallons of paint-and
a-cheat than of honest paint; and
the cost of the labor of the painting
is so much a gallon—one gallon
costs as much as another, for labor.
This is the way to reckon your
cost for this year ; but how about
next year?
Paint Devoe, and next year costs
nothing ; year after next the same ;
the same for several years.
Paint anything else, and your
costs recur according to what you
paint-with Some of the mixtures
wear one year; some two; some
three
It costs twice, thne times, four
times, five times, as much to point
with a cheat as to paint with Devoe.
Yours truly
F W Devoe & co

Breathe Hyomei Throe or Four Times
a Day and be cured of Catarrh.
Brooks Drug Store, one of the most
reliable bti-iuess firms in Griffin, has
seen many instances of the remarkable
power of Hyomei to cure catarrhal
troubles and other disorders of the
respiratory organs.
Results in this treatment have given
them so much confidence in Hyomei
that they will give a month’s trial with
the positive understanding that if at
the end of that time a cure is not effect
ed or enough relief gained to warrant a
continued use of the treatment for a•
while longer, the money will be re
funded.
Hyomei is the only treatment for ca
tarrn that has ever been sold under a
“no cure, no pay” plan, and the only
one where a month’s trial treatment is
free unless it cures.
Hyomei is not a pill or liquid. Just
breathe it through tbe neat inhaler that
comes with every outfit, and benefit will
be seen from the first day’s use.
Breathed in this way. the health-giving
Hyomei penetrates to the minutest air
cells of the lungs, and drives catarrhal
germs and poisons from the system.
The complete outfit costs but sl, and
extra bottles of Hyumei may be obtain
ed for 50c.
Remember that if Hyomei does not
cure you after a month’s trial, Brooks
Drug Store will refund your money and
the treatment will be absolutely free.
