“LET US HELP YOU TO HEALTH”
Druggist Brooke Wants Every catarrh
Sufferer to Use Hyomei and be Cured
htitisrics show that at le ist 97 out of
every 100 persons in this State suffer
from catarrh in scute form.
While the disease is one of the most
common, it is also one of the most dan
gerous and offensive, leading to con
sumption and other diseases of the res
piratory organs.
Prior to the discovery of Hyomei and
its introduction in this section by Drug
gist Brooks, every method of treatment
had been found worthless.
The discovery of Hyomei and its
growing popularity has already reduced
the percentage ot those suffering from
catarrh. This wonderful remedy is the
simplest and most pl. want of treatment.
Put 20 drops of H y omei in the pocket in
haler that comes with every outfit, and
breathe it for a few minutes four times
a day. Relief will be seen after the
first treatment and a complete cure will
soon follow. Breathe the Hyomei in
this way, and the catarrh germs even
in the most remote air cells are destroy
ed The irritated mcct us membrane
is soothed and healed, and perfect health
restored.
Druggist Brooks says to all catarrh
sufferers, “Let me help you to health, I
am confident Hyomei will cure, so con
fident, in fact, that I guarantee to re
fund your money if it tails. A com
plete outfit costs but sl, ani if it does
not help you, your money will be re
turned promptly.”

Talks About Turner’s De
clination.
The following card has been-sent to
the different daily papers of Jthe State
for publication:
In pursuance with his policy of
hiding his head in the saudjso that he
may not excite too much attention in
this campaign, Prison “Commissioner
Turner has declined a challenge to
hold joint debates issuedj.him by his
opponent, Mr. Strickland. Among the
reasons he alleges for this declination,
besides it being his busy season, Judge
Turner says he does not see how it
would be possible to avoid objection
able personalities and mud-slinging.
But that depends upon what he calls
personalities. If he regards any dis
cussion of his public conduct while in
office as a matter entirely personal to
himself, and none of the public’s busi
ness, then he is right and his declina
tion is put upon proper grounds. And
this must be his assumption, since he
so classifies “certain attacks made
upon me by your (Mr. Strickland’s)
friends, notably the partisan executive
committee of your county.” Yet these
comments were upon Judge Turner’s
public acts as a partisan and office
holder, and he cannot point to a single
reflection that has been made by any
of Mr. Strickland’s friends upon his
private or personal character.
When an office-holder conies to that
pass where any reference made to his
public record must be classed as mud
slinging, then it shows that be has
either become too sensitive to criticism
to do bis duty without fear or favor,
or that bis record is too dirty to stand
decent handling. This is the position
Judge Turner has placed himself in by
giving this reason for refusing to meet
his opponent, and we hope he will ex
cuse us for calling attention to it,
though in consideration for bis sensi
tiveness on the subject we refrain
from further comment on it, merely
standing by what we have heretofore
said. Respectfully.
