PER'LS OF LAND AND SEA Captain Willnef’s Remarkable Escape Shows What to do .in .Time, of Trouble. For many years, Captain Willnef, says the Times of Gloucester, Mass., was one of the best known seamen in the Gloucester Fleet. The sea and its dangers had no terror for him, but the catarrhal troubles with which he suffered for fifteen years made him dread the nights at sea, for he had to walk the cabin floor, being unable to lie down and sleep on ac count of the constant catarrhal drop ping. Captain Willnef went to two differ ent hosiptals for treatment, but could get no lasting benefit. He constant ly raised yellow and green phlegm and his trouble became so unbearable and nauseating that he was ashamed to go out in company. When despairing cf ever getting relief, his wife pur chased a Hyomei outfit for him, and trying it before going to bed, he en joyed the first whole night’s sleep for ten years. Captain Willnef says “I have used less than two .bottles of Hyomei and have been cured by the remedy. My friends ask me what is responsible for my improvement, and I teh them Hyomei, which has given me full and complete recovery.” Captain Willnef’s experience shows our readers *hat to do in time of catarrhal trouble—use Hyomei. This remarkable treatment kills the germs of catarrh and makes lasting and per manent cures. Gaffney Drug Co. sell Hyomei under their personal guaran tee to refund the money if it does not give quick relief. The religion of success is never successful in religion. Letter to Sheriff Thomas. Gaffney, S. C. Dear Sir: You are so well known that the people have put you in of fice. They knew what they wer.' about; They didn’t do it by accident. Wouldn’t it be a handsome thing to do to paint your house? It is a nice house, has a good substantial commo dious look, and Isn’t rusty at all, you know: but a fresh coat of paint would make it so bright! It’s a pity not to. Devoe is beautiful paint, but the beauty of it is: it lasts so long, and does so much more than adorn an al ready interesting and attractive edi fice. House out-buildings and fences. There Isnt’ a man or a woman in town, who wouldn’t see them and make some pleasant remark. Of course, you will paint the town property: nothing would mark your administration more, in the eyes of the people; and. having done the same thing at home, it is the most natural thing in the world to do it for them.
