'? A costly, but, fortunately, not seri

I noon. The cars of Mrs. Ella Tuomey
and Mr. J. A. Schwerin, which were |
going in opposite directions, collided ?

Mrs. Tuomey's more seriously than ;

escaped serious injury, although ?ev- j

the force of the impact when they j
came together. Two of Mr. Schwer- j

but not seriously hurt.
Mrs. Tuomey's car was put out of i

Little Pocket Physician.
Thousands who have been cured by
Hyomei call the inhaler that comes
with every outfit the "Little pocket
Physician." as it is so small that it
can be carried in the pocket or purse.
There is really no excuse whatever
for anyone having catarrh now that
Hyomei is so readily obtainable. If
you have any doubt about its value,
J. F. W. DeLorme will let you have
a complete outfit, with the under
standing that unless it cures catarrh,
it will not cost a cent.
The complete Hyomei outfit con
? sists of the "Little Pocket Physician"
and a bottle of Hyomei and costs $1.

Beware of "Digestives.*"
The ordinary "dyspepsia" tablet
has ruined more stomachs than all
other causes combined. Giving tem?
porary relief, it leaves the digestive
system weaker than ever, and the
tablets must be continued with in?
creasing frequency.
Mi-o-na excites the secretion of
gastric juice, and when the food is
swallowed, the stomach is ready to
digest it.
Mi-o-na stomach tabl?t? are never
sold in bulk, but in a ntat^box con?
venient for the purse or vest pocket,
at ."Oe.
A guarantee is given by J. F. W.
DeLorme wich every box of Mi-o-na,
that the money will be refunded if
the remedy fails to give satisfaction.
This shows his faith in the merits of
the remedy. - 5-S-2t
