CATARRH GROWING IESS.
Dae t th Use or Hyamel. Core
. Without Stomach Ooalatf.
Inquiry. at the local drug
stores shows that the sale of
remedies' for catarrh has de
creased very much in the last
year. Some medicines which
were formerly, nought a gross
at a time are now - purchased in
half dozen lots, . and are rarely
called for.
- There is one notable exception
to this decrease in sale, and
that is Hyomei. This remedy
is, in fact, responsible! for the
decrease in sale of catarrh medi
cines,, as it has made so many
Cures of catarrhal troubles .that
naturally there is much less de
mand , for remedies for that
disease.
People who have been trying
different medicines for catarrh
during -many years- were in
duced to begin the use of Hy
omei by J. H. Kennedy & Co's
guarantee, that . the remedy
Would cost nothing unless
cured. Mnch to their surprise.
they found that r Hyomei did
what it claimed (if it did not
X.H. Kennedy & Co. could not
sell it nnder this guarantee) and
they soon became ardent ad
vocates of the use of Hyomei.
There is no disagreeable
stomach, dosing with Hyomei ;
it is used by being breathed
through a neat pocket inhaler.
The, complete outfit- costs but
one dollar, extra bottles, ' if
needed, fifty cents.
With every Hyomei outfit J.
H. Kennedy & Co. give their
personal ; guarantee that tbe
money will be refunded unless
the treatment cures, so that you
run no risk at all in buying this
reliable remedy. ? F5-19

Spearman's Railroad Stories.
Beginning1 next" Tuesday The
Gazette will give its readers a
treat in thea shape of ten new
railroad stories from the pen. of
Frank ' H. Spearman. A com
plete story will be given in each
s?ue. Tbey are short, clean
and ' absorbingly interesting.
Mr. Spearman has made quite a
reputation as a writer of railroad
stories and a series similar to the
present one, gotten out a year or
more ago, won him-new laurels,
as no doubt, these will do. No
one should miss a single one of
these . stories they are . easily
worth the price ot a
year's sub-
scnptioa. ,

Groundhog Weather.
Saturday was groundhog day
and his hogship saw his shadow.
The day started cloudy and
gloomy and those who thought
of it doubtless all hoped that the
little weather animal would have
a chance to stay out all day. Late
in the afternoon, however, the
sun shone for a short time and
Mr. Groundhog' hied himself
back to h is winter quarters
where, according toJ.be accepted
interpretation of signs, he will
remain for v forty days, during
which period all sorts of bad
weather will prevail. Weather
prophets have promised some
disagreeably cold weather for
February. The turn taken by
the elements Sunday and yester
day would seem to indicate that
they have not missed it this
time. " - .

which will appear at the Opera
House Wednesday ni?ht. Feb.

Southern Indiana and the

"A Country Kid", is a gawky,
awkward country boy. Some of
the -other characters are Old
Hoke, oldest man in town, the
deputy sheriff, Lucky Jim, the
tramp. It is a story of country
life, quaint . characters, ' keen
satire and a view of delightful
sentiment. The special scenery
for the production is pne of the

To refuse a paper . at the

way of insulting the editor, and
to thus "refuse it when indebted

Each year the poultry busi

up to his place of business,
