Says Air of Hyomei
Will Stop Catarrh
| "Just Breathe It," Siyi Local Druggist.
Tells of Remarkable Cures After
All Other Treatment Failed
One of the quickest, surest and safest
ways of ending a bad case of catarrh
is to begin to breathe the air of oil of
Hyomei for ten minutes or so. three or
four times daily.
Most folks who suffer from catarrh
want to be rid of it but few seem to
know how to go about it.
There is no stomach dosing with
medicine or spraying or greasy creams
to stick up the nose when you use
Hyomei. You just breathe it. A few
drops of the oil are placed in a little
hard rubber Inhaler which comes free
with the complete outfit. Put the in
haler In your mouth and breathe deeply
and each time you inhale you will draw
( into your throat, lungs and air passages
a healing medicated air that will pene
trate deep down Into every fold and
crevice of the membranous linings of
i your nose, throat and lungs where no
liquid spray could possibly reach and
will absolutely kill and drive out of
your system every trace of catarrh it
j finds there. The air of hyomei heals
the inflamed swollen tissues and after
the very first trial you notice a won
derful improvement. A few weeks' use
and every trace of catarrh is killed and
driven out of your system.
Cases of many years' standing have
been successfully treated by this simple
method and remarkable stories are re
lated of the speedy benefit received.
H. C. Kennedy, of this city, states that
he as well as other local druggists sell
Hyomei with the Inhaler on an abso
lute guarantee of prompt relief from
catarrh or money back. We advise
Catarrhal sufferers to "Just breathe It"
and it seldom or never falls them.—Ad-
I vertisemeni.

COMPLETE PLANS
FOR BIG EVENTS
[Continued From First Page]
of directors. This big meeting is to
be made a memorable gathering. A
special committee will be named by
President J. William Bowman to ar
range for the affair.
The directors disposed of a large
calendar of important business. The
Saturday closing feature received at
tention. Announcement was made of
the success of efforts to have Council
make Strawberry street a one-way
street, eastward, from Third to Fourth
streets, and thanks were extended to
Council with the request that proper
signs be placed at both ends indicating
that it is a one-way street.
The directors agreed to co-operate
in every way with the officers of the
extension school of accounts and
finance of the Wharton school of the
University of Pennsylvania in its Sep
tember enrollment and authorized the
president to appoint a special commit
tee to obtain the further co-operation
of employers in having their employes
attend the school and recognize the
enterprise of such young men in their
service as take the course.
It was decided to postpone the pro
posed excursion of the members to
Old Point Comfort and other cities on
Hampton Roads, Va„ to the Spring of
1917 and have it take the place of the
usual all-rail trade excursion. It was
announced that the Chamber is going
to embark upon several activities in
September that will prevent the excur
sion being made this Fall.
No further efforts will be made by
the Chamber of Commerce to have one
of the twelve Federal banks located in
Harrisburg. It was stated at yester
day's meeting of the directors that this
city did not have any chance to get
one of these banks because of the com
petition from Pittsburgh. Baltimore
and other cities, and that their efforts
could much better be devoted to ob
jects within reach of Harrisburg.
The directors authorized the presi
dent to arrange for several representa
tive members to attend a conference
in Washington under the auspices of
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States to solve the railroad sit
uation caused by the differences be
tween the carriers and the brother
hoods in case the national associa
tion deemed such action absolutely
necessary.
The extension of power of the Inter
state Commerce Commission to take
care of certain auestions now looked
after by public service commissions in
order to avoid complications was rec
ommended to the National Chamber
of Commerce as an Important matter
to be considered at an early date.
Discuss Outing Plans
Plans were announced for the an
nual outing on August 26 and the sec
retary. E. L. McColgln, said he would
give the members a bulletin at an
early date showing the work of the
Chamber of Commerce.
The directors of the Chamber also
approved the Webb bill. This bill is
of importance *o Harrisburg because it
relates to the export business, in which
so many local industries are engaged.
Senate Republicans May
Prolong Sessions of Congress
By Associated Press
Washington, Aug. 10. Republi
cans of the Senate in conference to
day declined to accept the legislative
program submitted yesterday by the
Democratic steering committee with a
view of adjournment of Congress be
fore September 1. Those who were
inclined to agree were outvoted by
Senators demanding action on the
immigration bill at this session.
Whether the action of the Re
publicans to-day will prolong the
session beyond September 1 could not
be foretold.

once like magic.
I Am Free-You Can Be Free
My catarrh was filthy and loathsome.
It made me ill. It dulled my mind. It
undermined my health and was weak
ening my will. The hawking, cough
ing, spitting made me obnoxious to all,
and my foul breath and disgusting
habits made even my loved ones avoid
me secretly. My delight in life was
dulled and my faculties impaired. I
knew that in time it would bring me to
an untimely grave, because every mo- I
ment of the day and night it was slow- j
ly yet surely sapping my vitality.
But I found a cure, and I am ready |
to tell you about It FRE. Write me '
promptly.
