Sold bv SMITH. YAGER & FALK WHERE MILLIONS ARE MADE Interesting Letter that May Much to Residnnts of Decatur. Probably there is no reader of the Democrat who has not heard of the fortunes made in the Beaumont oil fields. While the tales of fortunes quickly made are interesting, they are really not half as valuable to our readas the following letter from L. Iv. Preston, president of the CaswellPreston Drug l tompauy of Beaumont, one of the largest wholesale and retail bouses iu Texas. Mr. Preston writes: “Enclosed you will find a letter that came to us unsolicited from J. C. Reeves, 770 Pearl St. I have known Mr. Reeves for several years. He is a reliable man and very happy over his fortune. “About four years ago,” writes Mr. Reeves, “I lost mv hearing in my right ear and about three or four months ago my left ear became almost as bad. In fact, I was so bad that people had to shout at me to make me hear. I had about given up in despair all hopes of ever recovering my hearing when I saw that you recommended Hyotnei, I used two bottles and can now hear my watch tick with either ear, and my hearing is now all right. This deafness must haye been caused by catarrh, for it is now cured. Hyotnei certainly does what you claim for it.’ Hyomei has made many cures of catarrh, and in combination with Hyomei balm, of j catarrhal deafness iu Decatur and ! nearby towns. The Holthouse Drug j Company give their personal gnaran- j tee to refund the money should it not give quick relief. The complete Hyomei outfit costs but one dollar, while exlra bottles can be obtained for 50c. Cucumbers, tomatoes, radishes, green onions and Michigan celery at Martin’s. 269d2 Special homeseekors’ excursions to the Southwest, Nov. 10 and 22nd, via the Clover Leaf.
