The phrase "to sham Abraham” was coined In Bedlam. or Bethlehem hospital, where there wns nt one time nn Abraham ward. the Inmates of which upon certain days were permitted to go out as licensed beggar* on la-half of the hospital.

NOT A PATENT MEDICINE Hjcmil, the 6uaram’eed Catarrh Cure. Prescribed by Physicians. No one should contound Hyomei ' with the patent medicines that are 1 advertised to cure catarrh. It is as far superior to them all as the diamond is more valuable than cheap glass. Their comp-.«iticn is secret, but Hv xnei gives it formula to all reputable physicians. It base is the valutble encalyptus oil famous for its antiseptic qualities. This is combined with aromatic and healing gums and balsams, making a pure liquid, which, when used in the Hyomei pocket inhaler, fills the air you breathe with g-rm killing, dis | ease-destroying .‘and healing powers that kills all catarrhal germs there may be in the throat, nose and Inngs. How foolish it is to try and cure catarrh by swallowing tablets or liquids. The only natural way to cure tbisdi’iease and all other diseases of j the respiratory organs is to breathe Hyomei. This treatment has been so successful, curing 99 percent, of all who have used it. that Hyomei is now sold by the Holti ouse Drug Co under an absolute guarantee to refund the money if it does not cure. You run no risk whatever in buying Hyomei. If ildid not possess unusual powers to cure, it could not be sold upon this plan. The complete Hyomei outfit costs SI.OO and comprises an inhaler, a bottle of Hyomei and a dropper. The inhaler will last a life time, and additional liottle of Hyomei can be obtained for 50 cents.

It Is a foolish notion to suppose that the ringing of lielis or "taug’.ng" of tin pans will came a swarm of Ihh-s to settie. The real origin of this custom dated back to tbe reign of Alfred the Tlreat, who. in order to prevent dis-1 puti-s n gardiug tiie ownership of a swarm, ordered that the owner should always ring a is-ll when his lives swarmed, and ever since then the good farmer’s wife has Imeu rushing out witli ringing bells whenever tbe bee* swaruied. and the fact that they settled verified.
