1896 
THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
697 
limit, all standing to listen to an address on agri¬ 
culture by Walter F. Taber, of Poughkeepsie, who 
dwelt mainly upon the need of humus in the soil 
to retain moisture to dissolve the fertilizing ele¬ 
ments in the soil, so that plants could feed upon 
them. Thursday evening, Mr. Richard Lewis, 
gardener for the Misses Cruger, delivered an ad¬ 
dress on horticulture and vegetable gardening. 
Altogether, the fair was a grand success, and 
the club may well feel proud of this their first 
effort in this direction. Altogether it was a model 
for other farmers’ clubs to copy. t.

MILK AND CREAM. 
The total dally supply has been 20,605 cans of milk 
163 cans of condensed milk and 443 cans of cream 
The average price paid for the surplus on the plat¬ 
forms has been $1.15 a can of 40 quarts. 
Wet Medicine vs. Dry Air. 
Liquid remedies intended for use in the air passages should be 
avoided. The mucous membrane is too delicate for such treat¬ 
ment ; besides, air is the only thing nature intended should enter 
the breathing organs. Did you ever get a drop of liquid in the 
windpipe ? Nature instantly rebelled and threw it out. This proves 
that no liquids can enter the bronchial track, and that vapors, 
sprays , douches and atomizers are positively dangerous. 
Common Colds vs. Hyomei. 
In using Booth’s Hyomei Pocket Inhaler you breathe air im¬ 
pregnated with the aromatic, healing principle of “Hyomei,” and you 
break up a common cold overnight. This is the famous Australian “Dry- 
Air” treatment of Asthma, Catarrh, Bronchitis, and all diseases of the 
nose, throat and lungs. It “ CUBES BY INHAEATIOIT.” 
Port Ewcn, N. Y., Sept. 3, 1896. 
I find Hyomei a preventative of colds, to which I am easily subject, and 
which are very stubborn. I have not had one since using Hyomei, which is an 
inexpressible relief, for they interfered sadly with my preaching. 
(Rev.) B. C. LIPPINCOTT. 
Inglewood, Cal., Sept. 16, 1806. 
Will you please put Hyomei on sale in Los Angeles City ? We cannot keep 
house without the remedy. A. J. COMPTON, M. D. 
44 Main St., Greenfield, Mass. 
I cannot say enough in praise of Booth’s Hyomei Pocket Inhaler. I never 
have a cold now and I always had one before I used it. I had lost my voice 
so that I could not sing at ail; but now I sing as well as I ever did. 
(Miss) M. C. LANFAI. 
Ohio Soldiers and Sailors Home. Erie County, Ohio, Sept. 1,1896. 
Soon after I commenced to use the Inhaler and Hyomei, my voice regained 
its natural tone; soreness in my throat very soon disappeared, and my hearing 
was improved to a degree that with gladness I discarded ear drums, and was 
never so happy as when I could again hear the conversation of my friends with¬ 
out the aid of artificial appliances. E. E. STEWART, Serg’t Batallion A. 
San Diego, Cal., May 27, 1896. 
Your Pocket Inhaler has shown itself a record breaker in heading off and 
Stopping colds this year. (Rev.) C. W. MAGGART. 
Hyomei is a purely vegetable antiseptic, and destroys the germs which cause disease tn the respi¬ 
ratory organs. The air, charged with Hyomei, is inhaled at the mouth, and, after premeating the 
minutest air-cells, is exhaled through the nose. It is aromatic, delightful to inhale, and gives immediate 
relief. It is highly recommended by physcians, clergymen, public speakers, and thousands who have 
been helped and cured. 
Pocket Inhaler Outfit, Complete by Mail, Sl.OO, to anv part of the United States; for 
foreign countries, add $1.00 postage ; outfit consists of pocket inhaler, made of deodorized hard rubber, a 
bottle of Hyomei, a dropper, and full directions for using. If you are still skeptical. send your address ; 
my pamphlet shall prove that Hyomei cures. Are you open to conviction V Extra buttles of Hyomei 
inhalant by mail, or at druggists, 50 cents. Hyomei Balm, for all skin diseases, by mail, 25 cents. Your 
druggist has Hyomei or can get it for you if you insist. Don’t accept a substitute

limited, we guarantee to fill orders only 
while it lasts. The opportunity is offered 
now for the last time, to get the Nursery

The Rural New-Yorker, New York. 
25=cent Binder. 
We have been looking for years for a 
cheap, neat binder for readers of The 
Rural, so that the paper could he kept 
clean and preserved for years. Now we 
have it; we can send it, postpaid, for 
25 cents, or will send it to any old sub¬ 
scriber who takes the trouble to send us 
one new subscription. Many readers 
would like to preserve The R. N.-Y., but 
the ordinary binder is too expensive.
