PERSONS
Killed by Pneumonia and
Consumption.
DURING THE PAST YEAR
Four-fifths of These Deaths Duo
to Ignorance and Careless
ness on the Part of
the Afflicted.

The reports of the Bureau of Vital
Statistics for 1900 show that during
that year 1855 persons I'm the United
! states died from Pneumonia and Con-
sumption alone, and while this is a
reduction of 23305 from the number
who died in 1899, it proves that these
great plaques are annually destroying
one person out of ten of the adult pop
ulation of this country. That four
/ hfths of these people might have been
/ living today but for their own ignor-
ance or Carelessness, Is well known to
the medical profession.
Let us explain what Is meant by
ignorance and carelessness. During
the past fifteen years over five million
| dollars have been expended annually
| by persons suffering from coughs, ca
tarrh. bronchitis and consumption, and
all this for stomach medicines OF
! treatments requiring the use of
sprays, vapors or atomizers. But
! during this whole time the Bureau OF
| Vital Statistics shows that these dis
| eases increased 30 per cent. annually
| and medical history fails to give one
| single case Of consumption cured. One
| would naturally infer that after such
| reports by the government, nothing
but ignorance of these facts could ex-
| plain why so many thousands con-
| on such treatments.
Carelessness in selecting treatments
| for respiratory diseases,is shown when
| ever any sufferer purchases a remedy
which requires the use of sprays, vap-
ors or atomizers, for certainly no man
woman or child who has ever attended
our public schools is ignorant of the
fact that the construction of the air
passages is such as to render IL inn
nOSGihln nf utf,na tc
to reach the diseased parts.
Consumption and Pneumonia are
germ diseases, and as physiology, the
government reports, and history OF
| medicine teaches us that there Is no
possibility of cure being effected
through the stomach or by sprays
vapors or atomzers, what hope is
there for persons afflicted?
knowing that you are a reader OF
the daily papers and see the glowing
advertisements published by hundreds
Of manufacturers. we shall not try to
explain this. but instead, give you a
few facts furnished by those who are
not interested in any way with the sale
of medicines.
On January 5th, 1900, the United
states Health Report published the fol-
lowing:
For the first time in the history
u IhiS CSuHliy' we HtVS nObICSu u
great falling Off in the number of
deaths by respiratory diseases dur
ing the past year. (23,3O5). Care
full investigation by our medical staff
proves that this reduction is entirely
due to the use of a Dry-Air Germi-
eide called HYOMEI, and that no
other remedy or treatment had any
thing whatever to do in bringing
about this reduction"
To any intelligent person this state
ment, coming from the highest medi-
cal authority in the land. ought to be
all that Is necessary to prove there is
but one treatment known by which
consunptiOn has and can be cured
HYOMEI Is the only cure for Coughs,
Catarrh, Bronchitis and Consumption
because 1t is the only germicide which
can be inhaled In the air we breathe.
HEOME1 Is the only cure because
1t is through the air we breathe alone
be reached and destroyed
Knowing these facts as you do il Is
the duty of every man and woman to
inform their family and friends, and
by so doing save thousands OF lives
which otherwise will be lost through
ignorance and carelessness.
