Killed By Pneumonia and
Consumption
DURING The PAST YEAR.
Four-Gfiils Of thc Deaths Due
40 Ignorance and Careless
ness On the Part OF
the Afflicted.

The reports of the bureau Of vital sta
tistics for 1900 show that during that
year IFS, ,G96 persons in the United States
died from Pneumonia and Consumption
alone, and while this is a reduction Of
%, ,3O5 from the number who died in 1899
it proves that these great plaques are an
nually destroying one person out of ten
of the adult population of this country.
That four-fifths of these people might
have been living today but for their own
ignorance or carelessness, is well known
to the medical profession.
Let us explain what is meant by igno-
rance and carelessness. During the past
I fifteen years over five million dollars
have been expended annually by persons
suffering from coughs, catarrh, bronchi-
tbs and consumption, and all this for
sfOmach mrdicincs or treat
Inents requiring the use OF
sprays. VapOrs or 0iOmiZers.
But during the whole time the Bureau of
Vital Statistics shows that these diseases
increased so per cent annually, and medi-
cal history fails to give one single case
of consumption cured. One would nat
urallv infer that after such reports by
the government, nothing but Ignorance
of these facts could explain why so many
thousands continued to spend their time
and money on such treatments.
Carelessness in selecting treatments
for respiratory diseases is shown when
ever any sufferer purchases remedy
which requires the use of sprays, yapors
or atumizers, for certainly no man, wo-
man OF child who has ever attended our
pubic schools is ignorant of the fact
| that the construction of the air passages
| Is such as to render it impossible for
any of these treatments to reach the
| diseased parts.
Consumption and Pneumonia are germ
! diseases and as physiology, the govern
ment reports, and the history OF medi-
| cine caches us that there is no possibil-
! ity of a cure being effected through tho
I stomach or by sprays, vapors and ato-
mixers, what hope is there for persons
afflicted?

on January 5th, 1900, the United States
! Health Report published the following:
''For The first time in the history OF
/ this country, we have noticed falling
off In the number Of deaths by resplr-
atOry diseases during the past } ear.
I (23,805). Careful investigation by
our medical staff proves that this re-
I dnctiOn is entirely due to the nse OF
Dry-Air Germicide called HfOMtI,
and that no other remedy or treat
ment had anything whatever to do in
bringing ab jut this reduction"
To any intelligent person this state
meut ming from the highest medical
I authority in the land; ought to be all
that is necessary to prove there is but
one treatment known by which con-
sumption has and can be cured.
HIOMEI is the only cure for Coughs,
Catarlh, Bronchitis and Consumption
because il is the only germicide which
can be inhaled in the air we breathe.
HYOMEI is the only cure because it is
through the air we breathe alone that
the germs of the disease are to be
reached and destroyed.
knowing these facts as you do, it 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.
