STRONG EVIDENCE OF FAITH.
Leading Druggists Guarantee That
Hyomei Will Cure the Worst Case
of Catarrh in Wichita.

When the most reputable concerns in
Wichita guarantee that a medicine>will
effect a cure or they will return the
money, 1t speaks volumes as to the merit
of that remedy. 1t is in this way that
leading druggists are selling Hyomei,
the treatment that has made so many
remarkable cures of both acute and
chronic cases of catarrh in Wichita and
vicinity.
Hyomei is not a pill nor is il liquid
that has TO be taken with a tablespoon or
wineglass Just breathe it IN by the aid
of an inhaler that comes in every outfit
and benefit will be seen from the first
treatment.
1t destroys all germ life in the air pas
sages and lungs and enriches and purifies
the blood with additional ozone. 1t cures
catarrh of the head and throat, or of the
stomach, liver and kidneys. Wherever
mucous membrane contains catarrhal
germs. there Hyomei will do its work OF
healing When using this treatment the
air you breathe will be found like that on
the mountains high above the sea level,
where grow balsamic trees and plants
which make the air pure by giving OF
volatile antiseptic fragrance that is heal
ing to the respiratory organs.
Remember that If HyomeI does not cure
you your druggist will refund your
money This is a good time to cure
catarrh by this natural method and pre-
vent catarrhal colds that are so common
at this season.
