would please print this letter in as

a convenient size to be carried in the
vest pocket, so that the user can
breathe Hyomei four or five times

ties can be obtained for 80 cents.
We trust this letter will settle any
doubts that may have arisen as to our
willingness to refund the money for a
Hyomei outfit in case the purchaser is
not perfectly satisfied.
We wish to say empha,ically that our
guarantee ON Hyomei holds good, and
we will refund the money TO any dis
