COSTS NOTHING UNLESS CURED
a Fair Offer to All catarrh Sufferer.


The leading druggists of this city are
selling Hyomei on a. plan that has caus-
ed considerable talk amongst their Gus
toners.
The plan is different from that fol-
lowed by other remedies, but the rem-
edy itself is different also. This treat
ment for the cure of catarrh has such
an unusual record of cures to it's credit
that all druggists are authorized to re-
fund the money if it does not give the
desired benefit. This is certainly one
OF the fairest offers that can be made
and any one who has catarrh and does
not take advantage of 1t is doing him
self or herself an injustice.
The Hyomei treatment consists of an
inhaler that can be carried in the vest
pocket, medicine dropper and bottle
of Hyomei. The complete treatment
costs but s1.00, and as the inhaler will
last a life time and there is
sufficient Hyomei for more than
months use, the medicine
Is very Inexpensive. Many peo-
! pie who have used it write that for the
good Hyomei has done them they would
willingly pay thousands of dollars. Ex-
ira bottles OF Hyomei can be procured
for use with the inhaler at so cents.
Do not suffer any longer with tick
ling, smarting, Irritating, burning eye
watering troubles that afflict those who
have catarrh. Hyonei will cure you,
but II you should not find 1t adapted to
your case, your druggist will return
your money.
