YOUR MONEY RETURNED

If Hyomei Does Not Cure You of Ca
tarrh, Says Dodson's Pharmacy
In advertising that they will refunt
the money to any one purchasing |
ayomei outfit who can say that it hal
done them no good in the treatment O.
catarrb, Dodson's Pharmacy means
exactly what the guarantee says.
OF course the per centage of cures
by HYomei is nearly one hundred OF
| else Dodeon's Pharmacy could not af-
ford TO make this unusual offer. But
If the treatment should not be adapted
to your case there will be no question
or quibblings when you go to get your
money.
That the beginning of catarrh is due
to the presence of germs in the air pes.
sages ia now admitted by every physi
clan. It stands to reason that catarrh
cannot be cured unless these germs
are first destroyed. The HyomeI treat
ment kills the catarrh germs even in
the minutest air cells, seothes and heals
the irritated mucous membrane and
makes complete and lasting cures in
cases that have resisted the usual meth
ods of treatment.
Catarrh cannot be cured by medi-
cjnes administered through the stom-
ach. Hyomei is the only natural
method and it has made cures that
seem miraculous. The complete outfit
costs but 81 90 and consists of an in
haler. which will last lifatime, and
sufficient Hyomei for several weeks
treatment. Additional bottles of Hy-
omei can he procured for SOC.
Dodson's Pharmacy gives q personal
guarantee with every Hyomei outfit
they sell to refund the money if 1t does
not cure. There is no risk whatever to
the purchaser Of Hyomei.
