CURES CATARRH
''Hyomei the Most Wonderful Cure
for Catarrh Ever Discovered" Says
Mayor Yard.

Do not try to cure catarrh by taking
drugs into the stomach; it cannot be
cured In that manner. The only way
which this too common disease can be
cured is throw a direct application
that will kill the bacilli of catarrh and
prevent their growth.
Hyomei is the only known method
Of treatment that accomplishes this.
1t is the simplest, most pleasant, and
the only absolute cure for catarrh that
has ever been discovered.
Former Mayor Emory M. Yard, of
Trenton, N. j., writes: "You have
my permission to say that | believe
'Hyomei' to be one of the most won
derful cures for catarrh and throat
trouble that has ever been discovered.
In my case the effect has been marvel
Gus. l enclose you money order for
two outfits for friends of mine to
whom l have recommended Hyomei'
and who / am anxious shall have the
benefit of this remarkable pannacea."
Woodbridge & Purdy have so much
confidence in the power of Hyomei to
cure catarrh, that they will for a
limited time, sell this medicine under
their personal guarantee to refund the
money II the purchases can say that
it did not help them.
