she was at the edge of the roaring tor

man struggled ashore with the boy.
He turned and looked. For one in

TO ALL CATARRH SUFFERERS
Hyomei Guaranteed to Cure by Goo.
e. Greene or Money Refunded.


The popularity and increase in the
sales of Hyomei are unique in the an
nails OF medicine Such astonishing
cures have been made by this remark
able remedy that the proprietors have
authorized Geo. E. Greene to sell ev-
cry package of Hyomei under an alb
solute guarantee that it will cure ca
tarrh. If it does not, the purchaser
can have his money refunded by Geo.
L. Greene
Hyomei is no ordinary remedy. 1t
is the only method of treatment that
sends by direct inhalation to the most
remote part of the air passages, bal
samic air that destroys all catarrhal
germs in the breathing organs. enrich
es and purifies the blood with addi-
tional ozone and makes permanent
and complete cures of catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but $1.00 and consists of an inhaler
that can be carried in the vest pocket,
a medicine dropper and a bottle of Hy-
omei. The inhaler lasts lifetime,
and if one bottle of Hyomei does not
cure, an extra bottle of Hyomei can
be obtained for so cents. 1t is the
most economical of all remedies ad-
vertised for the cure of catarrh, and
is the only one that follows nature in
her method of treating diseases of the
organs.
Breathe through the inhaler for a
few minutes four times a day and your
is cured. That's all.
If not cured Geo. E. Greene will re-
fund your money.
