CURES CATARRH.
''HyomeI the Most Wonderful Cure for Ca
tarrh Ever Discovered" Says
Mayor Yard.

Do not try to cure catarrh by TAX
ing drugs into the stomach; il cannot
be cured in that manner. The only
way in which this too common dis
ease can be cured * through di-
reel 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.
Thousands of unsolicited testimoni-
ais have been received from the most
prominent men and women in the
country who have been cured by this
remarkable remedy. Ministers. law
yers, even eminent physicians have
sent strong testimonials as to the
remarkable powers of Hyomei to
cure catarrh.
Former Mayor Emory NJ. Yard. of
Trenton. y. j.. writes: You have my
permission TO say that | believe 'Hyo-
mel to be one of the most wonderful
cures for catarrh and throat trouble
| that has ever been discovered. In my
case the effect has been marvellous.
| enclose you money order for two
outfits for friends of mine to whom
have recommended "Hyomei" and who
| am anxious shall have the benefit
of this remarkable panacea."
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but 100. consisting of an inhaler
dropper and sufficient Hyomei to last
over u month. This will effect cure
in ordinary cases, but for chronic and
deep seated cases of catarrh, longer
use is necessary. and then extra bot
ties of Hyomei. Ga months treatment)
can be obtained for so cents. 1t is not
alone the best lit might be called the
only method of curing catarrh, but
| it is also the most economical.
T. II. Thomas has so much conf
dence in the power of Hyomei to cure
catarrh that he will for Il limited
time sell this medicine under his per
sonal guarantee to refund the money
if the purchasers can say it did not
