GIVES RELIEF QUICKLY.
Regular Use OF Hyomei Cures Most
Stubborn Case Of catarrh.

No other medicine gives such relief
as Hyomei in the treatment OF ca
tarrh.
The first breath Of this remedy
soothes and heals the irritated. and
smarting air passages, and the regu-
lar use for few days or weeks will
cure the most stubborn case. Some
of the reports of those who have been
cured of catarrh by Hyomei read like
miracles.
The complete Hyomel outfit costs
but $1.O0, consisting OF an inhaler,
dropper and sufficient Hyomei 70 last
several weeks. This will effect a cure
In ordinary cases, but for chronic and
deep-seated cases OF catarrh longer
use may be necessary, and then extra
bottles of Hyomei can be obtained
for SOC
Probably the strongest evidence
that can be offered as TO the powers
of Hyomei to cure catarrh Is the fact
that X. N. Goolrick will agree to re-
fund the money If you say that
Hyomei has not helped you.

recently built a large barn on his Glover
Dale farm, several miles from Potomac

hay and grain, but all the corn raised on
his two farms is fed to his cattle, horses
and sheep, which he markets at top
prices. He sold a number OF veal calves
