In addition to breathing Hyomei three
or four times a day through the in
haler that comes with every outfit, it is
well in the treatment of catarrh or
catarrhal colds to .moisten a piece of
flannel with few drops OF HyomeI, and
pin it to the night clothes right under
the chin. In this way, Hyomei will be
breathed the whole night long, curing
while you sleep. In most cases it will
break up cold over night.
The complete Hyomei outfit. consist
ing of pocket inhaler, a medicine drop
per, and bottle of Hyomei costs but
one dollar The inhaler will last a life
time, and if more Hyomei is needed,
extra bottles can be obtained for fifty
cents.
1t is the most economical of all remed-
les for the cure of catarrh, and the only
one that follows a natural method in
treating diseases of the respiratory
organs. Physicians advise change of
climate for the cure of catarrh. With
Hyomei, change of climate is gained
while at home. Its healing balsams inn
pregnate the air you breathe, aud their
health giving and germ-destroying
powers 60 to the most remote air cells
of the respiratory organs.
You take no risk in buying Hyomei.

in its power to kill catarrb, grippe, and
catarrhal colds, that he sells it under his
personal guarantee to refund the money
If it fails to cure.
