none of these distinguished authorities

Not a Penny Need be Paid Unless 1t
Cures You of Catarrh.
"Use Hyomei and be cured of ca
tarrh,'' say Scallin Bros. When a
responsible business house like this
comes out and advertises that Hy-
omei will not cost a penny unless it
does all that is claimed for it, it
shows what remarkable confidence
they have in this scientific medical
treatment.
A complete Hyomei outfit con.
sists Of a neat inhaler, that can be
carried in the pocket or purse, a
medicine d1opper and a bottle OF
Hyomei, and costs but 81.
The inhaler lasts a lifetime and
when extra bottles Of Hyomei are
needed, they can be obtained for SOC.
This treatment does away with
all dangerous and disagreeaple stom-
ach dosing. Breathed through the
Hyomei inhaler for a few minutes
four times a day, it impregnates
every particle OF air taken into the
air passages and lungs With germ
killing and health giving balsams.
In this way it cures the most chron-
ic and d%eepseated catarrhal diseases
OF the air passages aud respiratory
organs.
The user is the sole judge whether
Hyomie is to be paid for or not. If
it does rot help, Scallin Bros. will
cheerfully return the money and it
will not cost a penny.

his old shipmates with a delight that
