EASY, WAY TO CURE cATARRH
Breathe Hyorei and Kill All Catarrhal
Germs. money Back If It Fails"
Say Rowditch 6: Webster and Percy
w. Means.

There is no dangerous stomach drug
ging when using Hyomei. The healing
and aromatic balsams which compose
this wonderful treatment are breathed
through a neat pocket inhaler that
comes with every 81 outfit.
In this way, the germ-killing and
lealth-g giving Hyomci penetrates to the
most remote cells of the lungs. 1t
searches out and kills disease germs in
he air passa gcs Of the head, throat and
iosc, soothcs and heals the irritated
mucous membrane, and absolutely
Irivcs catarrh from the system.
Such remarkable results have fol-
lowed the use of Hyomei by the best
people in Augusta, that Bowditch &
Webster and Percy w. Means have the
greatest confidence in its power to cure
catarrh. They believe in it so thor
lughly. that they will give their per-
-onal guarantee to refund the money
if it does not cure, the purchaser to be
sole judge.
This is an unusual offer and the
irst time that any medicine or treat
nent for the cure of catarrh has been
sold in this way. If it cures. the ex-
pense is trifling. while if it fails, the
cost is absolutely nothing.
If you arc fortunate enough not tC
he troubled with cat3rrh. tell your
friends of BOwditch & Webster's anG
Percy w. Means offer and get them t.
take advantage of it.
