DO NOT DOSE THE STOMACH.
Cure Catarrh by Natures Own Method
EVERY Breath Of Hyomei Brings
Relief,

Nearly every one who has catarrh
knows how foolish it is to try and cure
it by drugging the stomach. Tempo
rary relief may be given, but a cure
seldom comes.
Until recently your physician would
have said the only way to cure catarrh
would be to have change of climate;
but now with Hyomei you can carry
a health giving climate in your vest
pocket and by breathing it a few min
utes four times a day soon cure your
self.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but s1.00 and consists Of an inhaler
that can be carried in the vest pocket
a medicine dropper and a bottle Of
Hyomei. The inhaler lasts LIFETIME,
and If one bottle does not cure, an
extra bottle of Hyomei can be OBJ
tanned for so cents. 1t is the most
economical Of all remedies advertised
for the cure of catarrh, and is the only
one that follows nature in her. method
of treating diseases Of the respiratory
organs.
Bowditch & Webster and Percy W.
Means. Augusta, and Geo. w. Dorr,
waterville, have sold a great many
Hyomei outfits and the more they sell,
the more convinced they are that they
are perfectly safe in guaranteeing to
refund the money if Hyomei does not
cure.

LETTER TO CHAS. WHITE e. CO.,
Augusta, Maine.

Dear Sirs: Would you like to hear
of a 20-year paint?
Mr.. James A. O'Neil's house, Hender-
son, N. c., was painted 20 years ago
with Devoe lead-and- zinc. and never
painted again till last year; it then
looked better than common paint in
half that time.
The reason is: Devoe is all paint
and true paint; while the common
paints are part true and part false.
Don't pay to monkey with paint.
And Devoe costs less then any of
en-; not by the gallon. of course; by
the house and year. That's how to
reckon it. Go by the name.
Yours truly,
