ONLY GUARANTEED CATARRH
CURE
'.Hyomel Costs You Nothing Ii 1t
Falls" Says L. p. Van Merden.

Among the many medicines upon the
market that claim to cure catarrh none
but Hyomei has enough faith in it's own
merit to offer to refund the money if it
does not cure.
Hyomei is the only method of treat
ment that sends by direct inhalation to
the most part Of air passages, bal
samic air that destroys all catarrhal
gems in the breathing organs, enriches
and purifies the blood with additional
ozone, and makes permanent and COM
plete cure of catarrh.
The complete outfit costs $1.O0 and
comprises an inhaler, bottle of Hyomei
and dropper. The inhaler will last
a lifetime and additional bottles of
Hyomei can be obtained for so cents.
Breathe Hyomei for few minutes
four times day, and your catarrh will
grow better from the first days use and
will be completely cured within short
time.
1t is the only treatment for scatarrh
where you can get your money back
from local dealer i. P. Van Werden in
case it does not heIL.
