NOT ApATENT MEDICINE
Hyomei. the Guaranteed Catarrh
Cure. Prescribed BY Physicians.

No one should confound Hyomei with
the patent medicines that are adver-
tised to cure catarrh. 1t is as far sup
erior to them all as the diamond is
more valuable than cheap glass. Their
composition is secret, but Hyomei
gives it's formula to all reputable ply
sicians.
Its base is the valuable eucalyptus
oil, famous for it's sntiseptic qualities.
This is combined with aromatic and
healing gums and balsams, making a
pure liquid, which when used in the
Hyomei pocket inhaler, fills the air
you breathe with germ-killing, disease
destroying and healing powers that
kills all catarrhal gemrs there may be
in the throat, nose and lungs.
How foolish it is to try and cure ca
tarrah by swallowing tablets or liquids.
The only natural way to cure this dis
ease and all other diseases of the re-
spiratory organs is to breathe Hyomei.
This treatment has been so success
full, curing SO per cent. of all who have
used it, that Hyomei is now sold by
L. P. Van Werden under an absolute
guarantee to refund the money if it
does not cure. You run no risk what
ever in buying Hyomei. if it did not
possess unsual powers to cure, it could
not be sold upon this plan.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
$1.O0 and comprises an inhaler, bottle
of Hyomei and a dropper. The inhaler
will last a lifetime; and additional
bottles of Hyomei can be obtained for
so cents.

work and worthiness to givers, who might be
unable to obtain trustworthy information un-
