Communication from R. H. Moody.
Offer to Refund Money if Hyomei Doe.
Not Cure Catarrh.

Offer to Refund Money if Hyomei Does
Not Cure Catarrh.
To the Editor of The Republican journal:
have been asked recently if the adver-
tisements printed in your columns regard
ing lyomei were true, where l offer to
refund the money if this treatment does not
cure catarrh. l wish you would please
print this letter in as conspicuous place
as possible in your paper, saying that we
absolutely agree to refund the money to
any purchaser of a HyOmei outfit if it does
not cure catarrh.
This outfit consists of an inhaler of a con-
venient size to be Cal ried in the vest pocket
SO that the user can breathe Hyomei four
or five times daily. With this is included a
medicine dropper and bottle of Hyomei
The outfit sells for Sl.0O and is a most
economical treatment, for the inhaler lasts
lifetime and there is enough Hyomei for
several weeks use, while extra bottles can
be obtained for so cents.
| trust this letter will settle any doubts
that may have arisen as to my willingness
to refund the money for HyOme outfit, in
case the purchaser is not perfectly salts
fed.
wish to say emphatically that my guar
antee on Hyomei holds good, and | will re-
fund the money to any dissatisfied pur-
chaser who simply states that he has used
the treatment according to directions and
not been helped.
Respectfully yours,
r. H. MOODY.
