THE RIGHT TIME TO CURE
CATARRH.
Chas. Rhodes Guarantees that
Hyomei VIII Cure If Used
Now.

The early summer when the weather
becomes warm and settled is the best
time OF the whole year to treat catarrhal
troubles with expectation of quick and
lasting relief
Everyone who has catarrh Of the head
and throat should know how foolish il is
to try and cure ii by dragging the stomach.
tntil recently your physician would
have said that the only way TO cure
catarrh would be a change of climate, but
now with Hyomei you can carry a health
giving climate in your purse or vest
pocket, and by breathing il a few minutes
tour times day soon cure yourself
Everyone who has catarrh. or even a
tendency to catarrh, should use Hvomei
now, for the benefit will be gained twice
as quickly and the disease thoroughly
eradicated from the system.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
one dollar, and includes a neat pocket
inhaler medicine dropper and sufficient
liyomei for several weeks treatment.
The inhaler lasts a lifetime, and if more
Hyomei is needed, extra bottles can be
for SO cents.
In Alma there are scores OF well known
people who have been cured of catarrh
by Hyomei. If ii does not cure Won
Chas. Rhodes will return your money
This is the strongest evidence he can
offer as to his faith i'll the remedy. |

If one could take six distinct and diff

OF fighting the bacteria which give us
our diseases. Next to the actual bacte-
ria of disease, the mosquitoes and flies
are the most dangerous enemies of
man. The mosquito with its bite in
lects into our veins malaria, yellow
fever, and other fatal troubles. The
fly, with spongy feet, collects the invis-
ible germs Of diseases, spreads them
over our food and poisons us with ty-
phoid, cholera and other plaques of the
human race.
GOOD RED BLOOD OUR AMMUNITION.
The blood which flows through our
veins and arteries should contain
healthy red blood corpuscles which are
capable of warding off the attack of
the disease germs if they get into the
