Hyomei Cures catarrh by Simple

Monev III IL Fails To Cure

Hyomei Cures catarrh by Simple
Breathing-Z. James Belt Refunds
Money If It Fails To Cure.
A long stride toward solving the
mystery Of curing catarrh was taken
with the discovery of Hyomei. In
fact, the percentage of cures by this
treatment proves it equal to the final
tests.
The folly of taking medicine into
the stomach to cure catarrh of the
nose, throat and lungs, has been real
lied by physicians, but not until Hy-
omei was known, had they a practi-
cal method that woull obviate stom-
ach drugging.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but
81, and consists of a neat pocket in
haler that can be used anywhere
without attracting attention, a medi-
cine dropper and a bottle of Hy-
omel. Extra bottles of Hyomei cost
but soc.
Breathing Hyomei through the in
haler. every particle of air that en-
ters the nose, throat and lungs, is
charged with a healing balsam that
soothes and allays all irritation, kills
the catarrhal germs and enriches the
blood with additional ozone.
4. James Belt has so much faith
In the power Of Hyomei to cure ca
tarrh, that he is selling It under his
personal guarantee to refund the
money II it does not give positive re-
lief.

Governor Lea has determined to collect
the states claim OF $4,000 against Uncle
sam without having 10 furnish col

is nothing extraordinary about that; Il
would be stupid to have done otherwise,
but since Mr.. Lea was acting for the
State instead Of in private capacity his
exercise of business Judgment and his re-
gard for common honesty are considered
remarkable. In these days OF graft that
sort of thing probably is remarkable, and
