A severe cold or attack of la grippe

it the better your chances are to over

by Boschee's German Syrup, which
was always literally used in connect

and is still in greater household favor
than any known remedy. But even
without the application of the old
fashioned aids German Syrup will
cure severe cold in quick time. 1t

CURE WITHOUT STOMACH DOSING
HyOmei Cures Catarrh by Simple
Breathing. Dawson Drug Co. Re-
funds Money if 1t Fails to Cure.

4 long stride toward solving the
mystery of curing satarrh was taken
with the discovery of Hyomei. In
fact, the percentage of cures by this
treatment proves it equal to the final
sestS.
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 practical
method that would obviate stomach
drugging.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but

haler that can be used anywhere with
out attracting attention, a medicine
dropper and bottle of Hyomei. Extra
bottles of Hyomei cost but soc.
Breathing Hyomei through the in
haler, every particle of air that enters
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.
Dawson Drug Co. have so much
faith in the power of Hyomei to cure
catarrh that they are selling it under

any left, return it and pay for the rest
Agreed.
He returned four gallons and took
the agency. Four or five years ago.
He knows now that his old paint was
