Now is the Time for Hyomei.
Far Easier to Cure Catarrh Now Than at an
Other Season.

Far Easier to Cure Catarrh Now Than at any
Other Season.
Now is the time to use Hyomei, when
the early summer days make it SC
easy to cure catarrhal troubles. The
IIyomei treatment breathed for three
or four times a day in May or June,
will do good twice as quickly as it did
in January, and nearly everyone
knows that used faithfully then, it
completely rids the system of catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but one dollar, and consists of a neat
inhaler that can be carried in the
purse or vest-pocket and will last a
lifetime. medicine dropper, and a
bottle of Hyomei. Extra bottles of
Hyomei can be procured, if desired,
for fifty cents. J. M. Taylor gives
his personal guarantee with every Hy-
omei outfit they sell to refund the
money if it does not give satisfaction.
There is no risk whatever to the pur-
chaser of Hyomei.
