SUMMER CATARRi.
Mot Weather Seems to Have BAD 81
Feet Upon Some People.

s8oL w GaGReE seems TO Rave Sa0 e.
feet Upon Come People.
It is generally recognized by ply
sicians that many people suffer more
with catarrh during the summer
than in the winter The hot, dry
weather and the change from the
hot days to cool nights seems to have
a bad effect upon the disease.
Even after the usual methods OF
treating catarrh have been unsuccess-
full, j. II. Hill & Son guarantee that
they viii refund the money il Hyo-
mel fails to cure the disease. This
seems Sc fair and reasonable that ii
should induce all catarrh sufferers to
take the treatment.
In many instances Byomei has
cured catarrh when the patient has
suffered since childhood. Quite a
number Of people IN Go!dsboro who
for years have been unable t. get q
good nights sleep on account of the
&A0oSiCCNbAO 'ASh411S anu
at the back OF the throat, have OBJ
tanned quick relief from a few treat
ments Of Hyomei and the continued
use has made d complete and lasting
cure.
There is no stomach dosing when
one uses Hyomei. Simply breathe IFS
medicated air through the pocket in
haler that comes in every outfit and
all germs will be killed and the mu-
cous membrane will be healed.
The complete outfit costs $1,0O, ex-
ira bottles, SOC. Remember that if
Hyomei does not cure, j. H. Hill &
Son will return your money.
