Simple Way to Cure Catarrh by lily
emei Without Stomach Dosing.

1t Is the height of folly to dose the
stomach with internal medicines to cure
nasal catarrh. Il cannot be cured ex-
cept the catarrhal germs that are present
in the nose, throat and lungs have first
been killed.
The soothing air of Hyomei heals
the smarting and raw membrane of the
air passages in the nose, throat and
lungs kills off the catarrhal germs and
rids the system of the last traces of
catarlh.
The complete Hyomei outfit consists
of bard rubber inhaler which can be
carried in the purse or vest pocket, a
medicine dropper, and bottle of Hy-
omei and costs only one dollar, while
extra bottles can be obtained for so
cents.
Dodson's Pharmacy positively guar
antee a cure when Hyomei is used IN
accordance with the simple directions
on the package, or they will refund the
money. This certainly shows their faith
and belief in the virtues of Hyomei.
