WHAT is CATARRH?
n. o. Rolls Guarantees to Cure By
Hyomei or Will Refund the Money.

Until very recent years, IL was
thought that catarrh was a disease of
the blood. but now modern science has
proved that catarrh is a germ disease,
and can be cured only by treatment
that will kill the germ and heal the
mucuous membrane of the. nose and
throat.
Therefore, when you have catarrh,
you can readily see that if you want
to cure it, you should use HyOmei,
which medicates the air you breathe,
thus killing the catarrhal germs and
healing the smarting and raw mem
brane of the passages through the
nose and throat.
The complete Hyomei outfit, consist
ing of an inhaler, a bottle of HyOmei,
and a medicine dropper, costs only 81,
while extra bottles can be obtained for
so cents.
H o. Rolls has sold a great many
Hyomei outfits, and the more he sells,
the more convinced he is that he is
perfectly safe in guaranteeing TO re-
fund the money if Hyomei does not
cure

CONSTIPATION AND IT'S CAUSES.
A Well Known Remedy.

Constipation is one of mans worst
enemies, and half the bodily Ills we
suffer from are a result thereof Ma
ture meant that the bowels should be
kept free and open-that we should
have free movement at least once a
Cay. Of course we ourselves are to a
large extent responsible for our trou-
bles by failure to observe natures
laws. Our habits are irregular, we eat
improper food with undue haste. and
when we find our bowels do not move,
have resort to powerful drugs and
their action that, although they may
purge at first, they damage the tender
lining of the stomach and bowels so
as to leave a worse condition than
before. And why take such injurious
and expensive drugs when we can OBJ
tain from any druggist, much cheaper
a bottle of natures own remedy-the
famous mineral laxative water =
Hunyadi JanoS-bottled at the springs
in Hungary; in use nearly half cen
fury One dose, half a tumblerful, drunk
on arising in the morning, (slightly
warmed for best results) will bring with
in an hour refreshing movement-gen-
tie, natural, and thorough-without
effects. A whole bottle costs but a
trifle. Keep one always on hand. AT
all druggists.
