SAYS It IS FACT
Hanson g. Emerson Confirm Guar
antee on Hyomei, Cure Tor
Catarrh

The question having been raised as
to whether or no Hanson & Emerson
will refund the money if Hyomei
outfit does not do all that is claimed
for it in curing catarrh, they want to
state positively that this guarantee is
an absolute fact.
A guarantee like this is the best
proof that can be offered as to the cura-
tive powers of Hyomei in all catarrhal
troubles. You:do not risk cent in
testing its healing virtues, Hanson &
Emerson take all the risk.
If you have catarrh, try this wonder
full medicated air Of Hyomei. 1t does
not drug or derange the stomach, but
is breathed through a neat pocket in
haler that comes with every outfit, so
that its medication reaches the most
remote air cells in the nose, throat and
lungs, whereiany catarrhal germs may
be lurking.
1t quickly destroys them, heals and
soothes the irritatsd mucous membrane
and vitalizes the tissues so that catarrh
is no longer possible. You can lose
nothing by giving Hyomei trial,
nothing but the catarrh and that is a
good riddance.
The price of the complete outfit is
but $l.OO; nothing if it fails t., cure.
Get an outfit from Hanson & Emerson
to-day and begin its use at once.
