NOVEL CURE FOR COLDS.
Healing Medication That Is Breathed
Giving Quick Relief.

1t seems just as ridiculous to put
medicine into the stomach to cure a
could in the head or lungs as it does
to go out in the rain if we want tc
keep dry.
The fact that many people right in
Rock Island cough and hawk and
shuttle for days and weeks after they
treat a cold with the usual stomach
dosing shows how valucless are the
ordinary cough and cold cures.
The right way to cure a cold in the
head or cough and irritation i'll the
throat and lungs is by breathing
Hyomei's medicated air. Put a few
crops of Hyomei in the neat pocket
inhaler that comes with every outfit
and breathe this healing air for a few
times and immediate relief will be
noted. The medication goes right to
the spot where the disease germs are
located and renders them harmless in
the future.
At the same time the soothing and
healing effects of Hyomei on the irri
tated mucous membrane give quick re
lief. and the cough or cold is broken up.
The best evidence of the great value
of Hyomei in curing coughs, colds and
all bronchial troubles is the fact that
