WHO FUSES HYOMEI?
The Res Pc. pie IN Barton. Says
Fred ID. Pierce z Guaranteed
in afaTrhal Troubles.

No other re medy or treatment for
catarrh has everHb been as popular or
made sc many remarkable cures in
Barton as Hyomei.
The best people attest its curative
virtues, says Fred D. Pierce, who ia the
local agent. The fair way in which
Hyomei was sold, TO refund the money
unless it gave, salts action, was the
best proof when it was introduced
that it possessed unusual curative
powers. Fred DfPierce. took all the
risk of the treatment giving satisfac
ton, and left it to the purchasers to
be the judge.
Later. when Hyomei was used and
recommended by cur well-known
physician and business men and their
wives as a treatment that absolutely
cured cat arrh, no matter how serious
or ong-standing, the sales rapidly
grew and to-day there is no other
remedy in Fred D. Pierce's stock that
has such large and staple sale.
The first breath of. Hyomei's heal
ing ar kills al catarrhal poison.
