Driving Many Worthless Catarrt

Driving Many Worthless Catarrt
Medicines Out OF Existence.
Many worthless remedies that have
been advertised for the cure of catarrh
have been driven out of existence by
the Pure Food Law.
This has naturally increased the
sale of reliable remedies, and those
that fulfill the provisions of the law.
Hyomei, for example, has larger
sale than before, and Hanson & Emer-
son still sell it under a guarantee
that it will cure catarrh or the money
will be refunded.
Breathe Hyomei three or four times
daily through the neat pocket inhaler
that comes with every outfit, and its
healing air will reach the most remote
parts OF the nose, throat and lungs,
killing all catarrhal germs and sooth-
ing and healing any irritation in the
mucous membrane.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
$1.0O, extra bottles, if needed, Soc, and
sold by Hanson & Emerson under the
guarantee that it will cure or cost
nothing.

To Hear
From
Cooper

L. i
q, We wish to call the attention of the public to
to series of short talks by L. T. Cooper that are
to be published in this paper.
o. The Cooper medicines have made remarkable re-
cord in the leading cities of the United States during the
past years and young Mr. Cooper has been the SUBJ
ject of much newspaper comment.
o. Mr.. Cooper has met and talked with thousands of
sick people in his visits almost every large city in the
country.
q. He is noted of very few words and tells
briefly in these articles what his preparations are doing
for sick people and why they have been successful
wherever introduced.
Mr.. Coopers theory is that half of all human ills
is caused by stomach trouble and the wonderful sue
of his preparations in the treatment of stomach
disorders, kidney and liver complaints rheumatism etc.,
seems to have proven this claim.
Some time ago secured the agency for these cee-
brated medicines. We have been gratied bv the
extreme satisfaction of those who have purchased them
from us and advise every to read these short alks
as they are full of terse, common sense.
