G. A. Parcher Confirms Guarantee
on Hyomei, Cure for Catarrh.

G. A. Parcher Confirms Guarantee
on Hyomei, Cure for Catarrh.
The question having been raised as
togwhether or note. A. Parcher will
refund the money if Hyomei outfit
does not do all that is claimed for it
in curing catarrh, he wants 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
curative powers of Hyomei in all ca
tarrhal troubles. You do not risk a
cent in testing it's healing virtues, G..
A. Parcher takes all the risk.
If you have catarrh, try this Won
derful medicated air of Hyomei. 1t
does not drug or derange the stomach,
but is breathed through neat pocket
inhaler that comes with every outfit,
80 that its medication reaches the
most remote air cells in the nose,
throat and lungs, where any catarrhal
germs may be lurking. 1t quickly de-
stroys them, heals and soothes the
irritated mucous membrane and vital
ICES the tissues so that catarrh Is no
longer possible. You can lose moth
ing by giving Hyomei trial-nothing
but the catarrh, and that is good rid
dance.
The price of the complete outfit is
but 81; nothing if it fails to cure.
Get an outfit from G. A. Parcher to-
day and begin its use at once.
