RIGHT BREATHING CURE.
CATARRH.
CURES
Simple Way to Kill Catarrhal Germs
in Nose. Throat and Lungs.

The only natural and common sense
method known for the cure Of catarrhal
troubles is Hy-o-mei. 1t is breathed
through an ingenious pocket inhaler SO
that it's medicated air reaches the most
remote air cells of the nose, throat and
lungs, killing all catarrhal germs, sooth-
ing the irritated mucous membrane, and
restoring a healthy condition.
Hy-o-mei goes right to the spot where
the catarrhal germs are present in the
nose, throat and lungs and destroys the
germs SO that perfect health is soon re-
stored.
A complete Hy-o-mei outfit with in
halers costs but $1.00 and is sold by L.
P. Van Werden under guarantee to re-
fund the money unless the remedy gives
satisfaction.
