SOMETHING SHOULD Be DONE


In spite of the best efforts Of medi.
cal men, catarrhal troubles are increas-
ing not only in Bennington, but all
over the country.
Catarrh is a germ disease, and to
cure it germ life in the breathing or
gans should be destroyed, and to do
this no other treatment has such posi-.
tive and beneficial action as Hyomei
When the mucous membrane Is ir-
ritated and raw and the tissues weak.
ened, there is an ideal lodging place
for catarrhal germs. Breathe Hyomei
and see how quickly 1t soOthes the
membranes, vitalizes the tissues and
destroys all the disease germs, render
ing catarrh no longer possible.
There is no dangerous stomach
drugging when Hyomei is used; no tab
let's or liquid mixtures destroying d.
gestiOn.
Breathed through the neat pocket
inhaler that comes with every Hyomei
outfit, the healing balsams penetrate
to the most remote air cells of the
throat, nose and lungs, destroying the
catarrhal germs so that quick recovery
follows.
w. H. Gokay agrees to refund the
money to any purchaser of Hyomei
who does not find that it does all that
is claimed for it. The complete outfit
costs but $1.00.
