WHISKY" COLD CURES.
Danger Of Using Alcoholic Mixtures or
Coal Tar Tablets.

The most dangerous thing that one
can do when affected with a cough or
cold is to use medicine that contains
whisky or a tablet that is made OF
some coal tar product. Putting aside
all moral objections to filling UP with
whisky or drugs because one has a
cold. the injurious physical effect
should be sufficient to keep one from
using these strong medicines.
The most sensible as well as the
only scientific way to treat a cough or
cold is by inhaling medication that
will kill the germs and give relief to
the irritated mucous membrane in the
nose. throat and lungs.
Among the few remedies that are
used in this way. Hyomei stands pre-
eminent. 1t is breathed through neat
pocket inhaler that comes with every
outfit. and the first breath of its heal
ing air relieves the irritation. and it,
continued use soon effects a thorough
cure.
The best people in Augusta and
Waterville always keep Hyomei
at hand in the winter months.
and at the first symptoms of a
cold or bronchial trouble, use the
remedy and prevent serious and lasting
illness If YOU have any doubts as to
the effects Of Hyomei in curing coughs.
