That HyOmci viii Cure All Forms Of
Catarrhal Diseases.

*Tcstimonials could be printed NV
~ thousands many Of them from
sumter and nearby towns. that Hyo-
mel is an absolute cure for all ca
tarrhal troubles, but the best proof of
It's unusual curative powers is the
guarantee that J. f. w, De4,orme
gives with every outfit that he sells.
Money back if Hyomei does not, do
all that is claimed for it,"
omNi is not a secret remedy It's
irEmula is given freely 70 physicians
VINO want to know what they use
when they prescribe Hyomei. It is
guaranteed under the pure food and
drug law by serial No. 141s.
By breathing Hyomei, the healing
medication goes directly to every nook
and corner Of the air passages where
the catarrhal germs may lurk, and
disinfects and heals. TO be convinced
of this you have only to give it trial,
remembering that if it does not cure.
j. F. w. DeLorn,e will refund your
money.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but 81, and in most cases is sufficient
to cure the disease, making it not only
scientific treatment, but one that is
highly economical. Get an outfit to-
day from j. +. W., DeLorme if you

EAT WHAT YOU WANT,
Science Has NOw Found the True
Way 10 Cure Indigestion.

sA few years ago when a sufferer
from indigestion went to a stomach
specialist, the result was rigid diet
list that almost meant starvation.
But the first thing TO do in the case
ofindigestion or stomach weakness is
to strengthen the muscular walls Of
the stomach, and intestines, so that
they will care for the food that is
eaten. In 40 other way can this be
done as well as by taking, Mi-o-na
tablet before each meal. This re-
stores strength to the. stomach mus
cies and stimulates The pouring out
Of gastric juices, so that the food is
,digested readily and it's noerishment
retained in the system to build up en-
ergy and vitality

sleeplessness and the many other
symptom that are the direct result Of
indigestion, win go away of them

and strengthened by Mi-o-na before
you can e'well and strong, free from
suffering and distress.
