OF coughing, raising Of mucous, drop
ping in the throat and offensive
breath. and have asked themselves
what is the matter.
The trouble is that they are af-

condition, the disease will increase
and spread through the delicate mu-
cous membrane that lines the air pas-
sages, and a chronic and serious stage

At the first symptoms Of catarrh,
Hy0mei should be used. There Is no
other treatment like II or just as good
none that can take its place and cure

cost. II is a scientific medicated air

range the stomach, but is breathed in.
