CATA9RA Gk0H,oG LESS
Due 10 the Uss Of Kynmsi -Cm.s Without
Stomach Dosing.

Inquiry at the local drug stores shows
that the sale OF remedies iur caterrh has
decreased very much in the last year.
Some medicines which were formerly
bought gross at time are now
purchased in half dozen lots, and are
rarely called for.
There is one notable exception to this
decrease in sale, and that is HyOmei.
This remedy is, in fact, responsible for
the decrease In sale OF catarrh medicines.
as it has made so many cures OF
catarrhal troubles that naturally there
is much less demand for remediesiOr that
disease.
People who have been trying different
medicines for catarrh during many years
were induced 70 begin the use Of Hyomei
by X. n. Goolrick's guarantee, that the
remedy would cost nothing unless cured.
Much to their surprise, they found that
Hyomei did what it claimed df it did
not X. n. Goolrick could not sell it
under this guaranteed and they soon
became ardent advocates OF the use OF
HyOme.
There is no disagreeable stomach dos
ing with Hyomei; it is used by being
breathed through a neat pocket inhaler.
The complete outfit costs but one dollar,
extra bottles, II needed, fifty cents.
With every Hyomei outfit X. N. Cool
rick gives his personal guarantee that
the money will be refunded unless the
treatment cures, so that you run no risk
at all In buying this remarkable remedy.
