DANGER OF CATARRH.
Unless Properly Treated With Hy-0m-ei,
Becomes Serious.

Catarrhal troubles are far more
dangerous than they seem at first
thought.
If you have catarrh, there is an IL
ritsted state Of the mucous membrane
and weakened tissues which afford an
ideal Judgment and culture medium
for disease germs, especially those Of
consumption.
You should get cured as quickly as
possible before any dangerous germs
that you may breathe lodge on the
diseased tissue and work destruction
in the throat and lungs.
The easiest, simplest, quickest, sur.
est and cheapest way to cure catarrh
is by the direct method, breathing Hy-
omei. This wonderful medicsted al
treatment does not drug and dsrange
the stomach, but is bresthed in, d.
rsctly following and destroying all
disease germs that may have been In
hailed.
The unusual way in which Hyomei
is sold by Remnants Pharmacy is the
best evidence of their confidence il
the treatment and should dispel al
doubt as to its curative properties.
They agree to refund the purchase
price to anyone whom Hyomei fail;
to benefit, and you do not risk cent
in testing Its healing virtues. A COM
plste outfit costs but 81. 90 if it helps
you, not a cent if it does not do al
that is claimed for it.
