VALUE OF RIGHT BREATHING.
Health Comes From Knowing How ane
What to Breathe.

Dust laden with the germs Of con-
sumption or other disease is inhaled
by all who use the streets, but disease
is not developed unless the germs find
conditions suitable for their lodgmen
and growth.
With people having catarrh there is
an ideal culture medium for these
germs, as the eirritated membrane and
weakened tissues is a hot-bed where
germs must thrive and multiply until
they are numerous and active.
If you have catarrh, you should use
the easiest, simplest and quickest cure,
the direct method of Hyomei. whose
wonderful medicated air is taken in
with the air you breathe, directly fol-
lowing the destroying germs that have
been inhaled repairing any damage
they may have worked and so healing
and vitalizing the tissues as to render
catarrh and germ infection no longer
possible.
The unusual way in which Hyomei is
sold should dispel all doubt as to it's

noticed strange canine waiting pa
