Why SUFFER?
Breathe Hyomei and Kill the Loath-
some Catarrh Germs.


Just as long as you have catarrh
your nose will itch, your breath
will be foul, you will hawk and spit
and you will do other disgusting
things because you can't help your
self. The germs of catarrh have
got you in their power; they are
continually and persistently digging
into and irritating the mucous
membrane OF your nose and throat.
They are now making your life
miserable; in time they will sap
your entire system of its energy,
its strength, its vigor and vitality.
But there is one remedy that
will kill the germs and cure catarrh,
and that is Hyomei, the Australian
dry air treatment.
L. NJ. Wood, the druggist, will
guarantee Hyomei to cure catarrh,
or money back. Don't delay this
! pleasant antiseptic treatment.
Breathe in Hyomei and kill the
germs.
! L. NJ. Wood will sell you a COM
plete Hyomei outfit, including in
haler, for only $1.OO l. is also
guaranteed to cure bronchitis, asth-
ma, coughs, colds, hay fever and

to be released claiming that the court
martial which resulted in finding him
guilty in Havana, Cuba, on the 23d

army regulation. Mccullough was to
serve two years at the penitentiary,
