EASY TO CURE CATARRH.
Just Breathe fn Hyomei, the Dry Air
That Kills the Germs

Just Breathe an Hyomei, the Dry Air
That Kills the Germs
You can do exactly what G. !. Sterers
did by using Hyomei. Read this:
After having suffered from chronic
catarrh for years, for which I tried va
rious remedies without success, I he
came most discourager. After read
ing about Hyomei. 1 decided to make
one more effort to rid myself of the
dread disease, and to my great de-
light I found the use OF two bottles
OF the Inhalent sufficient to produce q
complete cure. Now take pleasure in
recommending this remedy to all suf-
ferers from Catarrh."-G. J. Sterers,
Crown City. o.
We don't simply say Evomei will cure
cattarrh, but we say that Summers
pharmacy guarantees it to cure catarrh
or money back. He does more-he
guarantees 1t to cure asthma. bron-
chitis, hay fever, coughs and colds. A
complete Hyomei outfit including in
haler, costs only s1.00 and extra bot
ties, If you afterwards need one, will
cost but cents. Hyomei is a pleas
ant dry air treatment. You just
breathe it in, and as it passes over the
infamn1ed membrane, it kills the
germs of catarrh. and allays all in
| flammation.

remainder to ]. Stah1 of Chicago, re-
ported its transaction, saying that

been appointed by the council to act
as committee for investigation and
will go to Dayton, o., where there is
an excellent system and inspect the

Chicago Land company the right to
put in sidewalks on Carey street, near

ment not required by the company. but
is made nevertheless for the benefit OF
the city as well as for the company.
