Last Years Sales of Hy0mei, the

Larger Than Ever.

So pronounced is the relief and
cure following the use Of Hyomsi, that
is has been publicly recommended by
leading druggists and physicians in
nearly every state and town in the
county, with the result that the last

The fact that Hyomei is so simple
and complete and that it cures ca
tarrh by breathing medicated air and
not taking drugs into the stomach, no
doubt has helped to create this wide
