BETTER THAN MEDICINE.
Breathe Hyomei's Tonic Healing and
BE Cured Of Catarrh.

Nature has a remedy for catarrh,
a treatment that is far better than
dosing the stomach with medicine
and drugs.
1t is the healing oils and balsams
of Hyomei which medicate the air
you breathe, reaching the most re-
mote air cells in the nose, throat
and lungs, killing catarrhal germs
and restoring health to the mucuous
membrane.
The use of Hyomei is like a cura-
tive internal air bath, and has the
same healing and antiseptic effect
as the air where the pine forests
give off their fragrant and healing
balsams.
Breathe the invigorating and heal
ing Hyomei and see how quickly
you will get relief from catarrh. #
it does not help you there will not
be penny's expense, as G. G. Case
agrees to refund the money if it
fails to cure. The complete Hyomei
outfit costs only s1.00. 27-29-33-w
