TRUTH ABOUT CATARRR
Sensible Methods Will Cure ff. E. G. Fowler Guarantees HyOEne1 to
 Cure CataFFh.

Catarrh can never be cured by talk ing medicines into the stomach nor by sprays, atomizers or touches.
 Intelligent physicians have long ago discarded such ideas and not one or them would be worth consideration were 1t not for the fact that unscrupu- Ious persons prey upon the ignorance of the people in regard to new dis coveries.
 Catarrh is caused by germs and just as long as these germs thrive in the folds, crevices. hooks and corners of the mucous membrane that line the nose, throat and chest. just so long will you have catarrh.
 There is only one way to cure catarrh. and that Is to kill the germs.
 There is only one remedy that will kill the germs when 1t gets where the germs are. and that is Hyomei.
 Hyomei is made chiefly from Aus tralian Eucalyptus and Eucalyptol com bined with other germ killing antisep- tics. Just breathe 1t in through the hard rubber inhaler that comes with each outfit and relief is immediate. Used regularly for a few weeks Hyo- mel (pronounced High-o-me) will cure chronic catarrh. Complete outfit a1.O0 at E. c. Fowler's and leading drug gists everywhere.
