the Money Back Catarrh Cure
As doubt exists in the minds of

say that the above Is the proper

And il it fails to cure acute or
chronic catarrh, asthma, bronchitis,
Group, hay fever or coughs and colds,
he will give you your money back.
The person who suffers from catarrh
after such an offer as that, must like
to shuttle, spit and wheeze, and be
generally disgusting.

II have used Hyomei for case of
nasal catarrn which had bothered me
for long time. can say that
Hyomei killed the germs Of the
disease and gave me the much sought

liable remedy, and give it the praise
and recommendation that it de-
serves. "a. +. Lowe, r. F. D. No. Z,
