Hyomei is a wonderful antiseptic,

five minutes. it cures in few weeks
or money back.
1t is made chiefly of eucalyptus
and eucalyptol taken from the eu-
calyptus forests of inland Australia.
The medical profession knows that
eucalyptus is an absolutely certain
germ destroyer and with the active
principles of eucalyptus as a base
Hyomei is made more efficient,
pleasant and quick acting by the ad-
dition of Thymol an antiseptic and
disinfectant largely employed in the
Historian system Guaiacol and other
important medicinal agents are also
included in the Hyomei formula
which, without doubt, is the great
est destroyer of catarrh germs the
world has ever known.
Hyomei is a powerful penetrating
antiseptic that is pleasant to use. 1t
does not contain particle of CO.
