NO cATARRH THERE.
No Hawking, snuffIing and Blowing
In Inland Australia.

In inland Australia, where grows
the eucalyptus, king of all trees, and
the tall majestic pines, catarrh, asth-
ma and consumption are unknown.
This is because the air is filled with
the antiseptic balsams thrown out by
these trees and being breathed in,
this strongly antiseptic air prevents
germ life from gaining a foothold and
catarrh and consumption, both germ
diseases, cannot exist.
Hyomei is the extract taken from
the trees of pine and eucalyptus, and
has exactly the same healing, sooth-
ing, antiseptic power.
And now you can buy Hyomei az
leading drug, stores everywhere, and
here in Palestine. A complete outfit,
including a hard rubber inhaler, is
sold by Bratton Drug Co. for only 81,
with a positive guarantee to cure or
money back All you have to do is TO
pour a few drops of Hyomei into the
inhaler and breathe it in; it cures ca
taarh by killing the germs; it gives
relief from catarrh, coughs, colds,
consumption, asthma and hay fever
in few minutes. Try this pleasant
treatment and forever rid yourself of
that disgusting disease catarrh. Elk.
