SPLITTING NUISANCE.
Hawking and Splitting Is Caused by
Catarrh Germs.

Hawking and Splitting Is Caused by
Catarrh Germs.
If the local authorities want to
stop the disgusting habit of splitting
mucous on the sidewalks, they had
better instruct the people as to the
best method of killing the catarrh
germs and curing catarrh.
You can easily tell by reading the
symptoms below whether you have
cdtarrh or not.
Offensive breath, frequent sneez-
ing, discharge from nose, stoppage
of the nose, huskiness of the voice.
tickling in throat, droppings in
throat, a cough, pain in chest, loss
of strength, variable appetite. spasms
of coughing. low spirited at times.
raising of mucous, difficulty in
breathing. loss of vital force.
The Harper house pharmacy has a
sensible remedy (money back if it
fails) for catarrh, called Hyomei
which is vaporized air so antiseptic
that when it is breathed over the
inflammed and germ-infested mem
brane. it kills all germ life and cures
catarrh.
The price, including hard rubber
inhaler, is only S1.00 and money
back if it doesn't cure. Extra bot
ties, so cents.
81 have tried almost every catarrh
cure on the market without benefit.
Have been using Hyomei for one
week and feel like new man al
