 Catarrh can never be cured by tax ing medicines into the stomach nor by sprays, Atomizers or douches.
 Intelligent physicians have long ago discarded such idess. and not one of them would be worth consideration were it not for the fact that nnscrnpu. lous persons prey upon the ignorance If 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 cRtarrh.
 There is only one way to cure oatarrh, and that is to kill the germs.
 There is only one remedy that will kill the germs when it gets where the germs are, and that is Hyomei.
 Hyomei is made chiefly from Aus tralian Eucalyptus and Eucalyptol comb mbined with other germ killing antiseptics Just breathe it in through the hard rubber inhaler that comes with each outfit and relief ia immediate. Used regularly for few weeks Hyomei pronounced High -o-me will cure chronic catarrh. Complete outfit $l %. At AndersJ aoobsen's and leading druggists everywhere.
