Good News For
Catarrh Sufferers

So many hundreds of catarrh vic
tins who have taken the HYOMEI
treatment, have written thanking us
for publishing our method of taking
the HYOMEI vapor treatment in con.
nection with the inhaler that we glad,
ly publish it again.
The vapor treatment is especially
recommended in stubborn cases OF
chronic catarrh of long standing but
remember that the inhaler should be
used daily as usual.
This treatment only takes five min
utes time before going to bed. Pour
a teaspoonful of HYOMEI into a bowl
of boiling water cover head and bowl
with a towel and breathe for several
minutes the vapor that arises.
You will be surprised at the result
of this treatment; 1t makes the head
feel fine and clear; you will sleep bet
ter and that stuffed up feeling will
gradually disappear.
This method will break up the
worst cold in the head in one night.
A bottle of HYOMEI costs 80 cents
at w. l.. Gokay's who guarantees 1t
Compete outfit which includes the lit
tie pocket inhaler costs $1.00.

eases of the breathing organs. Ere,
