MONEY BACK
CATARRH
REMEDY

Dosing the stomach won't kill Ca
tarrh germs. Neither will sprays,
douches, snuAs or ointments.
The quickest way to kill germs is
to breathe deep into the lungs the
vaporized air of Booths HYOMEI.
AS this antiseptic air passes over
the sore spots infested with Catarrh
germs, it not only destroys them, but
heals the infamed membrane and
stops the discharge of mucus.
Then hawking, splitting, snuf1ng
crusts in nose and foul breath will
disappear, and vile, disgusting Catarrh
will be conquered.
A complete HYOMEI outfit, which
includes a hard rubber inhaler, only
costs $1.00. Extra bottles, If after
wards needed, soc; and The ow
Drug store is authorized to refund
your money if dissatisfied.
