DANGEROUS CATARRH
STOPPED BY HYOMEI

Just as long as you have catarrh,
your head will be stopped up, your
nose will itch, your breath will be
foul, you will hawk and sniffle, you
Will have droppings in the throat
and that choked up feeling in the
morning. The germs of catarrh have
you in ther power; they are con-
tinually irritating the membrane OF
your nose and throat.
You must kill these loathsome
germs or their desperate assaults
will in time leave you a physical
wreck.
There is one remedy sold by J..
M. Gleissner & Son that is guaran-
teed to kill the germs and stop
catarrh, or money back. 1t is Hy-
omei-you breathe it. The COM
p1ete outfit costs $1.00. There is
none just as good or that gives such
quick, sure and effective relief.
