SERIOUS CATARRH
YIELDS TO HYOMEI
You Breathe It

Be wise in time and use Hyomei at
the first symptom of catarrh, such as
frequent head colds. constant smiling.
raising of mucus. or droppings in the
throat. Do not let the disease become
deep-seated and you are in danger of
serious IL not fatal ailment.
There is no other treatment for
catarrh, head colds. etc, like the Hyo-
mel method. none just as good. so easy
and pleasant to use. or that gives such
quick. sure. and lasting relief. You
breathe it-no stomach dosing. II. o.
Rolls will refund your money If you
are not benefited.
Try Hyomei at once and see how
quickly it clears the head. stops the
shifting. and banishes catarrh.
Hyomei helps you to enjoy good
health. All druggists sell it. Ask for
