HELP COMES QUICKLY
When Hyomei Is Used for Head Colds,
Catarrh or Group

When your head is all stuffed up
causing you duh headaches, difficult
breathing, constant shifting, and you
feel generally miserable, there is moth
ing quite equal to Hyomei to give quick,
effective and lasting beneft-yet per-
fectly harmless, simple to use and in
expensive.
To get quick and certain relief from
catarrh or a cold it is most important
that the medication goes directly to the
infiamed tissue lining the air passages.
That's the Hyomei method. just put a
few drops of antiseptic Hyomei in the
inhaler that comes with every complete
outfit, and breathe it--you will feel
better at once. 1t clears the head,
quickly relieves the tightness in the
chest and that chokedup feeling, all
disagreeable nasal discharges, watery
eyes and dull headaches surely cease.
So certain is H. C. Kennedy of the
curative powers of Hyomei for catarrh,
Group, asthma, and similar diseases, that
he sells it ON the Mcclure o.pay"
