A Great Boon to
Catarrh Sufferers
Wonderful Results From Breathing
Medicated Air

Medicine taken into the stomach will
never cure catarrh. And neither will
the sprays, douches, lotions, creams and
other temporary reliefs that so many
catarrh victims make habit of using.
To cure catarrh so it won't come back
you must first drive from your body the
millions of germs that are flourishing
in the inner recesses of your nose and
throat and are causing the disease.
There is a preparation which does
this called Hyomei pronounced High
o-me). Hyomei is germ killing vapor
lied air formed from the purest oil Of
Eucalyptus combined with other heal
ing and antiseptic ingredients. You
breathe Hyomei through the mouth and
nose by means of little hard rubber
inhaler which druggists furnish with it.
This medieated germicidal air pene-
trates into every fold and crevice of the
mucous membrane of your nose and
throat, kills the catarrh germs that
lodge there, soothes, reduces and heals
the swollen infamed membranes, stops
the discharge and opens up the clogged
nose and air passages in a truly won
derful way. 1t gives blessed relief in
five minutes from catarrhal distress of
every kind and if you makes practice
of breathing Hyomei for few minutes
each day for just a few weeks not only
will all the symptoms of catarrh vanish
but The disease itself will be a thing of
the past. No one need try or buy Hy-
omei On pure faith. Fl. C. Kennedy
and many other leading druggists in
Harrisburg and vicinity sell it with the
positive guarantee that it must cure
catarrh or that the money paid for it
will be refunded. Hyomei is very mex
pensive and with this protecting guar
antee behind your purchase there is alb
soutely 70 reason why any sufferer
from Catarrh should not give it a fair
trial.-Ady.

Some Victims Of La Grippe

Health Of the Lungs


THERE'S the reason Why you should stop

They're dangerous. FoLEY's HONEY AND TAI

says; II had severe case Of grippe and my
doctor prescribed FoLRy's HONEY AND TAR,
and it soon overcome my attack of grippe.
When my children have colds never think Of
any cough medicine but ToLEr's HONEY AND
TAR, for can alwaysd depend on it."
I'D. ENTERKIN, Winston, Ca, writes: "I
had terrible attack Of pneumouia, both lungs
involved. After recovering somewhat, my
lungs never cleared mp, and / suffered So
verely from congestion. thought 500 bottle
Of FoLFY's HONEY AND TAI, and 1t alone
entirely cured me"
FoLEY's HONEY AND TAR has q record for
successful healing that no other cough medi-
cine can equal. It is absolutely free Of opiates

jority of people. Use It for all coughs, colds,
