YOU HAVE
CATARRH READ THIS
Breathe HyOmei Four Times Day and
Watch Results-Gives Prompt Relief

The pleasantest, most convenient and
most scientific method for the treat
ment of catarrh is Hyomei Simply
put a few drops of Hyomei in the in
haler that comes with every complete
package and then breathe it's air for a
few minutes, four times a day.
1t seems remarkable that so simple
a way of treating catarrh will effect
such quick relief, but the most import
ant discoveries of science have always
been the simplest. By breathing Hy-
omei in this way every particle of air
that entries the air passages of the
thraot and head and goes into the
lungs is charged with a healing bal
sam that kills the germs and bacilli
of catarrh and soothes and allays all
irritation
The first days use of Hyomei will
show an improvement and in a short
time there should be no further trou-
BILE from catarrh Its action is rapid
and lasting.
You take no risk in buying Hyomei.
A complete outfit is inexpensive but
if after using you can say that it has
not helped you R. Hodgins will return
your omney. What other treatment for
catarrh is sold under a guarantee like
this? 72-7
