Not until Hyomei was discovered

Hyomei is an oil and its air is

four times day, and during that time
every particle of this Hyomei-laden
air taken into the air passages and
lungs is tmpregnated with powerful
germ killing and health giving anti

Sprays and lotions often cause dis
orders Of the respiratory tracts or
bring on some other diseases and
never make a permanent cure of
catarrh. But when the air OF Hyonlei
penetrates to the Utmost air cells of
the lungs and enters the blood with
the oxygen it not only kills the germs
in the throat and nose, but kills the
bacilli In the blood. freeing the mucous
membranes from poisonous microbe'
and giving perfect health,

conferred, said that he would be
obliged to decline the Office. He as

forth his best efforts in behalf of the

had heard during the afternoon were
uncalled for and unjust, hence he de-
sired to sever lles with the associa-

His announcement was heard with
much regret and finally upon motion
made and adopted that he reconsider
his action, he yielded and accepted
the office with assurance he would
have better support in the future.
