AN EASYWAYT0EN END
CATARRH FOREVER.
Simple Home Trsstmsnt Destroys Germs
Of This Dangerous Disease Il

The reason why so many people who
suffer frem CatarTh never seem able to
get cured is that they are continually
seeking the momentary relief of sprays,
douches, greasy creams, ointments, etc.
Such things do open up the swollen nos
trils and clear the head temporarily,
besides stopping for while the dis
gushing blowing. hawking, splitting and
choking, but they never cure. To drive
out Catarrh for good you have got to
get down to its real cause. Catarrh is a
germ disease. The air is always full Of
catarrh germs thrown Of by one person
and absorbed by another and when the
system does fail to throw of such germs
they find permanent Judgement in the
nose, throat and head and multiply
rapidly.
The germs of catarrh can best be de-
stroyed by inhaling the pure Jmedieated
air Of Hyomei pronounced High-o-me). /.
This splendid and powerful combination
of oil of Eucalyptus with other healing
agents has wonderful germicidal ac.
tion. You breathe its air into your
nose. throat and lungs by means Of a
small hard rubber inhaler which III. G..
here in Harrisburg and vicinity supply
with every treatment. This medicated
air is certain death to the germs of
Catarrh and drives them completely out
of your system and when the germs are
destroyed the catarrh with all its dis
agreeable symptoms will stop. Even
two or three minutes use will give re-
freshing relief, while, if you will use
it two or three times a day for few
weeks it viii completely Danish catarrh
and every symptom of catarrh. AS Hy-
omei is pleasant to breathe and is al
ways sold by druggists everywhere
with positive guarantee of successful
results or money back, surely no. Ca
tarrh' sufferers should 60 long before
trying this simple home remedy.-Adv.
