CATARRH GERMS
EASILY KILLED
Only Way to Cure This Disease Is To
Destroy Its Cause,

Destroy Its Cause.
II you have catarrh and want to get rid
OF 1t you must kill the germs which cause
catarrh. Stomach dosing. ointments
sprays, creams, douches, ETC., fail be-
cause they overlook this fact. They all
help by giving temporary relief but they
do not reach the germ life that has found
Judgement in your head. nose. throat. and
could not destroy it if they did.
The best known way of destroying the
dangerous germs of Catarrh and conse-
quently ending the disease itself is to
breathe into the air passages Of your
nose and throat the pleasant, penetrating
air of Hyomei pronounced High-o-me)
Hyomei Is made from purest oil of Eu-
calyptus combined with other powerful
healing, antiseptic and germicidal ingre-
dients. You breathe it through a little
pocket inhaler which Bowditch- Webster
& Co. and other leading druggists in Au-
gusta and vicinity are furnishing with
every complete treatment sold. Every
time you inhale the sweet, fragrant air
of Hyomei through this little device you
are drawing into your swollen, inf1amed
germ laden membranes a medicated air
which will not only reduce all the swell
ing and Inflammation and open your
clogged nose and stopped-up air pas
sages. but will absolutely and positively
destroy every trace of Catarrh germ life
it reaches. Druggists are so sure Of the
blessed, lasting relief that Hyomei brings
to catarrh sufferers that they sell it in
money paid will be refunded If success
full results are not secured from it's use
Get Hyomei outfit from your druggist
today and begin at once to drive this
dangerous and disgusting disease from
your system forever.-Adv. fah11-16-12
