An Easy Way to End
Catarrh Forever
Simple Home Treatment Destroys
Germs Of This Dangerous Disease.


The reason why SO many people who
get cured Is that they are continually
seeking the momentary relief of sprays
douching, greasy creams, Ointments, etc.
Such things do open up the swollen nos
trils and clear the head temporarily, be-
sides stopping for awhile the disgusting
blowing. hawking. splitting and choking'
but they never cure. To drive out Ca
tarrh for good you have got to get down
to it's real cause. Catarrh is a germ dis
ease. The air is always full Of catarrh
germs thrown off by one person and alb
sorbed by another and when the system
does fail to throw off such germs they
find permanent lodgment in the nose,
throat and head and multiply rapidly.
The germs of catarrh can be best de-
stroyed by inhaling the pure medicated
air of Hyomei pronounced High-o-me).
This splendid and powerful combination
of oil of Eucalyptus with other healing
agents has wonderful germicidal action.
You breathe it's air into your nose, throat
and lungs by means Of a small hard rub
Der inhaler which Observation-Disclosures &
Co. and other leading druggists here in
Augusta and vicinity supply with every
treatment. This indicated air is certain
death to the germs of Catarrh and drives
them completely out of your system and
when the germs are destroyed the ca
tarrh with all its disagreeable symptoms
will stop. Even two or three minutes
use will give refreshing relief, while, II
you will use it two or three times a day
for few weeks it will completely Danish
catarrh and every symptom of catarrh.
AS HyOmei is pleasant to breathe and is
always sold by druggists everywhere with
positive guarantee of successful results
or money back. surely no Catarrhal suf-
ferer should go long before trying this
simple home remedy.-Adv. feb22-25-29
