RELIEVES THE WORST
CASES OF CATARRH
Think "Hyomei the Most Wonderful
Treatment for Catarrh
Ever Discovered"

Think "Hyomei the Most Wonderful
Treatment for Catarrh
Ever Discovered"
Do not try to cure catarrh by using
sprays or lotions; it cannot be cured
in that manner. The only way in
which this too common disease can
be fully relieved is through a direct
application to the affected parts that
will kill the bacilli of oatarrh and
prevent their growth.
Breathing the air of Hyomei is the
only known method of treatment that
can really accomplish this. 1t is the
simplest, most pleasant and probably
the most reliable treatment for catarrh
that has ever been discovered.
The complete Hyomei outfit is in.
expensive and consists of an inhaler,
dropper and suffioient Hyomei to last
several weeks. This will effect in
slant relief in ordinary cases, but for
chronic and deep-seated cases of ca
tarrh, longer use may be necessary,
and then an extra bottle If Hyomei
can be obtained for a trifling sum. 1t
is not alone the best lit might be
called the only method of treating
oatarrh, but it is also the most eco
nomical.
. Anders Jacobsen has so much conf
dence in the power of Hyomei to re-
lieve oatarrh, that he will for linn.
tied time, sell this medicine under his
personal guarantee to refund the
money if the purchaser can say that it
did not benefit
