Advises All Catarh Victims to End LOathsOme Catarh with
Opex and Get Rid of Disgusting Mucus
80 Days Free Trial Say
All Peoples Drug Stores

Catarrh one of the most loathsome of diseases
is caused by germs-wcked, vicious, persistent
pests that multiply rapidly and by digging into and
devouring the tender membrane soreness
swelling, inflammation and mucous discharges.
A few years ago, Catarrh considered incur
able, because clever enough to get to-
gether a formula that would spread the meHf-
brapes of the nasal tract purifying substance. =.
But Opex changed all that and now all you have.
to do to get rid Of catarrh is to spray 0pex
and send catarrh to eternity.
just note the picture showing how Opex puts
catarrh out of business. See the steam-ke smoke
going in one nostril and out the other .,
When you use Opex you see the healing, purify
Ing vapor fine as smoke coming thru the nostrils
and it will come thru no matter how stuffed up
they are
The Washington times., 1929-01-10

Breathe in you spray-you reach the
bottom of the lungs with Opex.
The price of bottle of Opex that will last two
months. is 95c--it is easily worth one hundred
dollars to any man or who wants clean
healthy nostrls free from disgusting mucus.
Opex usually ends the most stubborn case of
catarrh in few days because it soothes and heals
the sore inflanied membranes reduces the swelling
and purifies the entire nasal tract.
To make it easy for ;catarrh sufferers in this
vicinity to secure a bottle of Opex and specially
constructed Opex atomizer, Peoples Drug Stores
have agreed to keep supply on hand at all times
and will gladly show anyone how easy it is to get
rid of disgusting catarrh at trifling cost.
Opex is sold with the distinct understanding that
if you not satisfied at the end of 80 days your
money will be gladly returned. Opex is delightful
to use because of its wholesome fragrance
