SPRING CATARRH.
! L. Taggart Sells Hyomei Under Guar
antee of Cure.
The changeable weather of Spring is
directly responsible for the prevalence of
catarrhal troubles in Emporium at the
present time.
As a result, L. Taggait has had a
larger sale for Hyomei the past week than
ever before in the years that he has
handled this reliable treatment for the
cure of catarrh.
Unlike the ordinary remedies that have
been used in catarrhal troubles, there is
no stomach dosing with Hyomei. Tt is
breathed through a neat pocket inhaler
that comes with every outlit, and its bal-'
samic, antiseptic healing penetrates to the
most remote cells of the nose, throat and
lungs killing all catarrhal germs, healing
the irritated mucous membrane, and effect
ing a complete and permanent cure.
If there is a single catarrhal germ in
the system, Hyomei will search it out
and absolutely destroy it, completely
eradicating the trouble. The remedy has
made so many cures among L. Taggart's
customers that he offers to pay for it him
self if it does not benefit even the worst
case of catarrh.
The complete outfit costs only 81 eon - i
sistliv.' of an inhaler, medicine dropper,
and bottle of Hyomei, while extra bottles i
of Hyomei, can be obtained for 50 cents.
There wilt not be even this small expense
it' Hyomei does not euro, as L. Tairgart
will return your money.
