CATARRH CAUSED BY A GERM Mint ll r l)rNt rovril Before <'otarrh llaelf Cnn He Curril. Say# Speelnllst. Wonderful lltmiltn from Brenth- Inv Medleateil Air. Medicino taken into the stomach will never euro catnrrh. And neither will the sprays, douches, lotions, creams and other temporary reliefs that so many catarrh victims make a habit of using. To cure catarrh so it won't come back you must tlrst drive from your body the millions of germs that are flourish ing in the inner recesses of your nose and throat and are causing the dis ease. , There is a preparation which does this called Hyomel (pronounced Bigh o-me). Hyomel is. a germ killing va porized air formed from the purest oil of Kucalyptus combined with other healing and antiseptic Ingredients. You breathe Hyomel through the mouth and nose by means of a little liArd rub ber inhaler which druggists furnish with it. This medicated germicidal air penetrates into every fold and crevice 3f the mucous membrance of your nose and throat, kills the catarrh germs that lodge there, soothes, reduces and heals the swollen inflamed membranes, stops the discharge and opens up the clog ged nose and air passages in a truly wonderful'way. It gives blessed relief in five minutes from catarrhal distress of every kind and if you make a prac tice of breathing Hyomel for a few minutes each day for just a few weeks not only will all the symptoms of ca tarrh vanish but the disease itself will be a thing of the past. No one need try or buy Hyomel on pure faith. H. C. Kennedy and many other leading druggists in Harrisburg and vicinity sell it with the positive guarantee that It must cure catarrh or that the money paid for it will be n funded. Hyomel is very inexpensive and with this protecting guarantee behind your purchase there is absolutely no reason why any sufferer from Catarrh should not give it a fair trial.—Advertisement. IF KIDNEYS MID BLADDER BOTHER Take Salts to flush Kidneys and neutralize irritating acids. Kidney and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, says a noted authority. The kidneys iilter thra acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where It often remains to irritate and inflame, causing a burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufTerer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse: again, there is difficulty in avoiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can't control urina tion. While It is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about fqur ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which then act normally again. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid iritation. Jad Salts is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever. Here you have a pleasant, efferves cent llthia-water drink, which quickly relieves bladder trouble.—Advertise ment. rWHmr5iT "!
