Says Air of Hyomei Will Stop Catarrh | "Just Breathe It," Siyi Local Druggist. Tells of Remarkable Cures After All Other Treatment Failed One of the quickest, surest and safest ways of ending a bad case of catarrh is to begin to breathe the air of oil of Hyomei for ten minutes or so. three or four times daily. Most folks who suffer from catarrh want to be rid of it but few seem to know how to go about it. There is no stomach dosing with medicine or spraying or greasy creams to stick up the nose when you use Hyomei. You just breathe it. A few drops of the oil are placed in a little hard rubber Inhaler which comes free with the complete outfit. Put the in haler In your mouth and breathe deeply and each time you inhale you will draw ( into your throat, lungs and air passages a healing medicated air that will pene trate deep down Into every fold and crevice of the membranous linings of i your nose, throat and lungs where no liquid spray could possibly reach and will absolutely kill and drive out of your system every trace of catarrh it j finds there. The air of hyomei heals the inflamed swollen tissues and after the very first trial you notice a won derful improvement. A few weeks' use and every trace of catarrh is killed and driven out of your system. Cases of many years' standing have been successfully treated by this simple method and remarkable stories are re lated of the speedy benefit received. H. C. Kennedy, of this city, states that he as well as other local druggists sell Hyomei with the Inhaler on an abso lute guarantee of prompt relief from catarrh or money back. We advise Catarrhal sufferers to "Just breathe It" and it seldom or never falls them.—Ad- I vertisemeni. PERSONAL AND SOCIAL NEWS MARSH RUN SHE FOR H.C.
