CO.'S CONFIDENCE. IN 'l VOM IM . Not a Fenny Need ?e Paid Unless It Cures You of Catarrh. "Uso Hyomol and be cured of ca tarrh," say Laurons Drug Co. When a responsible business house like this comes and advertises that Hyomei will not cost a ponny uoloss It docs all that is claimed for it, it shows what rc markablo confidence they have in ibis sciontilic medical treatment. A comploto llyomel outfit consists of ] a neat inhaler, that can be carriod in tho pockot or puree, a medicine drop per and a botte of llyomel, and costs but$l. Tho inhaler lasts a lifetime and when oxtra bottles of Hyomei are needed, they can be obtained for 50 cents. This treatment doos away with all disagreeable and dangerous stomach dosing. Breathed through tho Hyo mei inhaler for a few minutes four times a day, it impregnates ovory par ticle of air taken into tho air passages and lungs with germ-killing and health-giving balsams. In this way It cures the most chronic and docp-soated catarrhal dlseasos of tho air passages and respiratory organs. The user is the sole judge whethor Hy omei is to be paid for or not. If it doos not help, Laurens'DrugCo., will cheer fully return the money and it will not eost a penny. WAKEFUL CHILDREN. For a long timo the two year old child of Mr. P. L. McPhorson, 59 N.
