NOT A PATENT MEDICINE.
Hyomei, the Uuaranteed Catarrh Cure,
Prescribed by Physicians.
No one should confound Hyomei
with patent medicines that aro adver
tised to cure catarrh. It is as far
superior to them all as tho diamond
is more valuable than cheap glass.
Their composition is secret, but Hyo
rrol gives its formula to all reputable
physicians.
It Is not foolish to try and cure ca
tarrh by swallowing tablets or liquids?
The only natural way to cure this dis
ease and all other diseases of the re
spiratory organs is to breathe Hyomol.
This treatment has been so success
ful, curing 09 percent, of ail who have
used It, that Hyomei is now sold by
The Laurens Drug Co. under an abso
lute guarantee to refund the money if
it does not cure You run no risk
whatever in buying Hyomei. If it did
not possess unusual powers to cure, it
could not be sold upon thi< plan.
