Hyomei, the Only Guaranteed Cure

composition is secret, but Hyomei gives
its furmnla to all reputable physicians
and Is prescribed by them generally.
Its b.iS3 is the valuable eucalyptus
oil, famous (or its antiseptic qualities.
This is combined with uromulic and
bealiug gums and balsams, making a
pure liquid which, whin used in tho
Hyoraoi pocket inhaler, fills the air

destroying and healing powers ihat re
store health to every part of tho nose,
through the lungs.
The only way to euro catarrh and all
other diseases of the respiratory organs
is to breathe H>omei.
This treatment has been so success

have used it, thai li .i is now sold
by Laurena Drug Co. under an abso

case it does not benefit* You run no
risk in buying Hyomei. If it did not
possess unusual powers to cure, it could
not be sold upon this plan.
The complete Hyomei outfit cottts
