Pall Months Cause Sickness?Breathe Hyomci, and be Cured of Catarrh. Catarrhal troubles arc more common at this season than at any other time of the year. The sudden changes that come during the fall months are pro ductive of many cases of catarrh that without proper treatment will become chronic. The plcasantest, most convenient, and only scientific method for the Ueatment and cure of catarrh, is Hyomei. Simp ly put twenty drops in a little pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit, and then breathe it for three minutes four times a day. No dangerous drug or alcoholic con coctions are taken into the system when Hyomei is used. Breathed through the inhaler, the balsamic fragrance of Hyo mci penetrates to the most remote cells of the nose and throat, and thus kills the catarrhal germs, heals the irritated mucous membrane, and gives complete and permanent cure. Thousands of testimonials have been given as to the astonishing cures made by this remedy. J. S. Nugent, treas urer of the New York Life Insurance Company, writes: "Hyomei has com pletely cured my (laughter of catarrh, from which she has been a sufferer for years." The complete Hyomei outfit costs but one dollar, and as the inhaler will last a lifetime and there is sufficient Hyomei for several weeks treatment, it is the most economical catarrhal remedy known. Extra bottles can be procured for fifty cents. Ask the Laurens Drug Co. to show you the strong guarantee under which they sell Hyomei. Citation for Letters of Administration.
