People who have catarrh are liable to become victims of dread consumption. The reason is very simple. Germs of consumption, no matter how vicious, can make little headway when the membrane of the nose, throat and bron chial tubes Is In a healthy condition. When, however, the membrane Is raw, sore and inflamed because of ca tarrh and the ravages of devilish catarrh microbes, the germs of consumption can easily and quickly find a home to their liking and thus begins thousands of cases of consumption. It starts with a cough and ends in a coffin. Get rid of catarrh, if you have it, and you can get rid of it If you will breathe HYOMEI. a soothing healing antiseptic air that reaches the nose and throat and goea clear into the air cells of the lungs, where It destroys catarrh germs and cures catarrh. Sprays, douches, snuffs, ointments and stomach dosing won't cure catarrh. You've got to gat where the germs are before you can kill "them, and HYOMEI gets there while all other treatments fail. Delays only invite needless danger; get a HYOMEI outfit today at any good drug store for $1.00. If you already own a HYOMEI inhaler, you can get a bottle of HYOMEI for only BO cents.
