Simple Way to Overcome the Dangers
of this Disagreeable Disease.
Catarrh Is an Inflammation of the
mucous membrane of the nose, throat
and lungs, with many annoying symp
toms. In this climate there nre few
who do not suffer from this disagree
able disease, often In a chronic and
dangerous state.
Fortunately, within the last few
years, a simple and reliable treatment
for catarrhal troubles has been found
-Ilyomel, a combination of healing
and germ-kllllng balsams, that, when
breathed through the neat pocket In
haler that comes with every outfit,
reaches the tiniest cells in tho resplr
atory organs, carrying Its healing and
health-giving properties to every part
where the catarrhal poison Is t'-H
ent.
Used in this way, Ilyomel kills all
catarrhal germs, drives ihe poison
from the system, and heals all Irrita
tion that may be present In tho mu
cous membrane,
If you have the ordinary catarrhal
svmntoms. such as offensive breath
burning pains in the throat, cough,
raising of toucous, difficulty In breath -Inir.
sneezing, husklness, discharge
from the nose, droppings in the throat
coughing spasms, etc., begin the use
of Hyomei at once.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but
tl. extra bottles, if needed, CO cents,
and Is sold by T. F. Laurens under
an absolute guarunteo that it will cure
catarrh or money will be refunded.
