Think "Hyomei the Most Wonderful
Treatment for Catarrh Ever
Discovered.''.
Do not try to cure catarrh by using
sprays or lotions; it cannot be cuied
in that manner. The only way in
which this too common disease can be
fully relieved is through a direct ap
plication to the affected parts that
will kill the bacilli of catarrh and
prevent their growth.
Breathing the air of Hyomei is the
only known method of treatment that
can really accomplish this. It is the
simplest, most pleasant and probably
the most reliable treatment for ca
tarrh that has ever been discovered.
The complete Hyomei outfit is in
expensive and consists of an inhaler,
dropper and sulncient Hyomei to last
several weeks. This will effect in
stant relief in ordinary cases, but for
chronic and deep-seated cases of ca
tarrh, longer use may be necessary,
and then an extra bottle of Hyomei
can be obtained for a trifling sum. It
is not alone the best (it might be
mlled the only) method of treating
catarrh, but it is also the most economical.
Conrad Stafiin has so much confi
dence in the power of Hyomei to re
lieve catarrh, that he will for a lim
ited time, sell this medicine under
his personal guarantee to refund the
money if the purchaser can say that
it did not benefit. 707
