NOT A PATENT MEDICINE.
Hymomei a Scientific Treatment for
Catarrh By Breathing Medicated
Air. - . .
Breathed through the pocket inhal
er that comes with every outfit, Hy
raqei destroys all catarrhal germs in
the , air passages of the throat and
nose, soothes and heals the irritated
mucous membrane and effectually
drives" from the system all traces of
catarrhal poison.
No one should confound Hyomel
with the use of patent medicines that
are advertised as catarrh; cures. It is
as superior., to them as the , diamond
is more valuable than cheap glass.
The complete llyomei outfit consist
ing of a neat pocket inhaler, a medi
cine dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei
costs but $1, and extra bottles can be
obtained for 50 cents, making it the
most economical method of curing ca
tarrh, as well as the most reliable.
R. H. Jordan & Co. have sold a great
many Hyomei outfits and . have seen
such remarkable results from its use,
that they sell it under ' an aDsolue
guarantee that it costs nothing unless
it cures.' A
If not convenlentto obtain Hyoroel
of R. H. Jordan or some other druggist
it will be forwarded from the laborato
ry by mail on receipt of price.
