No More Catarrh.
"There is i o need of catarrh
in Smith?eld," say Hood Bros.,
"if people will only observe the
law of common sense. "
The great success of Hyomei
in the treatment of catarrhal
troubles is responsible for this
statement of Hood Bros. Such
is the quick relief and perma
nent cure from this treatment
that they sell it under an abso
lute guarantee to lefund the
money if it does not do ail that
is claimed for it.
TT ? ? 3!i? i P . _ 1 1
nyomei is aiuerent irom an
| other treatments and medicines
i for catarrhal trouble. It follows
Nature's plan for curing diseases
of the throat and lungs, by bring
ing healing medication i ight to
the very spot vhere the disease
germs exist, killing all catarrhal
germs preventing their growth.
Remember that Hyomei is sold
by Hood Bros, under a guaran
tee that it will cost nothing un
less it cures.
