FIFTEEN YEARS OF AGONY. Will You Continue to Suffer from Catarrh in the Face of this Testimony? “I suffered for fifteen years with catarrhal troubles so bad that I had to leave the sea. I could not lie down at night to sleep, on account of the constant‘catarrhal dropping. I went to two different hospitals for treatment, but without any lasting benefit. I was constantly raising yellow and green phlegm, and the trouble was so unbearable and nauseating that I was ashamed to go out in company. 1 have used only two bottles of Hyomei, and have been cured by the demedy. It has made full and complete recovery.” Capt. Willnef. Hyomei is a dry, healing, antiseptic air, extracted from the Eucalyptus groves of Australia. It is a pleasure to use Hyomei, because you do not take it into the stomach; you simply breathe in this germ-killing air, and relief is immediate, and complete recovery is immediate, and complete recovery comes in a few days.
