Os course the percentage of cures by Hyomei is nearly one hundred or else we could not afford to make this unusnal offer. But if the treatment should not be adapted to your case there will l»e no questions or quib blings when you go to get your money. That the beginning of catarrh is due to the presence of germs in tl«*» air passages is now admitted by every pbpsieian. It stands to reasos that catarrh cannot be cured unlees these germs are first destroyed.

Catarrh cannot be cured by medi cines administered through the stoui ach. Hyomei is the only natural method and it has made cures that seem miraculous. The complete out fit costs but SI and consists of an iahaler. which will last a lifetime, and sufficient Hyomei for several weeks’ treatment. Additional bottles of Hyomei can lie procured for 50c. The Holthouse Drug Co. give their personal guarantee with every Hyo mei outfit they sell to refund the money if it does not cure. There is no risk whatever to the purchaser of Hyomei.
