Breathed through the neat pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit, 1 i the air that passes into the throat and lungs, is identical with that on the mountains, where it is laden with healing and health giving balsams. ’I It searches out and kills disease ' germs in the most remote and tni- , | nute air cells of the bead, throat and ' lungs, it soothes and heals all irrita ( tion of the mucous membrane. I Hyomei is prescribed by physicians 'generally. Many of them use it : themselves to break up a cold and . prevent pneumonia. j The complete Hyomei outfit con sists of a neat inhaler, that is so ■ small and convenient that it esn b< icarried in the |>ocket <>r purse, a ’ I medicine dropjter and a bottle of ■ Hyomei.
