Ever since Hyomel has been known its formula has been given to physicians, druggists, and, in fact, to all intelligent people who could appreciate the true merit of the com- bination 6€ healing gums, oils and balsams of which it is composed. Many leading ph jans indorse Hyomet and prescribe :t for catarrh- al troubles. In fact, quite a few of them use it themselves to break up & cold and pfevent pneumonia. They regard it'as a natural yet scleutifio way of curing catarrh. Breathed through the pocket in- haler that comes with every outfit, Hyomet destroys all catarrhal germs in the air-passages of the throat and nose, sooth nd heals the irritated mucous membrane and effectually drives from the system all traces of catarrhal poison, No one should confound Hyomet with the patent medicines that are advertised as catarrh cures. It is a8 superior to them all as the diamond is more valuable thin cheap glass, The complete Hyomei outfit, con sisting of a neat pocket inhaler, a medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyomei, costs but $1, and extra bot- tles can be obtained for 50 cents, making it the most economical meth od of curing catarrh as well as the most reliable.
