same length of time for a partial deafness
of long standing, joins with me in express

DR.. Smyth's advertisement in to-dsy's paper.
contains several new testimonials from RESPONSE
BILE citizens of Burlington. The letters are
genuine and strongly endorse DR.. S. as an eta-

in high esteem for his sound counsel and intez-
rity in fulfilling all promises which he makes
1t should be borne in mind by the afflicted that
many cases require weeks of careful and unre-
hitting treatment, and therefore no time sheulI
be lost by those who would confer with DE-
