POSITIVELY RESTORES THE HEARING, AND IS
THE ONLY ABSOLUTE CURE FOR
DEAFNESS KNOWN.
This Oil is extracted from a peculiar spe-
cies of small WHITE SHARK, caught ia the
Yellow Sea, known as Caveharodon Rondeletti.
Every Chinese fisherman knows it. Its vir-
tues as restorative of hearing were discov-
e1ed by a Buddhist Priest about the year
141O. Its cures were so numerous and many
so seemingly miraculous. that the remedy
was officially proclaimed over the entire
Empire. Its use became SO universal that
for over 300 years no Deafness has existed
among the Chinese people. Sent, charges
prepaid, to any address at 81 per bottle.

Its virtues are unquestionable and it's cura-
tive character absolute, as the writer can
personally testify, both from experience and
observation.
Among the many readers of the Review in
one part and another of the country, it is
probable that numbers are afflicted with deaf
ness, and to such it may be said: ''Write at
once to Haylock & Co., Dey Street, New
York, enclosing 81, and you will receive by

like anybody else, and whose curative effects
will be permanent. You will never regret
doing so."-Eddtor Of Mercantile Review.
