Stammering and Deafness

Stammering has hitherto been sup.
posed to be purely . nervous defect.
Some experiences recently required BY
the surgeons connected with the Ear
Hospital. Soho Square, tend to call
this view more or less in question. In
carrying out certain operations to cure
children Of deafness. it was found that
in several successful cases the operat-
ors had also simultaneously cured the
patients OF stammering. This fact It
tracted special attention and study.
and the outcome has been the firm
conviction that stsmmerinR. in the ma
jority Of cases, does not proceed from
q nervous ma lady, but from some OBJ
struction or defect connected with the
organs OF hearing. In = number Of
cases selected purposely from the pub
lie schools this fact has. it Il said. been
abundantly demonstrated.-St James
Gazette.

THURSDAY, MARCH 2S, 1889.
additional Editorial on first page.

STANLEY MATTHEWS, Associate JUS
tice of the Supreme Court of the United
States, died at his home in Washington
last Friday.
Justice Matthews was appointed to
the Supreme Court bench in 1881, by
President Garfield. He was resident
of Glendale, suburb of Cincinnati. In
politics he was very eceentric-a Demo
crat. the successor of DR.. Gamaliel
Bailey as editor of an anti-slavery pa
per at Cincinnati, and Republican
but as lawyer he had few equals. Sen
ator Hoar well says of him: His mind
was always intent on the judicial prob
lem to be solved. He solved it as a
problem of jurisprudence, unconscious
of the persons or interests to be affect
ed by the result" This is striking de-
scription of a perfect jurist.
Justice Matthews widow was the
widow of the late Hon. Thomas C.
Theaker, a member of Congress from
this district in 1859-60, and afterward
Commissioner of Patents. She was a
clerk in the Postoffice department when
she married Mr.. Theaker.

CATARRH.

A new home treatment for the cure
of Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness and Hay
Fever
The microscope has proved that these
diseases are contagious, and that they
are due to the presence of living para
sites in the lining membrane of the up
per air passages and eustachian tubes.
The eminent scientists, Tyndall, Huxley
and Beale, endorse this and these au-
thorities cannot be disputed. The reg
ular method of treating these diseases is
to apply an irritant remedy weekly and
even daily thus keeping the delicate
membrane in a constant state of irrita-
tion, accompanied by violent sneezing,
allowing it no chance to heal, and as a
natural consequence of such treatment
not one permanent cure has ever been
recorded. 1t is an absolute fact that
these diseases cannot be cured by any ap-
plication made oftener than once in two
weeks, for the membrane must get a
chance to heal before any application is
repeated. 1t is now seven years since
Mr. Dixon discovered the parasite in
catarrh and formulated his new treat
ment, and since then his remedy has be-
come a household word in every country
where the English language is spoken.
Cures affected by him seven years ago
are cures still, there having been no re-
turn of the disease.
SO highly are these rene les valued,
and so great is the demand for them,
that the ignorant imitators have started
up everywhere, pretending to destroy a
parasite, of which they know nothing,
by remedies the result of the application
of which they are equally ignorant. Mr..
Dixon's remedy is applied once IN two
weeks, and from one to three applica-
tions effect a permanent cure in the
most aggravated cases. n. B.-For ca
tarrh troubles peculiar to females this
remedy is specific.
Mr.. Dixon sends pamphlet describ-
ing his new treatment on the receipt Of
Zoe in stamps. The address is A. H
Dixon & Son, 3O3 King Street West,
Toronto, Canada.-Scientifc american.
