Catarrhal Deafness, Hay Fever---A New
Home Treatment.
Christian Advocate. ..
Sufferers are not generally aware
that these diseases are contagious, or
that they are due to the presence OF
living parasites In the lining mem
brane of the nose and custaehian tubes
Microscopic research, however, has
proved this to be a fact and the result
OF this discovery is that simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
catarTh, catarrhal deafness and hay
fever are perimantly cured in from one
to three simple applications made at
home by the patient once in two
weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not a
snuff or an ointment; both have been
discarded by reputable physicians as
injurious. A pamphlet explaining this
new treatment is sent free on receipt

~ould Gx up little surprise fer the foug-
floted pufioiner OF fresh meat. He had
slaughtered o beef that day, end Is occurred
to him tBnt ae besT w5uld like TO have

chonE OF the lights, go5 some tough wi:e,
oeded sn Old ,nusket With 81 ounce bsii
and Judged tc the edge Of the swamp

He nailed the meat to the upper sids of
lo9 jast inside tbs sWsmp, braced up the
muskei &c that she mpzze rested an the leg
directly bsck of the bait, and fastened oce
end Of tins wire to the meat and the other TO
the trigger. Than he cooked the masket

As soon as it was light HI took his rihs snd
went 10 the swamp. NO dead bear WAS in sight
but ffty-pound catsmount lay stiff anc liiel, IS
near the log. The ball had hit it rigat between
the eyes, and the animal hsd been killed 10 eud-
denly that it hsdnt stirred cut of its tracks. Mr..
