Oh, how that ear ached!

Catarrh!
The eustachian tubes are small tubes,

ordinary drum has a small hole in the barrel

Troubles Before the Disease Extends

Only a bad cold we think when the little
one is coughing and sneeZing. his bright
little eyes inf1amed and filled with tears and
his face flushed with fever. Only a day or
two and he will be all right again. Some
simple domestic remedy is administered,
and in short time the cold apparently dis
appears.
Little is thought or the matter at the time
and in few days another cold follows, more
severe, perhaps, than the former, but not so
much so as to cause alarm. 1t receives the
same treatment as the other and is relieved,
only to be followed by another and another,
until finally the little one is a sufferer from
chronic catarrh.
After time it is noticed that the child
does not respond promptly when spoken to-
He must be addressed in a louder tone Can
1t be possible he is becoming dear 1t is
true that such is the case. The inflamma-
tlon, once started in the mucous membrane

MEDICINES FURNISHED DIRECT rC
PATIENTS.

Drs Copeland, Hall and Byers Have Their
Own Medical Laboratory and Regis
tered Druggist OF Many Years Practical
Experience in Charge.
Drs Copeland, Hall and Byers believe and
always have believed that the interests OF
the patient and doctor should be more
closely allied than those of the doctor and
the druggist.
it is right that the solicitude of the physf.
clan for the patient should be extended even
to the matter of the expense to which the pa.
tient is put in the process of getting cured.
1t is a physicians simple duty to spare his
patients, whether they are rich or poor,
every possible expense.
Now by buying their drugs direct from the
manufacturers, Drs. Copeland, Hall and
Byers are able to furnish their prescriptions
to their patients at absolutely wholesale
cost. This makes it possible for them to
place their treatment within the reach OF
all. This makes the IS rate possibility.

TO admit the air to the inside. This is done
to allow the pressure Of air to be edual on
both sides of the drumhead, and without it
the drum would be worthless.
So it is with the middle ear; the pressure
must be equal on both sides, so that the
drumhead (called the tympanum) may be
sensitive to respond to the delicate vibra-
tions of air, which. when communicated to
the brain through the auditory nerve, pro-
duce sound. If anything happens to OBJ
struct the eustachian tubes hearing is very
much impaired, if not entirely destroyed.
The illustration makes IL plain how easily it
is for the catarrhal process to extend from
the nose to the throat and thence up the
eustachian tubes to the middle ear. The
mucous lining OF these little tubes becomes
inf1amed and thickened, and the tubes
wholly or partially closed up; the equilibrium
of air pressure is disturbed, and the roaring,
buzzing, cracking and kissing noises, SO
annoying to thousands OF catarrhal subjects
follow, accompanied nearly always by dull
ness or entire loss OF hearing.
II the disease is permitted to run on un-
checked the small bones of the ear, marked
2 and 3 in the illustration, will be DESTROYED
and the drum attacked, perforated and de-
stroyed, and total deafness will follow.
Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers have un-
qualified success in the treatment of these
cases. Their methods are the result OF many
years of study and practice, and have been
demonstrated to be the most successful in
use at the present time.

and intiamed and painful. and she had dry,
hacking cough. Her sleep at night was
greatly disturbed. She was nervous, restless
and fretful, sometimes seeming hot and
feverish and again cold and chilly.
1--WE were constantly on our guard to pre-
vent her contracting fresh colds, but despite
all our efforts it seemed it could not be done,
Medicines and remedies we used only
afforded slight temporary relief In a few
days she would be as bad as ever, and realiz-
ing the danger threatening her we consulted
Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers and placed
her under treatment with them.
Her progress and improvement under
their oare was very fiattering. Our fear
vanished when we saw how nicely she was
getting along. Our little girl is now well
again. She has gained quite considerably,
and all who knew her now remark on how
well she looks. To be sure, we appreciate

Children are as subject to catarrh as
adults and much of the trouble re terred to
other diseases. such as habitual headache,
cough worms, collie, etc, is caused by this
disease. They become weak and puny, and

Watt and the Steamboat.

James Watt, who did SO much TO make
the steam engine of practical use, did not,
so far as can be learned, take any deep in
terest in the subject of steam navigation.
Yet incidentally he did good deal to ad-
vance it. In his old age he paid visit to
his native town of Greenock.
On Aug. 10, 1872 small steamboat had
begun making regular trips between that
place and Glasgow. and gradually the
service was extended to other points, sew
eral boats being put into commission. The
old engineer went on one of the new YES
GELS to Rothesay and back, the trip then
occupying the whole day. Mr.. William
son, in his Memories of James Watt. "

"Mr. Watt entered into conversation
with the engineer of the boat. pointing out
to him the method of backing the engine.
with foot rule he demonstrated to him
what he meant. Not succeeding, however.

passion, threw off his overcoat, and put

Important II True.

Drawn from oceans cool depths by the
alluring music Of the waves, a glorious
nymph lightly rises on a foam capped bill
low, pauses on its crest with an alluring
toss and smile, softly glides into the shadow
from whence anon she springs, foam
crowned and sparkling, to sport with the
breeze, while her coral bells ring chimes to
Neptune's pulsating heart.
Rising on the crest of a wave, suddenly
enamored ocean clasps her to his bosom,
from whom she springs, wrathful and
frowning, only to be caught and flung, all
smiling and radiant, to the caressing sun
light, but all mermaid and water sprite
she flirts with the spray and wells herself
with its liquid sheen, and leaping to meet
the flying zephyr's kisses shakes showers
Of sparkling diamonds from her floating
tresses.
With a threatening toss at the too IA
miliar sunbeams she pauses for an instant
on the topping height of a billow, then,
tossing kiss to admiring nature, again
plunges into the green shadows, while the
music of the waves softly woos her back.
Clothed in a mantle of foam she allows
herself to be charmed to return, and then
scolding the familiar waves and softly ca
ressing the sunbeams she floats and bounds
In the music's wild undulation, until with
a joyous bound and farewell kiss to the
breeze, followed by glittering stream OF
light, she sinks into Neptune's enchanted
caves and leaves all nature sad and sigh.
