little eyes infamed and filled with tears and
his face flushed with fever. Only a day or
two and he will be all right gain. Some
simple domestic remedy is administered,
and in short time the cold apparently dis
appears
Little is thought OF 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 ano ther,
until finally the little one is a sufferer from
chronic catarrh.
After time it is noticed that the HID
does not respond promptly VIII en- spoken to.
He must be addressed in a louder tone. Can
it be possible he is becoming deaf? 1t is
true that such is the case. The inf1amma-
tion, once started in the mucous membrane
OF the nose, naturally follows that membrane
into all the organs which it lines. 1t at
tacks the membrane of the eustachan tubes
leading from the upper back part of the

inf1amed and thickened and the tubes par

and infiamed 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.
"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 few
days she would be as bad as ever, and realiZ-
ing the danger threatening herw consulted
Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers and placed
her under treatment with them.
Her progress and improvement under
their care was very flattering. Our fear
vanished when we saw how nicely she was
getting along. Our little girl is now well

and all who knew her now remark on how
well she looks. To be sure, we appreciate
the services of Drs. Copeland, Hall and
Byers and the satisfa ctory results of their
treatment"
