sUCCUMBs TO MAGNETISM.

MIR. TEMPLE AND MR. WEST CURED OF
CATARRHAL DEAFNESS IN A SHORT
TINE.
Every person whe is afflicted with
deafness feels, in sense, that he is
alone even in the presence, of his friends,
and is conscious that he or she always
appears to disadvantage. For some I'M
explained reason they are unwilling
that those around them should know to
what extent their disease has reached ;
therefore they are apt to answer ques-
tiOns which they have rot heard, and
Ofttimes make bad blunders THIS
habit becomes so strong they will even
do 80 when being examined by a physi-
clan for deafness. One said: II don't
know why do this, but can't help it. !"
Reader, if you have catarrh you are
very liable to catarrhal deafness: you
will soon be just this way. Many think
because they have tried the ordinary
remedies for these diseases without help
that their case is incurable. So thought
Mr.. Temple, who has charge of the
water-works at Sandy Hill, and Mr..
West of GleDs Falls, but they both con-
suited one OF the physicians from Troy
MAGNETIC INSTITUTE, and both found
that at last they had found a method
which would cure catarrhal deafness.
Mr.. Temple was cured in month. If
you have catarrh, don't wait uatil it af-
fects the ears: Catarrh affects almost
every organ of the body, but especially
is it liable to destroy the seuse Of smell
and hearing. Is it not wonder that
more attention is not paid to a disease
which so often destroys two of the seven
senses, and is liable to undermine the
general health and produce even death.
If you are suffering from catarrh or ca
tarrbal deafness go at once to the Troy
Magnetic Institute, No. 6 Union Place,
Broadway. They treat all forms of
chronic disease and can be consulted
free from 0 a. m. to . p. m. daily, ex-
cept Sunday.

that other morning which shall surely
GENE. He is faithful who comforts sor-
rowing hearts with words of undying
hope. II am the resurrection and the
life; he that believeth in Me, though he
were dead yet shall be live" 1t was a
beautiful day for many friends to say a
loving farwell to one who will never be
forgotten, for the memory of the just
and true, is blessed. This is only a
shadow of wreath of lilies" but l
lay it gratefully and tenderly upon his
