And those who have tried it find it

THE HUMAN EAR.
4 Notable Lecture on the Sense Of Hear.
ing by DR.. Hartman.

During the course of one of DR..
Hartman'S latest lectures at the Sur
9ical Hotel, he said: ''Good hearing
is essential to health and safety. A
Continual roaring, cracking and buzz
ing in the head, which is ALWAYS pro-
duCed by partial loss of hearing, is
constant nervous irritation which will
gradually undermine the strength.
Besides this, even a slight loss Of
hearing reLderS any one more liable
to accident, many persons being killed
every year because of partial deaf
ness. Many people think that grad
ual loss Of the sense of hearing is
inevitable, and that every one must
submit to it sooner or later. Hence
they make no attempt to find a
cure. This is a great mistake. Loss
Of hearing, either in the old or young
people, is nearly always due to chronic
catarrh of the head or middle ear"
Catarrhal deafness is due to catarah
of the throat passing up through the
EuStachian tubes of the middle ear.
The Catarrh in rare cases originates in
and remains confined to the middle
ear The symptoms are: Roaring,
cracking, buzzing in the ear, with
gradually increasing difficulty in hear
ing. IfnOt cured the hearing will be
entirely destroyed. When the case
has not already gone too far before the
treatment is begun Pe-ru-na will cure
every case. 1t is only after catarrh
has destroyed portions of the middle
ear that Pe-ru-na fails to cure. All
such cases should write DR.. Hartman,
Columbus, Ohio, for further advice.
A book on la grippe, coughs, colds,
CataTrh, etc, will be sent free to any
address by The Pe-ru-na Drug Manu-
featuring Company of Columbus, Ohio.

over a period Of a year You see some

been transferred from this city to
other points. Besides this the super
