THE HUMAN EAR.
A Notable Lecture on the Sense q
Hearing by DIR. Hartman.

"A NOttDie Lecture ON the SenSe Of
Hearing by DIR. Hartman.
During the course of one of DIR. Hart
mans latest lectures at the Surgical
hotel, he said: "Good hearing is essen
tial to health and safety. A continual
roaring, cracking and buzzing in the
head, which is always produced by par
tial loss of hearing, is a ~constont ner-
vous irritation which will gradually un-
dermine the strength. Besides this,
ezen a slight loss of hearing renders
anyone more liable to accident, many
persons being killed everyyear because
of partial deafness. Many people think
that a gradual loss of the sense O fhear-
ing is inevitable, and that every one
must submit to it sooner or later.
Hence they make no attempt to find a
cure. This is agreat mistake. Loss of
hearing, either in old OF young people,
is nearly always due to chronic catarrh
of the head or middle ear"
Catarrhal deafness is due to catarrh
OF tne tnroaC passing up through the
Eustacian tubes to the middle ear. The
catarrh in rare cases originstes in and
remains confined to the middle ear.
The symptoms are: roaring, cracking,
buzzing in the ear, with gradually in
creasing% difficulty in hearing. If not
not cured the hearing will be entirely
destroyed. When the case has not al
ready gone too far besore lhe treatment
is begun Pe-ru-na will sure every case.
1t is only after catarrh has. destroyed
portions of the middle ear that Peru
ma fails to cure All sach cases should
write DIR. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio,
for further advice.
A book on La grippe, coughs, colds,
catarrh, etc., will be sent free to any
address by the Peru ma Drug Manu-
featuring Company of Columbus. Ohio.

THAT PENSION PErIT1oN.


Old Soldiers Express Themselves ON Thi
and Other Questions.
SOLDIERS HONE, s. D, Jan. IA. 1895.
MI. EDITOR:
We see by publication in the Hill
City Tin Miner and other papers that
some officious populist was circulating
a petition in the. home asking the legis.
lature to enact a law by which the
soldiers home board could take charge
of the members pension and turn it in
to support the home. In order that
the public may be advised as to the
truth in this matter we send you Il
complete copy of the petition or
petitions that have circulated and have
been signed in each instance by a
majority of the members present inthe
home. Following is a copy of the
petition:
SOLDIERS HOME, S. D., Jan. 8, 1895.
To the Hon. Senate and House of
Representatives of the state of South
Dakota:
We, the members of the soldiers
home, send you greeting with this
petition:
Inasmuch as there is a maudlin
sentiment with some of the managers
of the soldiers home that it would be
right to have charge, or guardianship,
of members pension whilea member of
the home; and as we believe there is an
effort being made to induce the present
legislature to enact a law giving the
managing board of the home control
of each and every members pension,
during membership with the home.
We who r attacked by this sentiment
and feel the injustice of such sweeping
legislation, do most earnestly protest
and petition your honorable body,
praying that in all your legislation
touching the interest of the home, you
guard and protect the possession of all
pensions coming to the honorable
members of the home. And we believe
that the home board should have
charge of the members pension only
when such member has used his said
pension in u way to abuse himself. the
home and others.
Believing your jealous integrity will
ever be to guard the old soldiers in
their best interests. we shall ever pray.
SIGNED BY FoRTY-THREE MEMBERS.
Please give us space in your columns
for u expression by petition to the
legislature on the question of result
mission. The impression has gained
some endorsement with some people
that the men in the soldiers home are
all more or less afflicted with the drink
habit.
This petition signed by 70 good sub
stantial men ought to be good evidence
that there is a very large element of
the soldiers home who are in favor of
prohibition not only in the home but
in the state as we'll. Following is the
petition:
To the Honorable Senate and House of
Representatives. of the State of
South Dakota:
We, the the members of the soldiers
home, and other soldiers who served to
preserve this Union, send greeting:
Praying that you will use all honorable
means in your power as legislators to
suppress end defeat any effort on the
part of the present legislature to re-
submit the constitutional Prohibition
liquor law now in force in this state.
Signed by T. L. Smith and Al others;
republicans, democrats and populists.
