Science and Common SENSE Perform These
Cnrcs-Dr. Lansing Makes All Points
Clear to Ills Patients Methods That
Have Cured Others VIII Also Cure You.
Il understand it all, DOCTOR said an
enthusiastic patient to Dr.. L nsing this
week. "Your articles have made it
perfectly clear to my mind why So many
other physicians utterly failed To cure
me. and why you accomplished the
much desired result So easily. Your
principle is right and must succeed.
Why. they put some kind OF an instlu-
ment or probe up into the tubes Of my
ears. causing me intense agony. Then
they injected an irritating yapor;

abscess formed, pus discharged, and |

intelligent treatment to remove the
cause of my deafness, which was
eatarrh.2
What miserable bungling is this that
diseraces the medical profession and de
stroycs all faith in the efficacy OF medi-
cineso Here was doctor who knew
what the trouble was. He knew there
was catarrh, that it had gone 10 the
Eustachian tubes and partially blocked
them, and that dullness of hearing had
resulted. but he did not have sense
enough To think of removing the cause.
He thought that if lie could open those
tubes the patient could heal and he
passed his murderous cathetcr through
them. with the result stated by the
patient. Dr. Lansing cured the eatarrh
which had caused the CLOSING and the
tubes assumed their natural condition
and perfect hearing VA restored,

Bradstreets says: While there is no
general increase in business, there are
several encouraging featm es, the first
being the advance in the price of flour,
wheat, corn, oats, pork and sugar, with
that for steel billets and beams and
other iron steel products. The advance
in wheat continued so much longer than
was expected that traders are again dis
GUESSING the likelihood of this being the
beginning of long advance for cereals
Brighter and more seasonable weather
in the east and needed rains in Missouri,
Kansas and Nebraska tended to stimu-
late the belated demand for general mcr-
chandisc. Renewed activity is shown
by lumber now that the building season
is opeu, and other structural materials.
The demand for wool is smaller and has
almost disappeared. Trade in the raw
staple is at standstil. Dry goods
continue depressed. Leather is lower.
Large orders for shoes have been placed
because of lower quotations. The list
of notable price reactions includes those
for wool and petroleum.
