Deafness Cannot be Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,

imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed de afnessis the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken

are caused by eatarrh, which is moth

A SLIGHT MISTAKE.
The Eyes sometimes Deceive.

There are a number Of experiences in
real life from which interesting facts
can be gathered. The treasurer of a
large manufacturing concern, whose
name need not be given for the purpose
of this article, has been compelled to
give up drinking coffee on account of
its effect upon his stomach and nervous
system.
1t was suggested that he try the
health coffee, Postum Cereal" as
that is made of the healthful grams
and takes the place of coffee very
nicely.
He rather felt that it was foolish
step, to undertake to use any article
with the expectation that it would take
the place of coffee, which his family
used of the best grade of Mocha and
Java mixed. However, package was
ordered for the house, and the next
morning at breakfast the coffee pot
came on as usual; when the beverage
was poured out and served to him he
told the servant that he had ordered
some Postum, a new drink, and did not
care for the coffee.
A laugh went round the table, and
he declined to believe that the rich
LIQUID with the aroma and fragrance
that reached his nostrils was the health
coffee. Investigation, however, con-
vinced him of the fact, and its use day
by day, without the old sick feeling
clinches the argument.
Postum is made by the Postum
Cereal Co., (Lim.) Of Battle Greek
Mich, and has a winning way of its
own: when once introduced into the
family it answers every purpose OF the
finest coffee without the attendant
aches and ills. Being composed
kstrictly and wholly Of the pure cereals
there is no question or argument Of
possible doubt regarding the healthfu
and nourishing properties, for children
as we'll as adults.
