YOUNG WOMAN's ODD TASTE
Miss Mabel Parrish Likes to Be Around
Dead Bodies.

81 have always had desire to be among
dead people. can remem ber, when 1 was
little girl, would beg my mother to
take me to funerals. When l grew older,
! would go to the house where one was ly-
ing dead and offer to lay the body out
My spare time was spent at the morgues
and undertaking establishments, and l
made my friends among the dead. When
/ was a nurse in the Detroit sanitarium, l
would always lay out my patients when
they died.
Thus spoke Miss Mabel Parrish, an at
tractive young woman of San Antonio,
Tex, who has just taken her diploma at
the Chicago College of Embalming Her
work in Chicago was mainly at the county
morgue, and whenever body was brought
in she was glad of the opportunity to prac-
tice on it, whether it was in the middle of
the night or at any other hour. Her cOur-
age and nerve are unlimited, and, a most
remarkable thing, she has lost none of
her womanly bearing or natural tender
ness of heart.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarTh, which is nothing but inhamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

grain TO digest better, and this makes
the horse feel frisky and able to do his
