A reporter recently called at this famous
seat of learning and was shown into the room
of the President, Prof. Alvin p. Barnaby.
When last seen by the reporter Prof Barn
ably was in delicate health. To-day he was
apparently in the best of health. In re-
Spouse to an inquiry the professor said:
'.Oh, yes / am much better than for some
time. l am now in perfect health; but my
recovery was brought about in rather a
peculiar way"
Tell me about it" said the reporter
well, to begin at the beginning said
the professor, Il studied too hard when at
school, endeavorlng to educate myself for
the professions. After completing the COM
mon course L came here, and graduated from
the theological course. l entered the min
istry, and accepted the charge of a United
Brethren Church at a small place in Kent
County, Mich Being of an ambitious ma
ture, l applied myself diligently to my work
and studies. In time L noticed that my
health was failing. My trouble was indiges-
ton, and this with other troubles brought
on nervousness.
My physician prescribed for me for some
time, and advised me to take change of
climate. | did as requested and was some
improved. Soon after l came here as pro-
fessor in physics and chemistry, and later
was financial agent of this college The
change agreed with me, and for awhile my
health was better, but my duties were heavy,
and again | found my trouble returning.
This time it was more severe and in the
winter L became completely FRUSTRATED. L
tried various medicines and different physi-
clans. Finally was. able to return to my
duties. Last spring L was elected president
of the college. Again l had considerable
work, and the trouble, which had not been
entirely cured, began to affect me, and
last fall [ collapsed. l had different doctors,
but none did me any good. Professor Bow
man, who is professor of natural science, told
me of his experience with DR.. Williams Pinl;
Pills for Pale People, and urged me to give
them trial, because they had benefited
him'in similar case, and l concluded to try
them.
The first box helped me, and the second
gave great relief, such as l had never expert
enced from the treatment of any physician.
After using six boxes of the medicine | was
entirely cured To-day l am perfectly well:
| / feel better and stronger than for years. I
certainly recommend this medicine
To allay all doubt Prof Barnaby cheer

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

iiy local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
caused by an inflamed condition OF the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have runlbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t Is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forevers
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.
