New Methods Cure.

DR.. Garfield says: For cons of
ages it has been handed down to pos
terity that persons deaf from heritage,
from sickness, or other causes, would
remain deaf. But science and study
of the human anatomy, particularly
that of the head and nervous system,
have developed methods for restoring
hearing to the afflicted.
The methods [ am using have re-
suited from the most thorough search
of eminent teachers at the Chicago Eye
and Ear College and Hospital and the
New York Eye and Ear Infrmary.
They are curing the deaf at these
institutions because the means now
employed have the rational, legitimate
and unfailing result of restoring the
lost sense of hearing. Thousands of
people who from age or disease were
deprived of their hearing have been
entirely cured, their hearing made as
as good as in youth, and it is not be-
You'd the province Of truth to state that
so per cent. of the deaf can be relieved
at one treatment and entirely cured in
from one to four weeks by the new
methods l am using"
