V.-ThG Causes Of Deafness.

Deafness, except in those rare cases
wherein it is due to accident. is caused
by disease affecting the throat.
Pharyngitis. Laryngitis. Rhinitis.
Tonsilitis, Bronchitis and ali the many
diseases affecting the membrane OF thu
throat may result in deafness.
Scarlet Fever. Diphtheria, Typhoid
Fever produce Inflammation of the
throat. which often extends to the ear
tubes and causes Deafness.
Measles. Chicken-pox and Smallpox
and other zymotic diseases, producing
in the same manner Inflammation of tn >
throat. may result in Deafness.
Any disease affecting the throat may
produce Deafness. More than so per
cent of the cases of Deafness are the
direct result of diseases affecting the
throat.
Deafness is also caused by the intro
duction of irritating medicines. by ex-
perimental surgery, consisting of prob
ing, cutting. and in some cases by the
administration of wrong internal medi-
cines in heavy doses. such as quinine
and salicylic acid.
Curing disease in the throat will not
relieve Deafness that has resulted from
the disease.
It is necessary to use an entirely diff
ferent treatment; one that will reach
the seat of the Inflammation in the ear
tubes themselves.
Upon this is based the marvel of the
restoration of hearing by the discovery.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-02-27
VII From the Throat to the Ear.

Drs. Shores discovered the cure of
deafness because of the vast number of
threats that they treated
How is it that a throat doctor discov-
cred the cure for deafness?
What has the throat got to do with
the ear?
When you've grasped this secret you
will understand the whole subject OF
deafness and its cure.
1t isn't the outer ear channel that
figures in deafness.
It's the inner one. the channel from
the throat to the ear drum-the Eus-
tachian canal
That's the secret of the trouble in SO
out of 100 cases of deafness.
Bear this in mind.
If you are suffering from head noises;
if you are occasionally hard of hearing;
if you are partially deaf; if you are
stone deaf, or if you are a deaf mute.
just grasp this subject with all the
force of your intelligence, and relief
and the full recovery of your hearing
are in your own hands.
For,
Anything that interferes with the free
passage of air from the throat to the
ear drum causes noises in the head,
impairment of hearing and deafness.
1t is from the throat that the citadel
of the hearing is taken
The mucous membrane lining of the
throat lines also the passages to the
ears-the Eustachian tubes.
When disease sets up in the throat, it
is likely to extend into the Eustachian
tubes.
The same conditions that cause swell
ing or Inflammation. or the secretion Of
thick and heavy mucus in the throat,
cause the same effects in the ear tIbes.
When swelling occurs the membrane
in the ear tubes comes together. and
air cannot pass through to the drum.
When mucus secretes in the air tubes
it is not expelled. 1t lodges there and
plugs up the canal.
In either event your hearing
is checked.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-02-27
III.-What Is the Ear I?

The ear TO many people is simply the
outer appendage attached like a shell
to each side of the head.
But this outer appendage is merely
a device to arrest sound waves and
protect the ear channel running into
the head, into which sound is directed
The actual ear is a mechanical ar
rangement inside the head
Two tubes or air passages unite with
this mechanism.
One is from the outer ear, into which
you can insert the tip of your little
finger.
The other is from the upper and back
part Of the throat, and is called the
tube of Eustachias, or Eustachian tube.
curtain of living tissue stretched
tightly. and called the ear drums, sep
arates these two passageways.
The mechanism consists of the ear
drum. the bones connected Herewith.
and the nerves that run from the drum
to the brain.
If you stick your fingers in your ears
or otherwise shut out the free passage
of air in the outer ways to the ear
drum, you cannot hear.
If you choke up the inner or Eustach-
ian passages to the ears, you cannot
hear
Why?
Because there must be an equal aid
pressure on each side of the membran-
Gus curtain or ear drum to make it vi
brate, and thus telegraph sound to the
brain along the nerve-wires.
The ear drum is like any other drum.
If it has free air pressure on both
sides a conclusion upon it's surface will
cause a resonant sound.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-02-27
IV.-NOt Mechanics, but Medication.

There are two ways of freeing a gas
pipe choked with frozen earth.
One is to run an iron rod through it.
This makes a small channel and al
lows a diminished quantity of gas to
flow through.
The other is to pass the vapor of al
cohol into the pipe.
The vapor strikes the frozen earth,
softens and melts first one bit and then
another, until the whole frozen mass
crumbles by degrees into fine pow
der, and the pipe is free again.
Where force is used to free a frozen
pipe a damaged pipe is the result.
Where an alcohol vapor is used to
free a pipe, no damage is done.
1t is the same with deafness.
Where force is used to open the closed
ear channels, damage is done.
What follows?
Intense pain
Inflammation.
Earache-
Abcesses.
Permanent injury.
Where medicated vapor is used no
harm results.
BY it's use the obstruction is removed
a little at a time until it is all absorbed
or carried away.
The diseased surfaces are healed.
The disease is driven out.

ALMOST DROWNED.
OLD MRS. FoURVALLER FALLS
INTO JORDAN CANAL.
Rescued By MI. Newman-Taken to
the County Tnirmary, Where She
Is Being Cared For.

Yesterday morning about 2:30 o'clock
Mr.. Newman, who lives at So Ninth
East street, was startled by hearing
screams coming from some place near
his house He ran out to see what
was the matter and found that the
cries came from the direction of the
canal. which runs a short distance from
the house. Running over to the place
he found an old woman struggling
about in the icy water of the canal
He waded into the water and pulled
the woman from the canal. She was
about 70 years of age, and was in a
very precarious condition when ne car
ried her to his house. She was half
drowned, and almost frozen, but after
careful attention she was soon in a
cheerful condition. II was learned that
she lived near the place, and had gone
out to see a neighbor early in the even
ing. In the darkness she lost her way
and wandered about until she accident
ally fell into the canal.
+ She gave her name as Mrs. II. Four
waller. and said that she was living
all alone. She was very poor and had
a hard time to keep body and soul to-
gether. Mrs. Whipple of the county
nfirmary was notified, and went imme
diately to the house Mrs. Fourvaller
was then removed to the infirmary,
where she will be taken care of. When
seen last evening she was feeling very
cheerful, and thanked Mrs. Whipple
devoutly for taking her in. She
seemed to be suffering none from the
ducking she had received.

VI.-NOisGS in the Head.

If you have grasped the subject so far
a word will explain head noises.
Noises in the head are the forerunners
of deafness.
Before you noticed that you were get
ting hard of hearing you were annoyed
by head noises.
They sounded like:
Low breathing,
Escaping gas,
Insects singing,
The murmur of brook.
The waves of the sea,
Niagara Falls,
Steam whistles,
Ringing of bells.
Loud talking,
Ripping and kissing,
Loud explosions,
Bombs and rockets,
Cannon firing.
When the Eustachian tubes begin to
block up, air is imprisoned between the
clos Of the air passage and the ear
drum.
The movement of this air either
through the obstruction or between the
obstruction and the drum causes these
noises.
Why are they so loud?
Go into a cavern; block uD the en-
trance behind you; shout loudly
The shout deafens you with its force
The entire cavern echoes and re-
echoes.
1t comes back to you multiplied and
confused in a mass of discordant
sounds.
This is what occurs in the Eustachian
tubes when disease forms an obstruc-
ton in them.
Head noises either indicate a condi-
ton of impaired hearing. or that the
hearing is going to fail.
Their disappearance indicates the
passing away of the condition that
caused the deafness.
Whenever the treatment has gained
an influence over head noises. it is
certain sign that restoration of hear
ing will soon take place.

VIII.-4hG Time It Takes to CUpR.

Every case OF deafness caused by dis
ease in the Eustachain tubes can be
cured by Drs. Shores treatment.
That includes over 50 per cent of all
cases of deafness
The time it takes to cure depends on
three things:
First-HIow much of the Eustachain
tubes is diseased and closed 10.
Second-How long the deafness has
lasted.
Third-How faithfully the treatment
is carried out.
For some cases the disease causing
deafness has not passed far into the tube
and is soon cured.
In cases of long standing more of the
tubes are affected and it takes a longer
time to cure.
The hearing is rarely restored immedi-
ately or a little at a time.
\ patient may not see any progress for
a long time.
When the cure comes it comes suddenly.
The process of absorbing or dissolving
the obstruction has been completed. tho
last of It disappears and. there being a
free passage OF air to the drum, hearing
is restored.
The oniv way a deaf person can fail
TO be cured by Drs. Shores treatment is to
stop taking the treatment before the
cure is effected.
