CURE FOR SNORING.

An effectual cure for snoring is
said TO be obtained by taking olive
oil and mustard-siX drops of the
former to g pinch of the later-just
before going TO bed. The function of
the oil is that of /; lubricant to the
larynx, while the mustard acts as a
counter-irritant. The cure is said to
nave been discovered by the late DR..
O'Dowd of Kilkenny, Ireland, and
has proved so effectual that no native
of that country ever snores. The
Model Bakery recommends it's whole
wheat bread for snoring. Keep the
mouth full of bread and how can you
snore? Our wagons sell it and will
stop at your door, or send to Model
Bakery, 106 South Howard st.

resided near the Old Forge Tuesday

THE CAUSES AND
CURE OF DEAFNESS.

1t is from the throat that the cita-
del 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 i'll the throat
it is likely to extend into the Eu
stachian tubes.
The same condition that causes
swelling or inflammation, or the Sc
cretion of thick and heavy mucus in
the throat, causes the same effect in
the ear tubes.
Pharyngitfs, Laryngitis, Rhinitis,
Tonsilitis, Bronchitis and all the
many diseases affecting the men,
brane of the 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, chickenpoX and smallpox
and other zymotic diseases, produc-
ing in the same manner inf1amma-
tion of the throat, may result in
deafness.
Any disease affecting the throat
may produce deafness. More than
80 per cent of the cases of deafness
are the direct result of diseases af-
fecting the throat.
Curing disease in the throat will
not relieve deafness that has re-
suited from the disease.
| 1t is necessary to use an entirely
different treatment; one that will
reach the seat of the Inflammation
in the ear tubes themselves.
| Head noises either Indicate "a con-
dition of impaired hearing or that
the ilearing is going to fail.
Whenever the treatment has gain
ed an influence over head noises it is
a certain sign that restoration of
hearing will soon take place.
Nearly every case of deafness
caused by disease in the Eustachian
tubes can be cured by the Ramsey

drum be free and open, and second,
that the Eustachian tube leading
from the throat to the inner side Of
the ear drum, be open and healthy.
Now, nearly all cases of ringing
noises are due to some interference
with this tube, the Eustachian tube.
which leads from the throat to the
inner side of the ear drum, and any
stoppage or closing up, or any swell
ing or disease of any sort that re-
suits in partial or complete closing
of this tube will cause ringing noises

DEAFNESS CURED.

For many years have been af-
fiicted with bronchitis and nasal
catarrh. The latter, which finally
went to my ear, and causing me
much pain, left me deaf. Becoming
alarmed over my condition I sought
medical aid. A friend advised
me to try DR.. Ramsey, catarrh
specialist, of this city. 1 did so, and
after taking his treatment for two
months, my hearing was completely
restored and the catarrh and bron-
chitis much relieved. 1 am conf
dent that 1 should have been perma-
nently cured of both maladies had L
continued treatment. / can heartily
recommend DIR. Ramsey to all suf-
ferers of this dreaded disease.

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
powder and the pipe is free again.
When force is used to free frozen
pipe damaged pipe is the result.
Where an alcohol vapor is used to
free pipe no damage is done.
1t is the same with Deafness.
Where force is used to open the

Where proper treatment is used no
harm results. The obstruction is re-

eased surfaces are healed. The dis

ANIMAL ACTORS.
Prof. Gentry's Famous Dog and
Pony Sho,0 Attracts a Big
Cro,od-AU Satisfied.

Owing to the delay in the trains yes
terday, frof. Gentry's famous show of
trained animals, which was billed for
two exhibitions In this city, was com
pelled to annul the afternoon perform
snce and consequently there was only
the evening exhibition.
1t is certainly worth anyone's while to
witness the performance Of these dnmb
animals. Prof. Gentry has trained
them to do everything but talk, and
even that they do in the sign language.
The large canvass covered an immense
crowd OF people who thoroughly enjoyed
every feature of the program. The Cen
try exhibition has been greatly enlargen
and bettered since it was seen here last
year, many new and original feats have
been trained during the past winter.
One Of the new attractions this year,
is pinto" the tiniest living elephant in
captivity. Prof. Gentry has not owned
Pinto great while, in fact the little
fellow has not been in this country a
year yet, having been delivered to Prof.
Gentry by the Adams Express company,
from Bombay. India, on Wednesday.
September 14th, 1898. Pinto weighs
a trifle over $50 pounds and cost his
present owner something like five dollars
a pound.
