CAUSE OF DEAFNESS.
The Most Common Cause Only Re-
Gently Discovered.

It has been stated on good medical
authority that nine-tenths of cases of
deafness are caused from catarrh or
from sore throat trouble.
The little tube which leads to the ear
from the throat is lined with a sort OF
velvety structure called mucous MEM
brane. This membrane is simply a con-
tinuation of the mucous membrane lin
ing the throat. When disease of any
sort attacks the mucous membrane of
the throat it is very liable to extend
into the Eustachian tube and up into
the ear
The history of nearly all cases of
deafness is like this: a cold is contract
the throat becomes sore and inf1amed,
which is aggravated by particles of dust
and germs from the air. This condition
causes the disease to spread into the
tube that leads to the ear.
1t seems a little far fetched to say
that most cases of deafness are caused
from catarrh but it is certainly true,
and any one who has had a severe ca
tarrhal cold must have noticed how the
hearing was affected while the cold
lasted.
With catarrh sufferers this impair
ment of hearing becomes chronic and
grows worse the longer the catarrh is
neglected
the regular use of an excellent new
preparation called Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, composed of antiseptic RENE
dies which act both on the mucous
membranes but principally and most
effectually on the blood, eliminating the
catarrhal poison from the system.
People whose hearing is defective
may think it a little remarka BILE that a
simple and harmless tablet would very
often remove all traces of deafness, but
when it is remembered that catarrh
causes the deafness and that the
tarrh is easily cured by the regular use
of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets there is no
mystery about it,
If you are subject to nasal catarrh
catarrh of throat. bronchial tubes or
catarrh of stomach and liver the safest
and most effective treatment is the new
catarrh specific, Stuarts Catarrh Tab
lets, sold by all druggists at so cts. for
full sized package.

Inquiries Answered.

Mrs M A B. writes: How stiff should
one make cereal mushes? My children do
not like them too stiff.
CEREAL MUSH-
The mush should be thick enough to
oblige the child to chew it; otherwise It
will be swallowed without being mixed
with the saliva and less readily digested
When fruit, like sliced, ripe bananas
chopped dates or stewed prunes are add
ed to the cereal it may be made thinner.
for the child will retain it in it's mouth
while chewing the fruit.
