catarrh and give vent to the imprisoned

1t is difficult to get a local remedy into
the eustachian tubes; therefore, such
treatment Is practically not to be con-
sidered. How can we get an ointment,
powder, spray or even a vapor where air
won't go? If air circulated in these parts
freely one wouldn't have head noises and
deafness. The only way to successfully
treat catarrh of the eustachian tubes is
with an internal remedy that through
the blood will search out and cure
catarrh In any nook or corner of the
body. That Stuart's Catarrh Tablets do
this is ahundantly attested by thousands
who have no possible interest In their
sale, people who have experienced benefit
from their use and believe others should
know of the merits of the remedy.

Poisonous Mineral In Flour.

The Illinois State Pure Food Commits

mills located in as many different states
and found barytes, poisonous mineral
mined in Tennessee, Missouri and North
Carolina in the flour of each of them. The
commission traced the main factory for
crushing this mineral to Lynchburg, Va,
and discovered that s3,0000O0 pounds of it
was used last year for adulterating
flour. Are you sure the flour you are
using does not contain this poisonous
mineral? 1t is just as white and fine as
flour, and cannot be detected except by
chemical analysis As you value the

The ear consists of three parts; the ex-
ternal ear; the tympanum or middle ear;
and the labyrinth or internal ear
BY the external ear we mean the pin
ma or tissue that projects on each side
of the head to assist to gather sound
waves and the auditory canal or tube
through which they are conducted to the
ear drum.
The ear drum is the membranous par
tition that separates the external from
the middle ear.
The middle ear or "tympanum'' starts
from the inner side of the ear drum and
extends to the internal ear. The middle
ear contains three movable bones. the
malleus" or hammer. the 'incus or
anvil, the SHAPES or stirrup, which form
chain across the middle ear and con-
meet with the internal ear. The "eusta-
chan tube leads from the pharynx or
back part of the throat upwards to the
middle ear allowing air to enter and used
sounds to escape from that cavity
The internal ear or Labyrinth consists
of the ''Vestibule," the 'semi-circular
canals the "cochea," and filaments of
the auditory nerve.
Sound is carried through the ear in the
form of waves. These waves of sound are
gathered by the external ear and pass
through the auditory canal, striking the
ear drum which vibrates. These vibrations
pass along the chain of movable bones
through the middle ear to the internal
ear, where they are taken up by the
filaments of the auditory nerve and car
ried to the brain. So we really hear with
the brain, the ear only gathers and trans
mits the sound.
After sound vibrations have reached
the brain they like the water which has
passed a mill wheel, should get out of the
way and make room for more. This they
should do through the escape pipe or
"eustachian tube" If water below the
mill be backed up on the wheel 1t
ceases to perform its function properly.
If used sound waves be blocked and i'm
prisoned they vibrate back and forth
through the caverns of the ear, being
broken and subdivided until they have
little meaning, are in fact but a con-
fused comingling of fractional sounds
