Judge Crockett
Cured of Deafness

All readers Of this paper are by this
time familiar with the name Of DR..
Darrin, and they have no doubt read
with interest accounts of many re-
markable cures this celebrated physi-
clan has performed We suspect that
some have read the testimonials Of
grateful patients with some suspicious
as to their authenticity therefore, we
are gratified TO be able to present a
testimonial that must put at rest every
possible doubt. There is probably not
a better known man in Josephine coun.
ty than Judge Crockett who was coun-
ty Judge for years He has spent a
life time among the people Of that Sec
ton. and his reputation is such that
none will question his truthfulness.
He has received relief at the hands
of the great benefactor Dr. Darrln,
at Willamette Hotel, and desires to
inform all the afflicted that they may
have the same opportunity Judge
Crocketts testimonial is given below.

few years was supposed to be incur

pronounced 1t local disease. and pre-.
scribed local remedies, and, by con.
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment pronounced il incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease. and, therefore.
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by

the only constitutional cure on the
