How [ Got My Hearing

By GEORGE II. WILSON

watch tick when held close against my
ear. The Deafness came on by degrees and
first / hardly noticed II.
As il grew l noticed my friends falling
away from me. Then my business chances
began fading ont. 1t was too much trouble
to talk 10 a Deaf man.

own future, | knew had the Brains to sue
coed, if l could only get over that terrible
curse of Deafness. II seemed to shut me
out from all my Opportunities.
My Deafness set me worrying and think
ing hard for a means of Cure.
For nearly two years haunted the Offices
of Ear-DoCtorS. Then l tried about every
Quack remedy, and my money melted as fast
as my chances for making more vanished.
The end OF it came at last, and had to work
out my own cure.
That was nv salvationl First, 1 read
nearly every book printed about the ear
Then made model OF the krayIRg part OF
the Ear. Then l tried all kinds of expert

night l worked On my experiments, with
feverish hope and anxiety. for the result

their presence.

Says She Is in Excellent Health and
Feels as Vigorous as a Girl. Due
to the Use of Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey.

Mrs Phebe Amelia Pratt widow Of Will
lam Pratt, yesterday celebrated her nine
tieth birthday anniversary at her home, lu6
Broadway, Chelsea. A reception was held
from two to six, during which the old lady
received numerous callers G. I was the recip-
lent of many presents. She was assisted in
receiving by Mr. and Mrs. George Pratt, Of
Stoughton; Mr.. and Mrs Charles II. Pratt,
of Chelsea MS. Eugene Pratt two Of her
grandchildren, Chester and William Pratt,
Of Chelsea, and Ida and Mabel Pratt, Of
Stoughton.
The reception was planned by her relatives
and the members OF the First Baptist Church
Of Chelsea, Of which she is a member.
During the summer Mrs. Pratt wrote;-
"Gentlemen:-l am now almost 81 years Of
age and am in excellent health owing to the
use Of DufTy's Malt WhisSey Catarrh Of
the throat troubled me for four years, and
tried many remedies, without any benefit,
until friend induced me to try Duffy's
Malt Whiskey.
Ny general condition was very poor also
until used Duhy's, but I am very glad TO
state that since using this grand medicine
the catarrh has left me, my general health is
better than it has been for years, and | know
that it has prolonged my hfe. l most GER
tainly would not be without it."
This letter of Mrs Pratt was taken at
random from among thousands received from
men and women who gratefully thank
Duhy's Pure Malt Whiskey for their won
derful freedom from disease and for their
marvellous old age. More are published in a
booklet whichyou may have free by writing.
Dufys Pure Malt Whiskey is a gentle,
soothing, tonic-stimulant, which replaces the
weakened, diseased tissues, tones up the
nerves, strengthens the heart, makes diges-
tion and nutrition perfect 1t purifes the
blood and regulates the circulation so that
every organ is made TO do its work perfectly
and fully, keeping the whole system in Wig
orous health and lengthening the days far
beyond the century. Every testimonial is
published in good faith and guaranteed.
