Catarrh of Ears.

Mrs. G. W. Heard, Hampstead, Texas,
writes in regard to her son Carl: "My
sons ears had been affected since he was
a baby. He seemed to have risings in
his head. He would be very fretful for
several days, then his ears would run pro-
fusely what appeared to be corruption.
"The last year 1 thought he had almost
lost his hearing and had a local physi-
clan treating him for about six weeks.
