New Conception of Death

Few, indeed, are the men and wom-
en- of full age-say 25-who have not
yet contracted the malady that will
kill them, according to that distin-
guished scientist and physician, DR..
Felix Regnault. Normally, as contem-
porary investigators are beginning to
find out, it takes 20 years for a fatal
malady to kill a patient. 1t may take
80 years. The popular impression is
that a man may die suddenly OF that
he may require only a year to die in
or six months. To be sure, a man
may sR Killed 81 a child may die In a
few months at the age Of one year.
But ordinarily speaking, all deaths
are very slow, indeed, and about 95
per cent. of civilized adults are now
STRICKEN with a fatal disease. They
do not know It. They may not suffer
from II. In due time they will have
their Eases diagnosed as cancer, or
as tuberculosis or diabetes or what
not. But so inveterate are current
misconceptions Of the nature Of death
that the origin Of the fatal malady--

May Allyn stepped from the eleva-

walked through the rotunda, looking
to right and left among the massive

screened by the dropping palms. There
were few persons in sight, a semi-in-

gentleman reading a newspaper, and
now and then a sightseer with up

OF the guests were over on the beach,

were up the lake boating or fishing,
and q few others out on the ocean
pier or wandering among the many
trails. May went nearly across the
rotunda before she found the object
of her search, a woman in a retired
corner reading a novel.

claimed rebukingly; and reading that

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the dis
eased portion Of the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed condition OF the

tube is inHamed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out Of ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing
