Cured by the Philadelphia Ear Mas.
seur--Free Demonstration

Mr.. J. l.. Nohner representing the
Philadelphia Ear Masseur apparatus
for the treatment and cure of deaf
ness, head noises and ear diseases
as heretofore announced, will be at
Minot, Leland Hotel, Thursday, May
9th, and will demo ,s,rate absolute
ly free and without cost to all peo-
pie who are suffering with any form
of ear diseases that they can be
cured.
No matter how long you have been
deaf, or who you have treated with
nor what medicine you have taken
this is the appliance that will cure
you. 1t is not an instrument that you
are required to wear, all you have
to do is to use the instrument night
and morning about five minutes each
time, and cure will result.
The manufacturers of this instru-
ment have heretofore sold them only
to physicians, inasmuch as there are
so many people who can not reach a
specialist without great expense and
loss Of time, the company has within
the last few months sold them by re-
quest to patients direct. This is the
quickest and best possible cure of all
selected diseases of the ear.
During the time that Mr.. Nohner is
in Minot his demonstration will be
absolutely free. He does not repre-
sent himself as physician to treat
these diseases in any way,
but will demonstrate to you the
use of this instrument which
is sufficient within itself to con-
vince you of it's wonderful cur
alive powers. They can secure these
masseurs and treat themselves at
home. This demonstration being free
you are under no obligation to Mr..
Nohner whatever, nor will he be
to you, call on him and receive
trial treatment which will convince
you that it is an appliance that can
be absolutely relied upon.
Clergymen, lawyers, physicians,
telegraph operators, trainmen, work
ers in boiler shops and foundrles
and four hundred other classes OF
peopel speak their highest praise OF
this instrument. The representative
of the Philadelphia Ear Masseur
could not possibly aTord to take
chances on such an expensive SCALE
if the treatment could not be relied
upon, and if did not at once demon
strate it's value of usefulness to you.
Bear in mind that Mr.. Nohner Will
be at the Hotel on above day only
and during that time he Will be
pleased to convince each and every
caller an1icted with deafness. that
this truly scientific instrument pos
sesses all the virtues that are claim
ed for it. ri

At last her limbs became so
cramped that she was compelled q
change her position. She leaned
back upon her elbow, determined to
rise again and maintain her watch
the moment she was rested. But
sleep was close upon her. There was
lull in the louder noises of the jun.
gle. Her eyes closed, and her head
sank lower. In little time it was ly.

was fast asleep.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trOu-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.
