DEAFNESS,
 HEAD NOISES New Book on New MGthOd- How to Recover Hearing Without Drugs or
 Electric Devices
Message of Hope and Joy to
 All Afflicted Persons

There is hope of a weIl-based kind which should bring joy and ultimate eontentment to multitudes of persons who have been troubled for years with deafness or head-nOises.
 Dr. Coutant, an able specialist, has evolved a newly perfected method for treating cases where the hearing is not perfect or where the sufferer is harass- ed by ringing. roaring, buzzing or other disagreea bIe noises in the head. It ap- pears that about 95 out of every hun dred cases are from causes amenable to proper treatment
 Dr. Coutant does not advocate the use of drugs or electricity. He relies chiefly upon cooperating with Nature in bringing about a speedy and effectu- al cure of morbid aural conditions Re marka ble cures are reported. many of them being in the cases of deafness that had existed for about 20 to 40 years. With the description given in his newly published book. the learned docto provides a long series of letters. written by per~ons VI had been given up as hopeless. and who were speedily cured ot home without loss of time and without inconvenience by Dr. Coutant's natural home method.
 Anyone who is interested can write to a dozen or a hundred of the persons who. not long ago. were victims of deafness or head-noises (or both, and who are now delighted to proclaim themselves as marvellously benefited or completely cured.
 pr. Coutant is not one of the ire sponsible quacks. of which there is such a large number. but is a reput- able, responsible. irentiate, practising physician with a third of a century's active experience.
 The doctor believes there are many who are troubled with deafness. etc, who might be permanently freed from their inability to hear and from tin nitus (noisesl if they would do as oth- CTS have successfully done. merely fol- lowing the advice given.
 The book, which any reader can ob- tain from the author. pr. George E Coutant. 269 D. Station E, New York, N. Y, has been declared by many to be worth it's weight in gold One needs only to write for it and the treatise will promptly come in a plain wrapper.

master system has bad a long and
bloody reign, but it's throne is
beginning to totter.- The horny
