Big New Series of Detective Tales.
North American Will Put Out the
Flu Manchu' Stories Beginning
October 5.

A new writer OF detective stories, who
within the last year has startled English
and American readers by producing an
entirely new line of stories OF crime myS-
teries, is about TO be exploited by the
Sunday North American.
Sax Rohmer is the name OF the new
writer, and the stories of the series re-
late the battle OF wits between Nayland
Smith, one of Scotland Yards brightest
mystery solvers, and DR.. Flu Manchu, a
mysterious Oriental, whose resourceful-
ness and courage in the committing Of
crime are enough TO test the ability OF
the worlds greatest Sleuths.
The Flu Manchu stories represent the
biggest thing in detective fiction since the
Sherlock Holmes productions. They are
absolutely new and altogether different
from any other detective stories ever
written. They will prove diverting TO
any reader OF modern fiction, because
they represent the very best OF the novel;
ties.
The first OF the series of ten stories will
be printed in the Sunday North American

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There
is only one way to cure deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed condition
OF the mucous lining OF the EuStachian
Tube. When this tube is in!lamed you
have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when II is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the intlam-
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored 10 its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
OF ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition OF the
MUCOUS surfaces.
