Mrs. VIM. Bowman, r. T. D. 1, Coon
Rapids, Iowa, writes:
Some time ago I wrote you about
my little boy, Clarence, five years OF
age. He was troubled with his ears
They were very sensitive to the touch
and he was quite deaf at times. He
seemed to be worse after catching
cold. I had taken him to doctors, bu:
they did not seem to be able to relieve
him, and I was very much afraid he
would lose his hearing entirely. He
was getting more deaf every day.
II wrote to you for advice. and you
prescribed Peruna. I began giving ii

entirely cured. He is now we'll and
hearty and can hear perfectly"
Catarrh Causes Many Diseases.
Many diseases are caused by taking
cold. A cold is very likely to settle
in the nose, causing nasal catarrh
It may settle in the upper part Of the
throat, called the nasal pharyngea
space. In this space are two little
tubes called eustachian tubes, that
lead to the middle car.
If the catarrh settles in the pilaryn.
geal space it may follow the mucous
membrane through the eustachia,
tubes into the middle ear. If it does
it will cause noises in the ear, and
later on be sure to cause deafness.
Catarrh of the throat may follow
the eustachian tubes up into the mid
die ear without causing much concern
on the part OF the patient. The par

Medical Paper Tells How Dust Spreads
Disease

Washington, March ID. = War
against dust is urged in an article
in the April issue of the Medical
Council which puts forward the in
teresting theory that new diseases
attacking man in Pandemics like
grip are due to the so-cailed cosmlc
dust.
This cosmic dust is supposed to
come from the stars but the sugges-
ton is made that it is nothing but
common terrestrial dust carried high
by the heat of the tropics or by vol
conoes and whirlwinds. Thousands
of tons of such dust fall yearly on
the earth and it is highly charged
with living organisms.
I'VE are coming more and more
to realize" says the article, the
role of dust in the etiology and
transmission of disease; but we have
studied the problem in it's loca
phases. not in its cosmographica
relations. This latter study i'm
presses us as important and we ad
vance the theory that oaganism
charged dust carried thousands o1
miles from the original terrestria
source may readily cause epidemic'
of disease"

A. c. l. RaS l62 Miles Double Track.

Rocky Mount, March 11.-Follow-
ing twelve months of construction
work on the final stretch in double
tracking the Atlantic Coast Line
Railroad between Pleasant Hill, N.
c.. and Petersburg, Va, there was
opened yesterda. twenty-nine miles
track, twelve Of which hes between
Pleasant Hill and Emporia and sew
enteen between Stony Creek and
Petersburg. The total of twenty
nine miles completes the double
tracking of the Atlantic Coast Line
between Richmond and Selma, a
distance of 1872 miles.
The new trackage will not at pres
ent be thrown into general use on
account of the track settling and
the freight trains of the company
will be run over this new trackage
for several months before the double
track is given final service for all
trains.
With the closing of this last gap
between Petersburg ..and the North
Carolina line, the Coast Line has
worked a vast improvement in it's
main line, and after a few months
there will be in use south from Rich
mond to Selma, a distance of 162
miles as complete and modern road
bed as that of any road in this sec.
