For Catarrhal Deafness
and Head Noises

Here i'm America there is much suf-
fering from cataTrh and head noises
American people would do well 10
consider the method employed by the
English 10 combat this insidious dis
ease. Everyone knows how damp the
English climate is and how dampness
affects those suffering from catarrh.
In England they treat catarrhal deaf
ness and head noises as a constitu-
tional disease and use an internal
remedy for it that is really very eff
cacious
Sufferers who could scarcely hear a
watch tick tell how they had their
hearing restored by this English
treatment 10 such an extent that the
tick OF a watch was plainly audible
seven and eight inches away from
either ear.
Therefore If you know someone
who is troubled with catarrh, catarrh-
al deafness or head noises, cut out
this formula and hand il 10 them and
you will have been the means Of saw
ing some poor sufferer perhaps from
total deafness. The prescription can
be easily prepared at home for about
Z sc and is made as follows:
From your druggist obtain / OF. OF
Parmint Double Strength), about
sc worth. Take this home and add
10 II IA pint OF not water and
ounces Of graduated sugar; stir until
dissolved. Take a tablespoonful four
times a day.
Parmint is used in this way not on
ly to reduce by tonic action the in
flammation and swelling in the Eus-
tachian Tubes and thus 20 equalize
the air pressure on the drum. but 10
correct any excess Of secretions in the
middle ear. and the results 10 gives
are usually remarkably quick and ef-
feCtiVe.
Every person who has catarrh in
any form should give this recipe a
trial and free themselves from this
destructive disease.
