CUT THIS OUT
Old English Recipe for Catarrhal
Deafness and Head


II you know someone who is trou-
bied with catarrhal deafness or head
noises, cut cut this formula and hand
1t to them and you will have been the
means of saving some poor sufferer
perhaps from total deafness. Expert
ments conducted in England some
time ago seem to prove conclusively
that catarrhal deafness, head noises,
ETC., were directly caused by constitu-
tlonal trouble. 1t was further brought
out that salves, sprays, inhalers, ETC.,
merely temporize with the complaint,
and seldom, if ever. effect d perma
lent cure. This being so, much time
and money We're spent in perfecting a
pure, gentle, yet effective tonic that
would quickly disr.el all traces Of the
catarrhal poison from the system. The
prescription which was eventually
formulated and which has aroused the
belief that catarrhal deafness and
head noises will soon be extinct is
given below in understandable form
so that anyone can treat themselves
in their own home at little expense.
Secure from your druggist oz.
Parmint Double Strength, about 75c
worth Take this home and add to it
a pint OF hot water and 4 OF. Of gran
ulated sugar; stir until dissolved. Take
one tablespoonful four times day.

only to reduce by tonic action, the in

Every person who has catarrh in
any form should give this recipe a
trial and free themselves from this
destructive disease.

It Is a source of great satisfaction
to know that the parents of the city

so much to the American child as II
does today when one can be trainea
inteligently in the schools of the ma

everyone to secure the best train

years have been practically nil Many
communities are troubled with tru-
ancy to such an extent in the schools
that it is necessary to employ an Of
ficer purposely for the work and pay
him substantial salary. The schools

the letter was written as if 1t had

North Broadway, st. Louis, in house
kept by Max Kroeggler While In the
saloon one night he and Mike Mesha,
a countryman. became engaged in 4

cording to his story, Mesha Knocked
at his door and when he opened 1t he
