For Catarrhal Deafness
and Head Noises

Here in America there is much Suf-
fering from catarrh and head noises.
American people would do well to
consider the Ilethod employed by the
English to combat this insidous 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
efficacious.
Sufferers VINO could scarcely hear
watch tick tell how they had their
hearing restored by this English
treatment to such an extent that the
tick of a watch was plainly audible
seven and eight inches away from
either ear.
Therefore, il you know someone
who is troubled with catarrh, catarr-
hal deafness or head noises, cut out
this formula and hand it to 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

of our boys and girls?
Should we not require at least one
hour of home study in preparation for

Have our boys and girls any unde-
sirable habits? II so let us work to-
gether in the elimination of the bad
and the substitution of the good ones.
De we not believe that out of
