For Catarrhal Deafness
and Head Noises

Here in America there is much suf-
fering from catarrh and head noises
American people would do we'll to con-
slider the method employed by the Eng
llsh to combat this insidious disease
Everyone knows how damp the English
climate is and how dampness affects
those suffering from catarrh. In Eng
land they treat catarrhal deafness and
head noises as constitutional disease
and use an internal remedy for it that
is really very efficacious.
Sufferers who could scarcely hear q
watch tick tell how they had their
hearing restored by this English treat
of a watch was plainly audible seven
and eight inches away from either ear
Therefore, If you know someone who
is troubled with catarrh, catarrhal deaf
ness or head noises, cut out this for
mula and hand 1t to them and you will
have been the means of saving some
poor sufferer perhaps from total deaf
ness. The prescription can be easily
prepared at home for about 75c and is
made as follows:
From your druggist obtain / OF. of
Parinint Double Strength about 75c
worth. Take this home, and add to it
Il pint of hot water and 4 ounces of
granulated sugar; stir until dissolved
Take q tablespoonful four times a day.
Parmint is used in this way not only
to reduce by tonic action the infiamma-
tion and swelling in the Eustachian
Tubes, and thus to equalize the air
pressure on the drum, but to correct
any excess of secretions in the middle
ear, and the results 1t gives are usually
remarkably quick and effective.
Every person who has catarrh in any
form should give this recipe a trial
and free themselves from this destruc-
tive disease.-Advertisem

into the town at almost the same time.
At the present, Gratz is without
street lights of any kind and water
is procured from pumps and wells.
Because of this water situation, the
town, too, is without fire protection.
a little more than year ago, the
borough council granted a franchise
to the Johnson Construction Company
of Harrisburg, to furnish water. The
company was given a period of one
year TO finish the work but when the
cost of the job was figured it was
found the adventure would be a los
ing proposition so the construction
company did not start work. At the
expiration of the year, the concern
made another proposition and asked
for a franchise to furnish both water
and lights, claiming that with the
same fuel, both could be supplied.
An ordinance to this effect was
drawn up, passed by council and
signed by the burgess and now the
company has until the end of this
year to make the improvements. It
is understood work will be started in
the early Spring.
Will Lay Water Mains
The company will lay the water
mains on all the streets of the town
and the pumping station and power
pldnL Will DO 6TGCLeu OuLSlQ6 OIL the
borough limits on a tract of land
purchased from o. T. Tobias. On
this land are two large springs which
can well supply the town with water.
1t is believed the construction COM
pany will build q reservoir or stand
pipe on the side of the mountain so
that the water will have a good pres
sure when it reaches Gratz.
Fifteen fire plugs will be placed at
various street intersections and the
borough council has agreed to pay for
the use of them at the rate of $40 per
plug annually. The rates for the con-
sumers will be practically the same as
those in other towns.
According to the present plans, be-
tween three and four dozen small
electric lights will be placed about
the town. The borough's lighting bill
will be about $500 year. And of
course, with the establishing of an
electric light plant, many residents
will cast aside their oil lamps and
use the more modern method of
lighting their homes.
