1t was this that made the defence Of

remedy the defect the French had recon-

perhaps from total deafness. Recent
experiments have proved conclusively
that Catarrhal Deafness. head noises
etc, were the direct cause OF constitu-

complaint and seldom, if ever. effect a
permanent cure. This being so, much
time and money has been spent of late
by noted specialist in perfecting a
pure, gentle, yet effective tonic that
would quickly disrel all traces OF the
catarrhal poison from the system. The
effective prescription which was even
tuaily formulated, and which has
aroused the belief that deafness will
soon be extinct, is given below in un-
