CUT THIS OUT
Old English Recipe for Catarrhal Deaf
ness and Head Noises.

IL you know someone who is troubled
with head noises, or Catarrhal Deaf
ness, cut out this formula, and hand
II to them, and you will have been the
means Of saving some poor sufferer
perhaps from total deafness Recent
experiments have proved conclusively
that Catarrhal Deafness, head noises,
etc, were the direct cause Of constitu-
tional disease, and that salves, sprays,
inhalers. etc. meerly temporize with
the complaint and seldom. II ever, eff
feet a permanent cure. This being so,
much time and money has been spent
of late by q noted specialist in perfect
ing a pure, gentle, yet effective tonic
that would quickly dispel all traces Of
the catarrhal poison from the system.
The effective prescription which was
eventually formulated. and which has
aroused the belief that deafness will
soon be extinct, is given below In I'M
derstandable form. so that anyone can
treat themselves in their own home
1t little expense.
Secure from your druggist l OF. Par.
mint Double Strength), about 75c
worth. Take this home and add to 1t
Y pint of hot water and OF. of granu-
lated sugar: stir until dissolved. Take
one tablespoonful four times day.
The first dose should begin to re-
ieve the distressing head noises, head
ache, dullness, cloudy thinking, etc.
while the hearing rapidly returns as
he system is invigorated by the tonic
lction of the treatment. Loss of smell
md mucus dropping in the back Of the
throat, are other symptoms that show
he presence of catarrhal poison, and
which are often entirely overcome by
his efficacious treatment. Nearly
ninety per cent. of all ear troubles are
directly caused by catarrh; therefore
here must be many people whose
iearing can be restored by this simple
aome treatment.
Every person who is troubled with
read noises, catarrhal deafness, or ca
arrh In any form, should give this
prescription rial. Glen Thistle
hwaite can supply you.

s With our new delivery car we are able

The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1916-03-30

If the use of the Mexican railways is
essential to the success of Gen. Per-
shing's expedition it is decidedly up to
Carranza to give permission for their
use. The defacto government will prof
it as much as the United States by the
elimination of Villa. In fact the United
States is undertaking to do for Carran-
"a what he ought to have done without
assistance, but probably he WASH t able
to do it. It IS very fine to salute Car
rama with this latter you my dear Al
phonso" style, and to show courtesy,
assurance of reciprocity and apologies
in generous measure whenever anything
doesn t go to suit him, but there is such
a thing as letting this Villa hunt be-
come needlessly expensive and possibly
fruitless, just by dealing too gingerly
with Carranza, and failing to let him
know exactly what the United States
must have from him in the way of co
operation.

z. Fl. Babbitt of Bellows Falls, who
would have had strong support if he
had decided to run for the governorship,
comes out in his whole-hearted, enthusi-
astic way in support of Horace F. Ora
ham. Every newspaper which has come
to this office since Mr.. Graham IS candi-
dacy was announced has had common
datory words to say of the present state
auditor. One of the most original and at
the same time strongest endorsements is
the following from the Bennington Ban
ner: "Horace F. Graham, Craftsbury
will be the next governor of Vermont
unless all signs fail. He has been state
auditor for fourteen years and no 9TH
er man knows the business affairs of
Vermont so well as he. Sometimes can
dldates for governor are brilliant, some
times popular, sometimes honest, some
times industrious, sometimes able, ans
sometimes merely the best that is avail
able. Mr.. Graham is not a human
wonder, paragon of virtue or climax
of genius, but he is a plain, sound, hard
| headed, honest and patriotic Vermontel
with more good qualities than are of
ten combined in one speciman of man
kind. With Horace Graham governo
the state will be well served. The Ban
ner hopes and expects to see him nomi
mated and elected.
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1916-03-30

The Burlington Free Press, which
dotes on discussing politics in the abs
tract, seemingly comedies that the next
governor will be State Auditor Horace
F. Graham, and with that question set
tied takes up the lieutenant governor
ship. The contemporary regards Speak
er John w. Weeks of Middlebury and
ex-senator Roger w. Hulburd as can
didates, although neither has made a
definite announcement to that effect,
and in its usual style spreads On a
sugar coating of personal qualities
public and political services to show
that both men are entitled to the office
If the Free Press should come out
some day and slap an individual on the
wrist the whole newspaper contingent
of the state would be Jared.

Attacks on the Primary.
(Manehester, n. H., Union.


After every primary election, espec-
laily those IN which no particular CON
test is made, there is more or less ad-
verse criticism of primary elections
and arguments offered in favor of a
restoration of the old-fashioned con
vention system. 1t will be observed
that almost without exception these at
taeks upon the primary principle ema-
nate from sources which were bitterly
hostile to any change from the conven-
ton system to more popular method
of making nominations. They serve
merely to reveal the fact that the old
antagonisms, in spite of defeat, still
persist and will become open and ac-
tive whenever those who hold them
think the time propitious for an effort
at the restoration of the old time con-
vention.
1t would be very foolish and un.
observant man who would affirm with
out qualification that the popular pri-
mary, as at present developed, is per-
feet instrument for securing an expires
sion of the membership of a party as
to its candidates, but it would be a
very much more stupid and blind indi-
viduai, with an excessively short mem
DRY, who did not recognize it as a posi-
ring ruled caucuscs, and clique-ruled
conventions.
There are always elements in gov
eminent like ours, which seek selfish
personal ends and demand selfish priv
leges, inimical to the public interest
When the convention system offered al
easy opportunity for establishing con
troll these selfish interests, not only il
New Hampshire, but in many othe
states, established and maintained it
The surest way to invite a renewed eff
fort at such control would be to re
store conditions as they were when pri
vate interests, and not the public in
terests managed state affairs.
