For Catarrhal Deafness
and Head Noises

Here i'm America there is much suf-
tering from catarrh and head noises.
American people would do we'll to
consider the method employed bv the
English to combat this insidious dis
ease. Everyone knows how damn the
English climate is and how dampness
affects those suffering with catarrh. In
England they treat catarrhal deafness
and head noises as a constitutional
disease and use an internal remedy for
II that is really very eficacious.
Sufferers who could scarcely hear a
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, If you know someone who
is troubled with catarrh. catarrhal
deafness or head noises. cut out this
formula and hand it 10 them and you
Will have been the means of saving
some poor sufferer perhaps from total
deafness. The prescription can be
easily prepared az home for about 75c
and is made as follows:
From your druggist obtain 1 oz. Of
Parmint Double strength. about 75c
worth. Take this home and add to it
IA pint of hot water and 4 ounces Of
granulated sugar; stir until dissolved.
Take a tablespoonful four times a day.
Parmint is used in this way not only
to reduce by tonic action the infiam-
nation and swelling in the Eustachian
Tubes. and thus TO equalize tho air
pressure on the drum, but TO correct
any excess of secretions in the mil lie
ear and the results it gives are usu-
ally remarkably quick and effective.
Every person who has catarrh in
any form should give this recipe a
trial and free themselves from this
destructive disease

VOTE YES" ON NO. 1.

Officialdom has repealed the pri-
mary election law which was enacted
by direct vote of the people in 1912
and which the people refused to re-
peal by another direct vote in 1914.
Officialdom also attached the emer-
gency clause to prevent the people
from referring the repeating act to a
popular vote thereby locked and bolt
ed the door on the people.
In place of the Richards law, Off
cialdom enacted the present primary
law which retains the official spoils
system, which makes candidates in
stead of principles the issue, which
tends to minority rule and which
produces a confused ballot.
On the other hand, the amended
Richards primary law to be voted on
November 7 provides for elimination
of the official spoils system; provides
for open representative proposals in
stead of the secret slate; provides for
discussion of issues so the people can
hear both sides, and provides for a
plain ballot. Be sure to vote Yes
on No. l, which is the amended Rich
ards primary law.-(Adv.)
