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 method employed by the
English to combat this insidious 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 eff
cacious.
Sufferers who could scarcely hear a
watch ticket tell how they had their
hearing restored by this English
treatment to such an extent that the
tick of 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 to them and you
will have been the means OF saving
some poor sufferer perhaps from to-
tai deafness. The prescription can be
easily prepared at home for about 75c
and is made as follows:
From your druggist obtain 1 OF. OF
Parmint Double Strength), about 75C
worth. Take this home and add TO il
"A 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 inflam-
nation and swelling in the Eustachiar
Tube, and thus to equalize the air
pressure on he drum. but to correct
any excess of secretions in the mid
die ear, and the results it gives are
usually remarkably quick and effec-
tive.
Every person who has catarrh in
any form should give this recipe a
trial and free themselves from this
destructive disease.

huge income for the state and its

The administration OF the public
lands by Mr.. Ervien has been remark
able in that il has been almost en-
tirely free from criticism even from
political opponents During the entire
period Of nearly ten years while Ervien
has been state land commissioner only
two general criticisms have been d.
rected against his administration poll
cies- one OF these is that too great
number Of large leases have been made
a Policy Which Justifes IteIf.
The answer To the first OF these
criticisms. which has now practically
ceased to be heard. as the wisdom of
the commissioners general policy has
become recognized. is found in the an
nual reports Of the state land office.

under what are termed small leases"

greater than is the total acreage held

department to designate leases Of 20

leases which has made the states lands

greatest amount hoped for by anyone

enjoyed by New Gexico from its state

Close observers OF the development
Of the states land holdings. and OF
their administration attribute the huge
increase in revenue OF the past two
years TO three general causes
These are. first. general development
OF the state, increased demand for
land throughout the west. and the
favorable selections from the public
domain which have been made during
the period OF Mr. Ervien's administra-
ticn. making the lands possible of
ready lease and sale.
Second. to the general act OF the
legislature, following statehood. which
permitted the land commissioner To
nut into operation broad-gauge bust
ness policy in the handling Of state
lands. and allowing their use in the
most practical way, while at the same
time effectively safeguarding them
