AN AGENCY FOR SPREADING

There is cause for serious reflection in
connection with an outbreak of disease
in Brandon during the past 10 days, the
gravity of the situation being eentered in
part about the danger Of using clothing
which comes from a renting house There
are many indications that the outbreak
of spinal meningitis in that town was
due to the use Of wigs and costumes in a
local talent performance which were
rented from a concern that makes bus
mess of holding regalia for amateur per
formanees and permitting the temporary
use of the regalia for a consideration

cleanliness and good health ON the part
of those who don the regalia. And we do
not know that the articles are always
cleaned and fumigated even when they
are returned to the house which rents
them.
In any event serious chances are tax

worn by persons who were in less Sc

the disease germs may have been trans

For Catarrhal Deafness
and Head Noises

Here in America there is much suf-
fering from cstarrh and head noises.
American people would do well TO con-
slider the method employed by the Eng
llsh TO combat this insidious disease
livery one knows how damp the English
climate is and how dampneSs affects
those suffering from catarrh- II Eng
land they treat catarrhal deafness and
head noises as a constitutional disease
and use an internal remedy for II that
is really very efficacious.
Sufferers who could scarcely hear
watch tick tell how they had their
hearing restored by this English treat
menr 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 il 10 them and you
viii have been the means OF saving
some poor sufferer perhaps from total
deafness. The prescription can be
easily prepared at home for about sc
and - made as follows:
From your druggist obtain 1 OF. OF
Parmint double Strength. about 15c
worth Take this home. and add to n
IA pint OF hot water and 4 ounces OF
graduated sugar. stir until dissolved
Take a tablespoonful four times day
Parmint is used in this way not only
to reduce by tonic action the inflamma-
ton and swelling in tbs 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 il 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
