Catarrhal Deafness
 May Be Overcome
A simple, safe and reliable way that calls for no ugly trumpets, phones
 or other instruments

To be deaf is very annoying and em- barrassing. People who are deaf are generally mighty sensitive on this sub feet. And yet many deaf folks carry around instruments that call attention to their infirmity Therefore, people. who are hard of hearing, who surfer from head noises. or who are actually deaf from catarrhal trouble, will be glad to know of a simple recipe that can be easily made up at home for a few cents cost that is really quite ef- ficient in relieving the disagreeahle deafness and head noises caused by catarrh.
 From any drug, store get one ounce of Parmint (double strength), about soc worth. Take this home and put it into a simple syrup made of If pint of hot water and four ounces of or dinary granulated sugar. Take tablespoonful four times a day.
 This treatment should by tonic ac- tion reduce the inflammation in the middle ear that a catarrhal condition would be likely to cause and with the inflammation gone. the distressing head noises, headaches, cloudy think ing and that dull feeling in the ears should gradually disappear. Anyone who suffers from catarrh. catarrhal deafness or head noises should give Parmint trial It is pleasant to take and is quite inexpensive.
