There would be a matter OF ten feet
eight inches Of this property left after
the street was widened, and Mr. Moore
said that this would bs of no use for in

speculative value only which he did not
believe the present owners would con

vative estimate Of damages TO the Cen

Here in America there is much suf-
fering from catarrh and head noises,
American people would do we'll to con-
slider 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 II that is really very eff
cacious
Sufferers who could scarcely hear
have had their hearing restored by
this English treatment 10 such an ox-
tent that the tick of a watch was
plainly audible seven and eight
inches away from either ear.
Therefore. il you know someone
who Is troubled with catarrh, ca
tarrhal deafness or head noise. cut
out this formula and hand It to them
and you may have been the means OF
saving some poor sufferer perhaps
from total deafness. The prescription
can be easily prepared at home fol-
about 75c and is made as follows
From your druggist obtain / OF. Of
Parmint Double Strength, about 75C
worth. Take this home, and add tC
/ il u pint OF hot water and ounces oi

only to reduce by tonic action the
inflammation and swelling IN the

ize the air pressure on the drum bu
10 correct any excess Of secretions il
