 CATARRHAL DEAFNESS: During the past year have old you of sew eral new and successful methods of treating human ailments. Among those that are quite popular I might again mention Auto Hemic Therapy" by which the patients own blood is taken and a serum made therefrom and through which some very wonder full results have been obtained. Re- lief from Epilepsy, skin diseases, weakness, lack of energy and ambi- ton, neuritis and many other troubles are known to have yielded to Auto Hemic Therapy." Then there is "Spon- used for many years in spinal troubles but only recently recognized by the profession at large.
 The 'eVagal Reflex, system of diag- nosis is really a wonderful discovery and enables it's users to determine the first symptoms of deeply seated cancer, tuberculosis, syphilis and ma laria and by this early diagnosis a cure is possible in most all cases.
 There are other new and splendid methods of diagnosis and treatment but know vast numbe of you will want to know about the most success full and safe method of treatment for catarrhal deafness; The successful treatment Of this distressing trouble has been worked out by the osteo- paths largely through the research work done by D. J. Deason, when di rector of the laboratories of the A. T.
 
 which he calls Finger Surgery" Dr. Deason has been able to secure fa- vorable results in 95 per cent of the cases that were advised to take treat ment. In two years 2426 cases were examined about 76 per cent. of which were advised to take treatment Re- ports show that "A per cent. of all partial deafness is catarrhal. Out of the 1f22 cases of head noises com plete relief was obtained in 37 per cent. of accepted cases and partial re- lief in 52 per cent. while it appears certain that some benefit will be ob- tained in 70 per cent. of all casess
 While the method of, treatment au- pears simple yet it requires a certain and positive knowledge of the ana tony of the eye, ear, nose and throat and a degree of skill in applying the treatment that can only be acquired by careful study and close application of the knowledge gained. I have thor oughly investigated the system of treatment and found it sane and safe. The patient suffers but Little incon- venience or pain and the relief is so quick and pleasant that he gladly goes back for repeated treatment. A DOT ton or the routine of treatment in- cludes a new method of thorough ir- rigation by, which the mouth, throat and entire nasal cavity are thoroug ghly cleansed with from 2 to 6 quarts of hot saline solution. This is followed by the removal, usually by the finger of adhesions, adenoids, foreign growths, etc, and the digital dilata- ton of the orifice of the custodian tube in certain cases of catarrhal deafness.
 It doesn't seem possible that all this could be accomplished by simple manipulation with the fingers and without the use of surgical instru- ments but I have seen it done and even children are ready for repeated treatments. Tn the course of time the only medicine used will be in the form of truly scientific diet and the only surgery used will be to repair the damage done by accidents. We have not yet reached tha, stage of develop ment, however, and are still depend ent to some extent on medicine and surgery to keep us alive and happy
