About the next day l.. d. Gravlcy

When we examined this one we found
it was full of fine beans, peppers, beet>

As Gen. Funston stepped from the

warmly, while a battery OF cameras
clicked on all sides.
When questioned with regard to his

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 con-
slider the method employed by the Eng
IlSh TO combat This inSidiOus disease.
Everyone knows how damp the English
climate is and how dampness affects
those suffering from catarrh. In Eng
land they treat catarrhal deafness and
mead noises as a constitutional disease
and use an internal remedy for il that
is really very efficaciOus-
Sufferers who could scarcely hear a
watch tick tell how they had their
hearing restored by this English treac-
menr &c 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 IL to 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 I5c
and IS made as follows:
From your druggist obtain ! OF. Of
Parmint Double Strength. about 75c
worth Take this home. and add 10 il
IA pint OF hot water and ounces of
graduated sugar, stir until dissolved.
Take tablespoonful four times a day.
Parmint is used in this way not only
to reduce by tonic action the inflamma-
ton and swelling in the Eustachian
Tubes, and thus to equalize the air
pressure on the drum. but to correct
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
