CUT THIS OUT
OLD ENGLISH RECIPE FOR CA
TARRH, CATARRHAL DEAFNESS
AND HEAD NOISES

If you know of some one WHO is
troubled with Catarrhal DeafneSs, head
noises or ordinary catarrh cut out this
formula and hand it to them aud you
may have been the means of saving
some poor sufferer perhaps from total
deafness. In England scientists for
long time past have recognized that
catarrh is a constitutional disease
and necessarily requires constitu-
tional treatment
Sprays, inhalers and nose douches
are liable to irritate the delicate air
the middle ear which frequently
means total deafness. or else the dis
ease may be driven down the air
passages towards the lungs which is
equally as dangerous. The following
formula which is used extensively in
the damp English climate is a con-
stitutional treatment and should
prove especially efficacious to suffer-
ers here who live under more favor
able climate conditions.
Secure from your druggist l ounce
of Parmint Double strength). Take
water and a little granulatedr sugar;
stir until dissolved. Take one table,
spoonful four times n day. This will
often bring relief from distressing
head noises. Clogged nostrils should
open, breathing become easy and
in the eustachian tubes is reduced
Parmint used in this way acts direct
ly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system and has a tonic
action that helps to obtain the de-
sired results. The preparation is easy
to make, costs little and is pleasant
TO take. Every person who has ca
tarrh or head noises or is hard Of
hearing should give this treatment a
trial.

After the Grippe

To regain your health and strength
again you must take a tonic and for
this purpose the Medical Profession
is prescribing Iron. Nux Vomica,
Gentian, Capsicum and Zinc Phos-
phide in some form. Many prepara-
tions containing Iron are very con-
stipating, but this is overcome by the
addition of Aloin in Chase's Blood
and Nerve Tablets, which contain all
of the above tonic remedies.
In these Tablets you have all that
is good in tonic medicines without
any harmful effects. They are safe
and sure health builders and at this
particular time it would be hard to
over estimate their value.
Weigh yourself before taking
them and see what you gain in
weight and strength.
Nearly all druggists sell Chase's
Blood and Nerve Tablets at sixty
cents a box. Special ninety cents.

COMPANIES FAIL TO
COOPERATE WITH ASSESSORS.
President Whitman Asks Legal AS
s~istance That They May Be Prop
erly Assessed for Taxing.

Complaining that the Atlantic Coun-
ty Board of Taxation had failed to
get data from either of the two lead
ing plants at Mays Landing or at FL
wood to guide them in making an as
sessment as required by law, Bertram
E. Whitman, president of the Board,
appeared before the Board of Free
holders at their monthly meeting in
Atlantic City on Wednesday morning
and requested the services Of the coun-
ty solicitor. His appeal was granted.
Mr.. Whitman expressed dissatisfac-
ton at the alleged lack of courtesy
shown. He claimed that when the To-
cal assessors had not succeeded in
gaining access to the grounds and the
desired assessments to enable them to
close their books and turn them into
the County Board, that body had COM
municated by letter with the officials
of the two loading companies
ing that they would present them
selves at the entrances on a given
date to levy the assessments. There
the Tax Board followed the schedule
proposed.
At one of the plants they were adj
mitted and shown through the grounds
but did not meet any of the officers in
charge and were informed that they
would have to obtain their information
as to values from headquarters. At
the other plant they were refused adj
mittance. The County Board then in
formed the local assessors, who ac-
companied them on the tour of in
spection, that if the loading compan-
les took no heed of the requests for
cooperation the board would assess
each plant at SO, 900, 900, and they
could appeal if that price was too
high. The unfortunate result of such
a procedure is that it would work a
hardship upon the Townships in
which the plants are located should
they appeal and their appeals be
granted.
I'VE realize that any property that
belongs to the government is exempt
from taxation" said Mr.. Whitman in
addressing the Freeholders. IF those
plants are not private concerns there
should be no hesitancy in informing
us of the fact. But we are inclined
to the belief that the property is own
ed by private corporations and is be-
ing used for private gain and there
fore subject to taxation. We have ex-
hausted our efforts. If we are to bring
this matter to a successful conclusion
we must have the assistance of the
Solicitor"
