To Relieve Catarrh,
Catarrhal Deafness
And Head Noises

Persons suffering from catarrhal deaf
ness, or who are growing hard of hear
ing and have head noises will be glad to
know that this distressing affliction can
usually be successfully treated at home
by an internal medicine that in many
instances has effected complete relief
after other treatments have failed. Suf-
ferers who could scarcely hear have had
their hearing restored to such an extent
that the tick of a watch was plainly audi
BILE seven or eight inches away from
either ear. Therefore, If you know of
someone who is troubled with head noises
or catarrhal deafness. cut out this for
mula and hand it to them and you may
have been the means of saying some poor
sufferer perhaps from total deafness.
The prescription can be prepared at home
and is made os follows:
Secure from your druggist I OF. Par
mint Double Strength). Take this home
and add to 1t II pint of hot water and
little graduated sugar: stir until dis
solved. Take one 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 equaiZe the air pressure on
the drum, but to correct any excess of
secretions in the middle ear, and the re-
suits 1t gives are nearly always quick and
effective.
Every person who has catarrh In any
FORM or distressing rumbling, kissing
sounds in their ears, should give this
recipe a trial.-Ady.

QUIT HIS JOB
Telegraph Operator Lay Flat of
His Back.
Gains Twenty-Five Pounds After
Taking Tanlac.

When 1 took my first dose of Tan
lac / was flat on my back in bed and
my wife and friends had lost all hope.
Five days afterwards l was out of the
bed, and now, since taking six bottles.
I'm back at work, feeling as well as /
twenty-five pounds" was the truly re-
markable statement hade a few days
ago by A. w. Ruggles, a well known
telegraph operator. living at South
Spring street, Springfield. Ill.
Il know it's hard for people to be-
honest truth. My wife and all my
neighbors as well as a host of friends
will testify to what l say and l am
willing to go before a notary and
make an affidavit to this effect.
About ten years ago began to suf
fer with indigestion and stomach trou-
Bile. My appetite began to fail me and
no matter how many tempting dishes
my wife would fix up, l just had to
force myself to eat. This, of course,
weakened me terribly and before long
1 realized 1 was breaking down under
the strain of my trying work at the
telegraph key. My nerves were all
torn to pieces and it was only by main
force that 1 stuck by my key in the
afternoons when the work began to
pile up.
Nobody will ever know how I suf-
fered unless they have been through
the same thing. Every time l ate any
thing 1 would have terrible pains and
cramps around my stomach after
wards. Gas would form and press
against my heart until l would get
right dizzy and several times 1 actually
tainted. My work was simply torment
to me. 1 would break out with cold
perspiration at the least little excite
ment, and in a few moment would be
SO weak I could hardly sit up. I
couldn't sleep to do me any good and
kept going down until 1 had lost TWEEN
ty-five pounds.
Finally, I just had to quit work
altogether and went home to be a
nervous wreck. I had laid there help
less for six weeks and everybody who
saw me thought I'd never get up
again, when my wife got some Tanlac
and took it, and. as l said before, in
five days l was out of that bed.
We'll, sir, I'll admit l was sur
prised, but my friends who had not
been allowed to see me a few days
before were dumbfounded to see me
up looking SO fine. 1 kept on taking
Tanlac until now I am back at work
and feel as we'll as l ever felt in my
life. I eat anything 1 want, enjoy
every mouthful, and nothing hurts me
at all. The pains have all disappeared
and 1 sleep sound all night long. l
enjoy my work just like l used to
years ago and l feel so thankful for
what Tanlac has done for me that l
would like every person in the world
who is suffering like 1 was to know
about it,
Tanlac is sold in Topeka by Tully-
Mcfarland Drug Co.. S35 Kansas ave-
nue. and 729 Kansas avenue.-Adv.
