To Relieve Catarrh,
Catarrhal Deafness
And Head Noises

Persons suffering from catarrhal
deafness or who are growing hard of
hearing and have head noises will be
glad to know that this distressing at
Fiction can usually be successfully
treated at home by an internal medi-
cine that in many instances has effect
. ed complete relief after other treat
ments nave failed. Sufferers 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 formula and hand it to them and
you may have been the means of saw
ing some poor sufferer perhaps from
total deafness. The prescription can
be prepared at home and is made as
follows:
Secure from your druggist OF. Par

water and a little granu1ated sugar;
stir until dissolved. Take one table

carefully to every outgo it seems lit
tie queer that oxen should be so rare
ly spoken of or, apparently, considered.
There may, very likely, be farms where
they wouldn't do at all. There are
others where they not only would do"
but would be better and cheaper than
horses. Is yours one of the latter sort?
I'm sure l don't know. You do, or
ought to. The only question should
be: If they will do the farm work as
well and more cheaply than horses,
why spend needless money for mere
appearance?
