relief but it came back worse than ever.
Last fall got awfully bad; could only eat
light loaf bread and tea. In January 1 got
so bad that what l would eat would sour
and boil; my teeth would be like chalk.
l suffered terribly. l prayed every day for
something to cure me. One day | read
about EATONIC and told my wife to get

to work at p. m. / took one-third of it
and began to feel relief; when it was

was used up l had no pains. Wife got me
another box but l have felt the pain but
twice. used five tablets out of the new
box and have no more stomach trouble.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local Applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy
HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE acts
through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces
of the System. Catarrhal Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infamed you have
rumbling sound or imicC feet hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing may be destroyed
forever Many cases of Deafness are
caused by Catarrh, which is an inflamed

Kind Invitation.

College professors are prOverhially
absent minded and many stories are
told along this line. One is told about
the late Professor Cleveland, beloved
of all Bowdoin men of several dec
AIDES ago. One day the professor
had a powerful electric current run
ming over an insulated wire in the class
room.
'If a man should touch this wire"
he said to the class in physics, "he
would be killed instantly"
Then, beamingly absent mindedly
upon the nearest student, he said:
"Now, Mr. Smith, will you kindly
touch that wire?"-POrtland Express.
